Kanye West has opened up about the first time he met girlfriend Kim
Kardashian and instantly fell in love.The 'Jesus Walks' star sat down
with his future mother-in-law Kris Jenner to tape an interview, which
aired on her talk show Kris on Friday, and revealed it was love at first
sight when he met her daughter."Im trying to remember if it was her
being in the studio when she was Brandys assistant and I think she
brought us in something to drink, something you cant drink on daytime
television, or it might have been when I was doing Brandys video," he
told Jenner."I remember asking my manager like, Whos that girl right
there? and hes like, Oh you mean Kim?"
West proclaimed he knew
Kardashian was "the one" and spent the next few years pursuing her,
despite the fact they were both in other relationships - she romanced
Reggie Bush and briefly wed basketball star Kris Humphries, while he
dated model Amber Rose."I remember seeing pictures of her, I think she
was in Australia with Paris Hilton, and reading her name and telling my
friends like, Man, have you ever seen Kim Kardashian?"
West
eventually cast her as Star Wars character Princess Leia in his failed
TV pilot Alligator Boots, and finally plucked up the courage to speak to
her one day on set."I remember I had this TV show that had puppets in
it, like a modern day Jim Henson vibe, and we were doing this skit where
I was playing, like, a Star Wars character and I wanted her to be
Princess Leia because she was my dream girl.
"So she came to the
show and I just remember being so nervous around her and so in awe that
she was actually in front of me and we shot the scene and I was able to
start talking to her and just speaking with her..The worlds most
efficient and cost effective offshoremerchantaccount?. I was in love with her before I ever got to talk to her."
Kardashian
and West have been together for over a year. In June, they welcomed
their first child together, a daughter named North West.West showed a
photo of his two-month-old daughter on Jenners show.West admitted that
now he has a daughter he regrets his infamous stage invasion at the 2009
MTV Video Music Awards.
He interrupted as Taylor Swift accepted
her best female video prize,We offer the biggest collection of old
masters that can be turned into hand painted cleanersydney on
canvas. claiming the gong should have gone to Beyonce Knowles."Even at
my lowest points, the last thing that I would want to happen to my
daughter is some crazy drunk black guy in a leather shirt to come up and
cut her off at an awards show," he said.
This saddens me,
especially because the smell of mimeograph/ditto fluid returns me to the
third grade with Miss Molly Mehagan, my teacher and first love. The way
she handed me that slightly damp paper with the purply ink as she
passed by my desk brings me right back to Crestview Elementary School. I
can still smell those vaguely sweet chemicals filling my nostrils as I
draw them in deeply.
I always thought we'd marry, Molly Mehagan
and me, and we'd create our wedding invitations with ballpoint pens on
carbon paper and make copies by running them through the inky rollers
together. But I digress.
There are still those who love
typewriters -- Tom Hanks uses one to write thank you notes, and recently
waxed poetic about it in an essay in The New York Times. Prisons still
use them -- most prisoners aren't allowed on the Internet -- and some
famous writers say they write better when they can feel the letters
hitting paper.
Cormac McCarthy wrote "The Road" on his Olivetti,
and Stephen King's "Misery" would not be the same without the Royal
that was missing the n,Are you still hesitating about where to buy paintingreproduction? t and e keys when he finished.
And
it's hard to imagine Hemingway writing "The Old Man and the Sea" on
anything but a battered 1940s Royal while standing at his upright desk
in Havana with a bottle of gin and a cigar beside it.
Your IBM
Selectric was the Cadillac of business typewriters. When it was
introduced in 1961 the innovative type ball design revolutionized the
industry and greatly increased the speed at which a skilled typist could
take dictation or produce an invoice in triplicate.
Later
Selectric models included features like the correction tape ribbon that
eliminated the need for either Wite-Out or that opaque correctable,
erasable paper.
I did some research to find a place to fix your
Selectric, with some success. My smart aleck lawyer friend Tommy Strelka
said, "I know a place. It's called the 1800s. I know a Doc Brown who
can give you a ride in his DeLorean."
I stopped in at Roanoke
Typewriter Sales on Campbell Avenue Southeast, beneath the Interstate
581 bridge. There I found proprietor Glenn Moore, 70, who was profiled
in a 2010 story in this paper. I was probably lucky to catch him in the
shop, as he spends more time doing commercial service calls than manning
the store.
He sat at his desk by the window and told me stories
of the boom years, which included fixing the machines in the formerly
smoke-filled newsroom of The Roanoke Times & World-News, and we
talked about how things have changed in the years since he started. He
worries that kids today with mechanical minds who would have found
decent paying jobs in textile and furniture factories are unable to find
jobs that pay a living wage, and wonders who will fix things in the
future.
Moore says that repairing typewriters isn't a huge part
of his business anymore, though he does service all the machines in area
funeral homes, which still use them for filing death certificates.
He
says that your estimate of $200 is probably pretty accurate, since the
guts of it must be taken apart and given a special bath and then put
back together, which takes quite a while.
I'll post both Moore's
phone number and the story by reporter Duncan Adams about him on the
What's On Your Mind blog.New and used commercial plasticmoulds sales,
rentals, and service. I know it's a lot of money to repair it, but part
of me hopes you'll go for it so that your Selectric 3 will live a
