Spiral, with Lined Pages

Among the many stratagems I have for avoiding work - and there are too many to list here - perhaps my favorite meaningless pastime is shopping for journals. I love blank journals almost as much as those literary quarterlies I was gushing about earlier. The pristine journal is a kind of promise, a mortgage on future writing. If I'm bogged down in my own bullshit, and can't seem to get any decent ideas, I convince myself that what I need is a nice, clean journal to get my mojo going. There are so many cool ones out there - the hipster diaries they market to teenagers are my favorite, with their brash graphic designs that connote nothing but associative down-with-it, but there's also those amazing Moleskine books - shit, I have three of those sitting here at the minute. Then I like to go to Target and buy some of the stuff they market as back-to-school-with-cool. For a buck or two, I am styling for my stylus, big time.

They're all sitting here, neatly piled up, the spines uniform and flush. Maybe I should write something in them. Oh wait, Sportscenter's coming on....

So this seems to be the month of endless possibilities- finding the Dead sticker, and now poised in front of three moleskins. I await with baited breath what is yet to come!
