The favor of the LORD is upon me. Check this out:
I went to the book store to buy a Moleskine planner. Last year my friend Jean gave me one and it was probably one of the most useful presents ever! Now that 2009 has come around, I needed to get a new one.
The problem is that Moleskine products are priced about 100 times more than they’re actually worth (sheets of paper). I was ready to shell out 12 or 15 bucks for one of those suckers. The price I’d pay for a little trendy organization.
The store that I went to didn’t seem to have the calendar version. They had Moleskine sketchbooks, music books, graphing paper, tour guides, wide ruled, and every imaginable version EXCEPT the daily planner/journal. What the junk, is what I thought.
Finally I found one; it was unwrapped and unlabeled and buried somewhere behind the rest. It was the only one I could find, so I took it to the register. “How much is this,” I asked.
The flaming dude behind the counter didn’t know, since it didn’t have a label or barcode. He said “It’s $7.50″ but I knew he was making that up because all the other ones were $10.95 or $12.95 or thereabouts. But I didn’t argue.
He punched in a few numbers, the serial number, maybe, and it came out to $3.75! Huh?!
Crool. This is the year.
