A list of things I use my Moleskine for
I pretty much use mine in an addicted way like a daily log/diary with
lots of photos recording events in my life. I lead a busy life so
pages fill pretty quickly. I average 1 Moleskine lined large notebook
per 3 months or less. I put entertainment, sport event tickets I
attend, photos, autographs of famous people I encounter, books I read
etc.
I also have a pocket Moleskine I enter memorable astronomical
viewings, comets, eclipses, observations of the deep sky objects
through telescopes of others etc.
I then have another pocket Moleskine on the go to record information I
may refer later. Quotes or good lines I hear or read I may use in my
conversations.
Then of course i have my reliable Moleskine Agenda. This year i used
the Red one with the flexible red note book and phone book 3 in 1. I
found it great but little too bulky for the front shirt pocket so for
2009 I got the Black agenda with phone book, little thinner.
I also have and love my New York City Book. I've been to new York 9
times last year. It has been an unseparable companion. It is
functional and very cool. I wish though you could buy the clear
acetate self sticky sheets you put over the maps separately. Once you
run out of them that's it. You then start writing on the actual maps
and it eventually creates a mess.
The manufacturer also listened to my only complaint that was the very
light and hard to read type face on the agendas. 2009 they have
corrected this problem and now the dates are very easy to read.
Be well my Moleskine addict friends.

One of the first steps to take in getting a handle on your budget is to
start tracking your spending, and for those who like to do it analog,
moleskine small ruled notebooks ($10.50) are awesome.

Being
social animals, human beings tend to allow their better judgement to be
stampeded by the crowd's impulses. This applies not only to the
followers of trends, but their critics: the bigger the icon, the bigger
the kudos accorded those who accomplish its takedown.This is only aided
by the ephemeral nature of popularity: both sides to laud–or
criticise–things based on their aura rather than the true nature of the
thing itself.

"The impulse to keep a diary is to actual diaries as the impulse to go
on a diet is to actual slimness. Most of us do wish that we were slim
diarists. It’s not that we imagine that we would be happier if we kept
a diary; we imagine that we would be better—that diarizing is a
natural, healthy thing, a sign of vigor and purpose, a statement, about
life, that we care, and that non-diarizing or, worse, failed
diarizing is a confession of moral inertia, an acknowledgment, even, of
the ultimate pointlessness of one’s being in the world. Still,
rationally considered, what is natural or healthy about writing down
what happened every day in a book that no one else is supposed to read?
Isn’t there something a little O.C.D. about this kind of behavior?
Writing is onerous (especially with an ultra-thin pencil)—writing feels
like work because it is work—and, day by day, life is pretty
routine, repetitive, and, we should face it, boring. So why do a few
keep diaries, when diary-keeping is, for many, too much?..."
