My notebooks, Mycroft, and Moby-Dick

I love notebooks (and if you do too, you should check out Journaling Journeys).  So, shortly after Christmas, I went out and bought a new set of notebooks for school.  They *used* to look like this:

• Houndstooth - B&W and green.  Enough to make any Sherlockian jump up and down (they even have a jumbo "sleuthing" style one!). Loved the wide margins, too...I doodle constantly.
• Folders - You can't see them very well in this photo, but they're two-tone, plastic, "Oxford" folders by Mead.  The colors are so-so, but the folders are super durable.  They have some creases now, but no major wear-and-tear.  Love 'em.
• Floral - Has maps, flowers, patterns, and a lizard on it.  Sturdy and elegant spiral spine.  100% recycled, but nice lined paper.  It's my fave.
• Brown - This is the biggest notebook.  Tagline at the bottom:  "In another life, this was probably someone else's notebook" (or words to that effect).  The lined paper has a wearily recycled look about it...not cool.

Didn't have time for the sketchbook, but it's by Strathmore, like my large sketchbook.  The old-fashioned notebook is "Romantic Sensibility" by Paperblanks...Christmas present to self.  ;)  And I didn't get much use out of it, but the lime-green pencil sharpener is gorgeous, in its own way.  Unfortunately, I had to switch to mechanical pencils, as a time-saver.  :( 

 Now, "Mycroft" is what I dubbed my calculator, because it needed a name to distinguish itself from all of the other calculators on campus.  I'll bet nobody else aka the normal people has a calculator called that.  And Moby-Dick haunts my bookshelf...



It's true that Moby-Dick isn't very good at mathematics, or foreign languages, or anything of an academic nature...no, he lives in an interminable summer.  But that's fine with me...

School resumes next Monday.  :P
