2009: A Style (Journal) Odyssey

So, I had problems getting to sleep last night. And I am not really sure why. I didn't get to some semblance of sleep until around 5:30 in the morning. So, during my time awake, I tired everything I could think of to get some sleep. Finally, I got up and read, then played on the Internet for a bit. I was also half-heartedly searching thru some papers, and came across a spare notebook.

So, I decided to start a style journal. That's right a style journal. I've been doing some basic home improvements around the parsonage. Nothing major, just some repainting, some minor redecorating. So I decided to write down stuff I like, design ideas, stuff like that. But it also will contain things like books I want to read or that get recommended to me, new music to check out, and a host of other things.

Another purpose of the journal is to eliminate the constant problem of trying to remember where I saw something when I want to purchase it at a later date, or simple refer back to it. This will certainly help.

Besides, I would like to own my own home at some point in my life. With the style journal, I will have a whole garden of ideas from which to draw.
