I feel silly blogging about this, but I have a serious notebook addiction which, of course comes along with pens! So, when I find a pen that rivals my Dr. Grip, I must share. Behold, the Papermate Apex (1.6 B). This pen is awesome! I prefer thicker lines when I write and I don't put much pressure on my pens, so I'm pretty picky. I also use a variety of paper and require a pen that works with most (if not all) paper stock. Check it out:

Weird Dreams: Civil Liberties and Greek Food?

I dream pretty much every night - always have. Last night's dream was pretty bizarre. I had to give a speech on civil liberties to a group of teenagers. Of all people, I couldn't for the life of me figure out why I would be the one to give a lecture on civil liberties. Further, I only found out the day of about the speech, so I was in panic mode trying to throw something together and alternately praying for something major to cause the cancellation of the program. Sure enough a tidal wave/major flood occurred. Problem solved.
The other part of the dream focused on food (not unusual for me; although my food dreams are generally limited to cookies and other sweets) - specifically, I tasted a Greek dish that consisted of ground beef and phyllo dough then spent the rest of the dream looking for more of the stuff. Only, I couldn't remember the name of it and thus never found more! VERY frustrating

Quick and Dirty Digital Collage (Today's Creative Exercise)
What happens to a dream deferred?
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
like a heavy load.
