still evaluating

i’m still in my evaluation phase of a handful of different journals and paper types… in general, i think i’m a fan of most notebooks that have tomoe river paper, because it works so nicely with my fountain pens, but some specifics: - maruman mnemosyne spiral bound: i am using these in lined a4 or a5 format for my morning journals. good daily driver, bleeds a little if you’re overly aggressive. - apica premium CD: i am currently using one in memo size to jot down notes, ideas, and first drafts for a writing project i’m working on. i have a larger format that i’m planning to use for practicing drawing with fineliner pens, but i haven’t actually done that yet, so i’m not sure how well they go together. paper is SUPER silky and smooth, resistant to bleeding, but the smoothness makes it feels quite a bit different from most other kinds of paper. (ed. note: the above two were taken from Wirecutter’s article on the best notebooks and notepads) - traveler’s company: these are not really notebooks themselves, but sort of a system for customizing and evolving your own little custom notebook. you buy a leather cover, which comes with one notebook “refill,” and then you typically will either buy more to stuff in all at once, or to replace your refills as they fill up. it’s a very neat little way to have a nice notebook with some flexible paper choices and cute accessories! these use Midori MD paper, which is very solid, but there are a lot of different varieties you can get, so it’s worth exploring. i would argue the neatest thing about this choice is its modularity, which lets you e.g. explore Etsy listings for custom refills and accessories!

Only Listening to Classical music

I love Sufjan Stevens, Tori Amos, Mitski, the Carpenters, etc. a lot, but for about a week and a half a month, I’ll only listen to classical music. It’s like an acid peel for the soul, and I always feel refreshed afterwards. You have to be really making an effort to classicalmaxx as well & trade up your standard compilation choices for Lawes, Saariaho, Dutilleux, Lutyens, Gesualdo, etc.
