i tried looking for blog entries (wlw and pdp) and ttf posts about journals, and i couldn't find any. i thought we discussed this.
what do you journal on?
i've tried moleskines, custom leather journals, book-bound blank sketchbooks, and more. i don't like any of them.
dp: what was that one journal you have that you can wrap around and fold back for easy writing? that's what i hate about those three listed above--i'm not able to fold back the pages easily.
here's what i want in my journal:
5x5 quad rule
able to fold back easily
sturdy, stain-resistant cover
around 60-120 pages
waterproof if possible

Unlined vellum paper bound in leather. \m/
I carry around a lined moleskine for when I feel like writing. I only journal anything like once every month or two though.
I bought moleskine's from vickerey store which I'm about to link but check out this other product rhodia pads stapled vellum paper!
i saw the rhodia notepads at a store a block from my house that i went to yesterday
kinda cool, but i really want a bound, non-perforated journal
phi_: any links for your journal? or a pic by yourself? ;)

larz: No. :( I've only written on vellum once and I've been searching for some more ever since.
i bought a miquelrius today. it's like 200 pages, though. :/ i wanted a slimmier one because i'll never use this one completely. but it was $10 at b&n.
phi_: want me to send you a rhodia pad? if so, let me know which you want. they are cheap and close to me!

I really want to integrate my journal and my datebook/planner. I don't know how though. suppose I could just use my moleskine.
larz: That'd rock. Any sized blank would be great.
you want one closer to 8.5x11 or a smaller one?
8.5x11 would be great.
(psssst, I get paid Monday, so you'll get your wallet soon.)

such bullshit! i think it has about 300 leaves, which is 600 pages.
i've written 186 pages in it (less than one-third filled) and the glue that binds the leaves to the spine is not gripping tight. some of the pages very easily peel from the spine. i think it's from folding it back to write so much.
i'm still gonna try to fill all 600 pages, though. :)

the spine on mine is still pretty good :D but then again i haven't had arduous nights under open skies
hahahaha
i just hit page 200--one of the craziest pages yet!
it took me 3.5 hours to write 14 pages today, and i'm only half-way done with documenting my weekend!

I really wanna start journaling some more. I want to start making note of revelatory or new thoughts that I have so I can refer back to them later.
ultimately, my goal is consolidate knowledge.

that should probably read "my goal is to." no matter.
fuck yes! that's what i'm about. reference and knowledge (and maybe wisdom?) consolidation.

i retired my 600 page miquelrius after 303 pages of writing.
i'm going to try to use a rhodia pad (a5 quad vellum, 21.3 lb).

whoa, awesome question that i missed before. i don't know--

lately I've been into the idea of being more reliant on my brain for knowledge storage than pieces of paper or text files.
so my rhodia pad got water damaged.
i'm weighing my options for journal media.
