Always Anti-fascist!

Huh...in the taking a minute column...the second mystery project is 1600 words big today. Not all impressive like my spouse but nothing to be embarrassed about.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

erika! WOOT!

For heavens sake, don't make the mistake of thinking I write this fast usually. This one's different.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Fabulous, erika!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Lilty: go European notebooks. Choose European notebooks! They are funny sizes, and usually cross-ruled like lab books.

If you must go for notebook frippery, go for the leather notebook cover that people like Levenger sell. Key component: removable, so you can put it on different notebooks as the time goes by.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Cross ruled? Lab books? Please do explain!

I can't write on graph paper, my brain gets confused.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Yep, bringing a 'lil spiral then buying something pretty in Europe sounds like the way to go.

Oh, cool. Only our math books were graph paper. Well, not the fine graph -- .5cm increments, not 1mm. God, we had such paper rules in school. They controlled that more than the uniforms.

Who? moi??

I carry the little 3" x 5" notebooks for random thoughts, addresses of people I meet, records of how much a trinket cost (for customs), odds and ends. Also if I am traveling with someone and sharing expenses, how much each of has spent for dual things, like meals, lodging, etc.

These little memory joggers are wonderful years later. Also money conversions. I find out how much the currency is worth in my familiar money (dollars) so I can bargain or shop. On Oct 1, lordy knows what year, the British pound was worth 1.473 dollars. 35 pounds was $51.56.
