Chris Cobb, an artist based in San Francisco, has created an amazing installation in bookshop called Adobe Books- he catalogued every single one of the 20,000 books by color. The project is titled There is Nothing Wrong in This Whole Wide World. They were arranged by hand over a 10 hour period, and he enlisted the help of 16 volunteers. Such beautiful results, they transformed the bookshop overnight.

ois:   This is the waterpark at West Edmonton Mall. It looks very different now, but this is what the tube ride looked like when I was a kid. I went on those rides so many times in my childhood, I can still picture every turn and waterfall in my head. One time I got stuck and couldn’t get myself moving again and my family was swept onwards with the current and other people kept going past and none of the lifeguards were around to help me and I thought I was going to be stuck there forever. Tube rides still make me feel very anxious.

White Keds

I remember reading an article (in some women’s magazine, I think?) about a person who bought a new pair of white Keds every time they felt they needed a fresh start. I think I do the same thing with Moleskine journals.

I’ve been using Moleskines for nearly five years. I’ve used them as agendas, daily planners, travel planners, travel journals, sketchbooks, scrapbooks, pensieves, quote journals, reading journals, video planners, to-do lists, school notebooks, work notebooks… you name it.

But not once have I filled a Moleskine cover to cover.

There isn’t necessarily a problem in that. It’s remarkable how freeing and motivating it can be to start fresh with a new notebook. Yet I can’t help but feel some regret looking at all these half-filled journals. In each of these is a forgotten idea, an abandoned project, moments of losing motivation or losing myself.

I really don’t like New Year’s resolutions, but I’ll admit that I started a new Moleskine today and I’m quietly setting a goal to fill the whole book.

Do you do something when you need a fresh start?
