You see, this is what makes you an interesting writer. I keep a small, leather-bound, hand-made Italian journal with a tiny little mechanical pencil in it. -Immediately, I am picturing a little, old italian man hammering out cow hide, stopping only to wipe the sweat from his craftsman's furrowed brow while he fashions what will eventually become kleinbl00's notebook.

"Rosa, fetch me the parchment, this one is nearly complete" He says as he reaches for his customary tumbler of Grappa, as is tradition each time he finishes a notebook equipped with his signature tiny mechanical pencil.

The tiny mechanical pencil was my own addition. The journal, on the other hand, was a gift from my sister, who picked it up in Florence. ;-)

The first quote in it is from a movie, actually:

A pig who doesn't fly is just an ordinary pig.
