vive la france!

i have found it: the perfect little annal, chronicle keeper, memoir holder and i have found it at B&N, whom I usually loathe for their extensive selection of mundane, done-before, and ho-hum journals. but today i owe them an apology because this little number (purchased only online) is perfectly worn-in, as if it has already spent countless hours traveling with me, with beautifully inky pages, and the perfect new old book smell. i must now seek out a lovely ink pot and quill to go with it and then maybe i will sit down and write a few letters to my josephine. and though i would not say i am a fan of the little tyrant himself, i do have to admit that the man had style- that little military jacket? the shiny gold buttons? all perfection. and i will bequeath that respect onto my little yellow number as well.
