Stuff White People Like -

#122 Moleskine Notebooks

Best lines....

Thankfully, since white people only keep their most original and creative ideas in the Moleskine, many of them will only be required to purchase one per lifetime.

One of the strangest side effects has been the puzzling situation whereby a white person will sit in an independent coffee shop with a Moleskine notebook resting on top of a Apple laptop.  You might wonder why they need so many devices to write down thoughts?

So when you see a white person with one of these notebooks, you should always ask them about what sort of projects they are working on their free time.  But you should never ask to actually see the notebook lest you ask the question “how are you going to make a novel out of five phone numbers and a grocery list?”

This week in class, I really did pull out my black, unlined moleskine notebook to copy down a quote on the board - my students asked me about it - I bragged about how awesome they were.

Scary....sad....true....
