There's something about Moleskine that just doesn't invite me to write in it.<br /><br />However, that bag looks great.Pepper Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00088936125225559789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-66975166526350575422011-05-30T22:32:57.612-04:002011-05-30T22:32:57.612-04:00Janet: "An eagle eyed booth attendant was on ...Janet: "An eagle eyed booth attendant was on me instantly with a glint in her eye that meant 'put down the bag; back away from the display.'"<br /><br />Thank God New York is still New York<br /><br />Janet: "My cabbie deposited me in a shower of flame and crack of the sound barrier in 93 seconds flat."<br /><br />Cancel that first remark. If the cabbies speak English now, New York is NOT the New York I briefly and gloriously returned to a few years ago. Back then the fun of riding a cab was wondering what strange place you were likely to end up in, since the cab driver had no idea what you said your destination was. He had no idea if you told him in English, that is.<br /><br />Michael Moore did a documentary a few years ago in which he proved to the astonishment of all viewers, especially New Yorkers (current and erstwhile) that cab drivers in Bulgaria DO speak English. Who knew?<br /><br />If I'd had any food in my mouth when I saw that I would have choked.

Ye...I bet it took a lot of moles to make that bag.<br /><br />Yep. I'm rummy from too much sun and reading.<br /><br />Actually, what I was going to say is that I took a workshop from the writer Ivan Coyote (you have read her novel BOW GRIP right? RIGHT? Lie to me if you haven't) and she spent five minutes telling us that if we were real writers then we had to have enough self-worth to shell out the money for the really good tools...i.e. moleskin notebooks.<br /><br />My self-worth is higher than my paycheque so far.Joellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04345209675431505161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-83152624491593228642011-05-29T21:52:28.463-04:002011-05-29T21:52:28.463-04:00I am not allowed anything purple.

I very nearly squeed in the middle of Target when I realized they'd replaced half their "journal" isle with a Moleskine display in all colors and sizes.<br /><br />(btw - Staples sells a knock-off hardback version for $8 if you don't mind purple.)Josin L.
