Another tidbit for using the MLT Notebook.

It felt like an early Christmas treat today surprise today. I received my MLT Tote Bag and more MLT Notebooks!
The MLT Tote bag is stylish and spacious, really nice to carry around some prized possessions. The zippered main compartment holds a lot, and the extra pocket compartment is really handy, with the long straps.
I don’t know if it was intentional, but it has a stylish cue of the MLT Hoodie. Love the way it looks, certainly no normal tote bag.

Hi JP
Speaking of silly country songs, this very silly one I’ve known since I was young, and I could call it a favourite silly song. It was a track on one of my dad’s old albums American folk songs, and I use to ask for him to put this one on. Here is a Blues Brother version. This version is missing the whip sound effects at the end. The original was better.

Thanks Leif. All the best to you this holiday season coming up. Beautiful card and poem.

It is interesting to see how they reconfigured the album artwork from the square space of the CD cover to the rectangular portrait configuration of the notebook. I hadn’t noticed but yeah, they did some creative reconfiguring. It’s actually nice to see two slightly different artwork versions in the CD cover and notebook. Yeah, there are some great fountain pen ink colours out there, like Diamine Oxblood, that is supposed to have the shade of dried blood. People like it, it is very popular. I have seen people who journal, that use different colour ink for each day, to contrast one day from another. Sometimes, alternating between just two pens with different ink colour works, like black ink one day, and red another. It is helpful in keeping each days thoughts and ideas separate and distinct and stand out. I find it even works using two different ink colour within the same day journal entry or a letter, to contrast out the body of the letter from closing thoughts for example. Or highlighting out the most important ideas from the rest. Doing different colors for each different MLT song I think would be great. Maybe even think of a particular color that might match the mood or feel of the song. I will have to put more thought into it.
In my later teens I abandoned cursive all together in favour of printing, because printing always seemed to look neater than my cursive. So through my adulthood, I pretty much lost cursive. About 10 years ago I picked up cursive again, just because flex writing with fountain pen works better in cursive than print. It took a couple years to get cursive back, and like you I stuttered in cursive, but after doing it again for a while, it has become more natural. There’s a lot written about the mental benefits of cursive with it’s smoother flowing nature of getting thoughts out over the more broken out form of printing.

Hi Dave,
I’m glad you like the Peter McKinnon video. It is really inspiring. Notebooks are for the creatives.

Hi Dave
Yeah I know what you mean about being a little afraid of wasting any of those precious MLT notebook pages. When I first got the notebooks, I really didn’t write anything in it for a couple weeks as I kept thinking what would be the best way to use these. I certainly don’t want to scribble just anything in these highly valuable pages. I think anything that will foster your imagination is what these notebooks are for.

Hi Chris. I was just drooling over that melted cheese plate. 😁

Hi Jurgen
The Christmas Markets in Europe look wonderful, make ours in NA pale in comparison I think. The one in Nuremburg you posted is listed as the best in Europe in Trip Advisor. The one in Vancouver is just an open square downtown blocked off with wooden fences and temporary Christmas decorated huts built up inside for the little shops and eateries. But the treats look delicious, and with the music and lights, doesn’t take long to feel the Christmas spirit.

Hi Roger,
For my Orange and Why album lyrics, I was thinking of doing each song in a different ink color. I would have to ink up more of my fountain pens with different colors. 😁 Writing my own reflections and feelings down in the notebook when I listen to an MLT song sounds like a great idea I didn’t think of, thanks. The intricate Duo Session II album artwork on the notebook cover also fosters a creative mind set.
BTW, have you noticed the hidden reference to the Orange album on the notebook cover?

Hey Jacki, thank you. I think the Writer Bundle will be perfect, and hope you get to do some creative poetry with it. Those MLT pens are great, and also use your purple Lamy fountain pen too for the colourful flourishes and illustrations, and let the thoughts flow like water. You so deserve all the wonderful MLT offerings. Have a groovy Friday, and will see you at the Livestream tonight. 😊

Hi Tim
What a great song from Olivia Newton John, and yeah that deep bass vocal really is unique and adds an effective contrast to Olivia’s vocals. Like Jacki, I remember Olivia growing up from her Grease days, a lot of big hits from those times. She was a superstar back then, both as an actress and singer. My favourite of hers, and a song that really shows what a great singer she was, is “I Honestly Love You”. “Have You Never Been Mellow” is another gem that comes to mind. Such a moving and stirring song. It’s sad she’s gone, how time has passed so quickly. Thanks for posting this.

“Head em up, move em out!”. Haven’t enjoyed an old black and white western classic in a long time. A young Clint Eastwood does a grand performance! The story of a cupids arrow striking a young man’s heart is timeless, even in the classic westerns.

That is the original version I remember JP: HAHAHA 👍😀 Thanks for posting the show, will have a watch. A couple hours north of where I am we have cattle country, and there are some small country highways around the ranches where it’s not uncommon to see cows grazing in the fields, and occasionally they are right down by the road and you have to slow down. It’s a beautiful area I enjoy exploring.
