Notebook

I've been keeping a little notebook with me to jot down ideas, to-do lists, clever turns of phrase, band names, scenes for SNL (or a movie), girls I want to sleep with, important formulas, reader stats, theories on effective communication, galaxies I'd like to teleport to, soliloquies, and the like. It's not quite the same as blogging but it provides a similar release, and I find myself less inclined to type stuff here.

I was reading, or trying to interpret the scratchings within, the notebook on the bus on the way home today being careful not to let any of the other kids see what I was looking at. It's funny what you sometimes don't remember writing. Actually, the last post on this blog was put up in a drunken haze; I was surprised to find the entry the next morning, but the words and voice sounded somehow familiar. Especially strange considering I had to deal with the photo; I was pretty plowed, I guess.

Anyway, the notebook had lots of randomness, but it reminded me I'd be better off writing longer sentences on a typewriter than in long hand.
