kiraboshi posted about illustrated paper journals and the diarist as a creative artist. It touched something in me, and I decided that it'd be cool to keep a proper creative journal, with little bits and pieces and drawings and stuff.
The problem is, I need a proper diary for that. I'm nowhere crazy enough to go for a Moleskine, but I'd like something solid-ish, with a stiff cover and hopefully able to open flat. Nice paper would be a plus.
In the biggest stationery shop I know, no luck. I'm going to check out the specialty shops, but the Project From Hell is taking up every hour of my time, and on top of that it's -20 C outside. I pull my hat down and my fur's collar up, and little icicles form on the fur before I've ventured a hundred metres from the house.
Which of course implies that all the time, I see things worth writing down and drawing.
Bloody typical.
