View showing the colors that I have. Very nice and understated colors. The fronts have this wonderful filigree like name-plate that says: "Notebook, Most advanced quality, Gives best writing features." No crazy Hello-Kitty or Pandas here... just a nice classic style.
I bought this clear pouch and the polka dot one at the dollar store, and they were $1 for the pair. Then I just punched them to fit my book.
I recycled this notebook out of an old, sadly but true, not so good to read novel. Now it has a new life as a beautifully flowered notebook!
"Si, él en más de una oportunidad deseó que los sueños fuesen realidad, pues ella ya no vive en este mundo, y solo te encuentra entre sueños. Solo una cosa él le pidió a Dios, que ella jamas se enamorase tan a ciegas como lo hizo él, él quien lo dió todo, entregó todo, y ahora que ella ya no está, ya nada tiene, y sufre el efecto de un adios improvisado, sufre porque ella ya no está aqui, sufre... sufre en cada suspiro, sufre porque nunca jamas volverá. A ciegas y a oscuras él se inclinó, y en un mar de mil y un recuerdos él se undió."

Each day, I get a little better. I cough a little less and I feel less sore. I can feel my body healing and I'm managing to ween myself off of medication. It's difficult to go outside so I'm staying indoors and resting.
This morning, I laid in bed and read Paul Auster's The Red Notebook. I love Paul Auster and this was the perfect book for my friend Herb in NYC to send me a few weeks ago. It's full of stories of life's coincidences that happen between New York and Paris. In each life, there are so many things that add up which can't really be summed up...things that seem so random and things that make us who we are. I really enjoyed reading about Auster's life experiences.
I wish I could photograph him.
In November of 1993, my work was getting ahead of me and so I decided for the first time to record everything in notebooks (before that I used Day-timers). In the UK they had these nicely bound blank books call Black n' Red, and I bought the A5 size (210 x 148 mm), which is a very handy form factor to take with you everywhere. Since then, I have continued to use bound books of one design or another for taking and keeping notes.
I write everything in my notebooks, meeting notes, phone numbers, to-do lists, part dimensions, phone messages, addresses, etc. Everything that might ordinarily get scribbled on a piece of scrap paper goes into the notebook instead. That way you never lose anything you wrote down, it's always available (though it often takes a fair bit of digging around to find it).
I used A5 Black n' Red and OSTAline notebooks until I moved back to the US, where they were no longer available. Then in June 1996, while I was working at Cisco Systems, I started using cardboard composition books.
After I left Cisco in 1999 I used a couple of A4 sized blank books (not shown), but then by September 2001 I had procured another Black n' Red book and used it until August 2005 (the time I was taking in getting my current company started). After going through a couple of no-name A5 blank books I found in France in 2003, I was finally able to source a handful of Black n' Red books here in the US, through an internet supplier. Google tells me they are now widely distributed in the US.
Shots of my planner for my blog and all crafty things for this year! part of an old notebook I am determined to fill up this year.
January 24th - Saturday. Second day of strategy residential. It was a very good meeting although I was pretty exhausted afterwards.
Not too tired though to celebrate Burns Night. I had haggis and drank scotch and attempted to read some Burns and toast the haggis. Not everyone joined in!
Reasons to be cheerful
1. My first whisky session in at least 9 months. Nice.
2. Haggis.
3. Successful 2 day meeting.
Then insert this Notebook 3 and 4 duo underneath the first two notebooks, i.e. between the cover and Notebook 1 and 2.
