- mom: i think i want to paint the front doors of all the rental homes red.

nope. never get a person a huge blank notebook like this, especially at a dumb price like $65 because then what you are saying, the statement you are making is “i am going to rob you of a lifetime of the pleasure of buying new blank notebooks, plus i am going to make you feel guilty for wanting new notebooks (bc you will want new ones cause this one is dumb. and huge) because i spent so much money on this one here for you.” don’t do it. i do not care if you only intend for it to be used as like an heirloomy occasional scrapbooky thing that you keep in your study and take out on special occasions, because if ‘special occasions’ is the frequency that you will use it then you will have so many pages left over! this is the worst of things.

i remember first reading john hodgman’s list of 700 hobo names in the bookstore, and almost losing sphincter control, and then thinking up a little “brain to sphincter control do you read me” dialogue in my head, and then laughing at that, and then reading the rest of the list. so i just found that they got cartoonists to illustrate the hobos, which is ok but i just love rereading the names.
