Crazy Stuff from my notebooks: Post No. 1




It's hard to read my own handwriting and most of the insane scribbles are lost to me, but I love coming across things years later and wondering what in the world my idea was. What was I supposed to do with this stuff? What was I thinking?


Here are a few favorites from a blue Mead Composition book with teal, orange and white stripe, based on the boring food logs, not fully dated but with things like July 18 (Sunday, I think most of the entries are from 2004. But then again, I am filling in pages now in 2013, so I might have grabbed it on any day or year in between:

Stupid Elton John
"House of Celine Dion"
"Cheesy graphics video for Paul."

corkindills
gauntlet
disfigure myself
aspersion

mangy
