Angelina Jolie confirmed the rumors she is pregnant with twins on the Today show, where she was plugging the movie Kung Fu Panda. None of her previous opportunities to speak out on the matter provided equivalent gravitas.— Gawker
P.S. Boy #1 has a silly tattoo of a musical note on his back, and may also show you his recording studio, but the motherfucker hasn’t played a show in at least a year. Stay on your toes.— Anostrophe: beware what people do not say … (from a blog of open/anonymous letters)
Here are my Maruman notebooks in wide and college rule. They’re A4 for more room, a size that fits an average laptop bag. Plus if you get off on adhering to non-US standards, there you go.
Every page tears out, so when I rewrite something I can trash the old draft. That way when I’m at the end of a notebook I’m not leafing through all my old stuff in case I forgot to transcribe something. Without scrapping my old stuff, I wouldn’t have written half the things I’ve put in these notebooks. Save the curation of your past for your fans.
In San Francisco, you can get these notebooks at the fourth-floor Mai Do stationery store in the Westfield Mall. The store sells lots of Japanese trinkets; when I picked up four Marumans yesterday I grabbed some incense, chopsticks and tiny origami paper (because holy hell it was under two bucks for 500 sheets and I could make enough itty-bitty cranes to get me halfway to a wish).
I just loved notebooks so much I would often want a new one just for the feel of it, whether or not I really needed any more space to write things down. I was always looking for one that would be a little closer to being THE PERFECT NOTEBOOK, my definition of which shifted over time.—

I used to do that too. I settled on Moleskines for a while, but they were too nice and often too small or bulky. I needed something spacious that would lie flat on the table, not a pretty toy so everyone in the cafe knew I was an artistic genius (that is what my Mac is for). I’ve found the perfect notebook for writing my scripts and other prose at tables and desks. It’s a spiral notebook from a Japanese company called Maruman. I can’t find it in their catalog but I’ll take a picture for you.
Answer: In South Dakota and many other states, no. In Florida, California, Texas, Tennessee, Ohio, and West Virginia, yes by law. In many states, no because the voter rolls aren’t updated often enough to follow state law.
Not that it matters for Clinton, but at least it’ll be a punchline if McCain wins by a nose.
