Rambling Monday

I started my first day of summer school today. So given that, I start a new notebook, but I hate wasting notebooks. I define wasting as not finishing up at least 90% of the notebook. I also hate it when the corner of the pages near the spiral break or spin out. So I took matters into my own hands when I didn't feel like reading/studying.

This is what I mean when I say "the pages near the spiral break or spin out."

You might not be able to tell, but I only used about half of this notebook.

To fix this, you will need:

• notebook
• pliers
  

I wish I took pictures of the process. I didn't think I'd blog today, but I am here blogging away since I do not want to study. Boy, I am going to regret this later.

This is the results.

hmm, does anyone know why this picture flipped sideways?

I hope these instructions make sense. If it doesn't, feel free to ask for clarification. I can always redo the process with another notebook.

1. Use your pliers to try to semi-straighten out the end of the metal spiral (I do not suggest doing this for plastic spiral notebooks). It doesn't have to be perfectly straight.
   
2. Bend the metal toward the previous circle spiral
   
3. Make the spiral hook around the spiral before/after it.
4. Done! A notebook that will not spin out of control.
   

So over the weekend, I was craving this bar of chocolate.

This is what happened to it when I left it in the car for 1-2 hours on a cold, foggy, and semi-windy day in San Francisco.

hmm, does anyone know why this picture flipped sideways?

Also check out blah to Tada!, Claire's blog. She knows what to do with dryer lint. Yes, the fuzzy stuff you throw away from the dryer. She also made some cool covers for "blah" boxes.

Happy Blogging! This month is going to be a sluggishy blogging month for me. One month of intease, kick-ass summer course. I am going to go study now. I think...I hope - okay I will!
