02/12/2003 Archived Entry: "Nice Big Liralen Update"

Liralen updated, so that's good. Food, swimming, pens, son Jet, good reflections. Liralen has a clear personal voice: "I was thinking, pretty hard, about the Miguel Ruis journal I'd found at Barnes and Nobel and I wanted more of them. They're huge, but they're not only perfect for my personal journal, but also for all the things I do at work. I wanted more of them rather badly, and at only ten dollars a piece, it wasn't as if I would break the bank by getting more paper than I could possibly use in a decade or two. It's not like I stick with a single journal type for very long, either, though. I had spiral notebooks through high school and collage because that's what I could afford, after buying a dozen of them at a school supply sale, I went through all but two before finding the Clairefontain notebooks, then the whole Circa system, in slipped a few Levenger journals, and a couple hand-marbled journals from Anacortes. To get through two or even three 300 page journals would be more than I've done in quite a while. Still, I'll admit, I lusted after them."
