Remember the Seinfeld episode where Elaine had a limited supply of contraceptive sponges, and she had to judge whether or not her date was “Sponge Worthy”?

I was browsing through a writers store and came across a Rhodia Meeting Book; essentially it is an orange spiral-bound notebook with preprinted pages to capture meeting notes that costs $20 Dollars (yes I said TWENTY).

I love notebooks and I am always on the look out for cool new ones, so I didn’t even look at the price assuming it would be in the $8-12 range. When I brought it up to the counter and it was rung up, I did a double-take at the total, but I was too embarrassed to put my AMEX back in my pocket.  The store clerk noticed my flinch and gave me a holier than thou look, so I bought two (that taught him a lesson).

I am a little worried now that using this notebook might constrain my creativity. Every time I go to write something in it, will I stop and judge whether or not my thought at the moment is “Note Worthy”?  Only time will tell, but for safety I think I will slip a few pages of loose leaf paper in the back of the notebook, just in case.
