[datass]

these little notebooks with elastic bands and a little pocket.
what makes them so good? they're really expensive. but it seems like a lot of people love these things.

do you own one? would you get one?

I personally own and use moleskine notebooks. I love the pocket sized ones, easy to bring around with you all the time, and they're durable enough to last being stuffed in your pocket all the time, which I think is important. The pocket was nice, before it fell apart on me (albiet, I abuse the shit out of notebooks). Notebooks are only good if you can have them with you all the time to take notes.

Lately, I haven't been using my moleskine as much, since I'm able to have my macbook around with me all the time and I can just take notes on the stickies widget on the mac dashboard.

But it's still great for those moments where I'm not able to have or use my macbook. I still have it with me most if not all of the time.

Alas, that brings me to my last point, moleskines, Target brand memo pads, whatever, it doesn't matter what you take notes and write your ideas down on so long as you do. Sometimes I take notes with a moleskine, sometimes it's on my computer, what matters is the content and keeping track of all of it. I'd be a huge mess if i didn't write everything down... When they say moleskine "it's known as the 'legendary notebook,' used by leonardo da vinci and other 'masters,' moleskine just happened to be the medium they used - what's important is that they wrote things down. Moleskine just happens to be a pretty good quality notebook!


Umm yeah this is probably my lengthiest and most informational post in months but that's because I think writing everything down is very important for an artist.
