[moleskine] ^{9:33 AM}

Mr. Mini-Moleskine has replaced my large and somewhat clumsy sketchbook (which is now full). I haven't had a Moleskine in a few years, but today while buying bits at the art store I rekindled my love on a much smaller scale.

As much as I enjoy the effort involved in doing larger and more intricate pieces, lil doodles have often provided me some of my fondest work. Like on all of the margins of my class lectures since I was like, 8. In fact, and I'm sure many of you don't know this, notebook paper has margins for the express purpose of doodling. It's true.

Obviously, it's not the size that matters. :P

Although, I am reminded of those long lost days of temp work where the absurdly large desk calendar suddenly became salvation while waiting on hold for accounting to get back to me with those numbers. June of '97 was quite the epic.

How funny that I just bought some of these (the lined version) for MY job.

It's true, margins are for doodling in. Do you think all those illuminated Medieval manuscripts were deliberately drawn all over? Of course not, the monks were so bored of being lectured on the merits of the proverbs of St. Jacob the Turgid that they doodled naked people, battle scenes and bizarre monsters all over the Holy texts they were copying.
