On the suggestion of Jockeys and Icedog, I went out and bought a small Moleskine journal at Barnes and Noble. It only cost me $10. At the moment, the only pen I use to write in it is a Zebra 301 rollerball, extra fine. I'm hoping to pick up a fine Lamy Safari shortly to replace the Zebra.

After having it about a week, I can say that I really enjoy it. I try to write in it every day, but some days I don't have anything to say. My goal is to write about the significant events of the day, anyone I meet (because I have a horrible name memory), and any thoughts/ideas I have during the day. This is all in hopes that I can look back and recapture whatever it was that was happening at the time. Who knows, maybe if I have kids, they'll be interested in it as well.

Anyone considering Moleskine should really check it out. I got the size between the pocket and the large size, and it fits into almost anything I could want. The quality of the book is very nice, and the elastic strap is convenient. It has a little pocket at the back, but I haven't decided what I should put in there, if anything.

If you keep a journal, what are your weapons of choice, and what do you prattle on about?
