Comment on Journal Review: Revolver Bound Books by quinncreative

I love the journal because I can keep a to-do list as well as journal entries. I am a bit 3-D challenged and so have to fuss more than other people would. The paper is good for writing and sktechiing. It’s convenient to take along. There are many pluses to the journal and I’d encourage people to try it; but after I discovered the magnet problem I banned all magnets from my office. I’m not smart enough to keep a device on my desk but not in my bag. So the book is on the shelf, and wows visitors. And I use the to-do list aspect.

Ah, well. Thanks for the response. I was wondering if it kept being useful, or got annoying once the neatness of the gimmick had worn off. Maybe I’ll just have to try one out myself.

And yes, magnets are definitely bad for cards of any sort with magnetic strips on them. Wouldn’t know about the iPhone, although with the direction switching problem, I could see how a magnet would mess with the phones’ accelerometer… Having a look at the video, it looks like they’re using quite strong magnets, too.

I have always been fond of The Waste Land and Ash Wednesday. I have had a series of dreams where I do installation artwork of The Waste Land–one was a tapestry beading and another was a set of Tarot cards–both based on The Waste Land. Just a dream, but still . . .

Ah, so that WAS him about Hamlet! I can’t believe I remembered that. Anyway I dunno; my general impression of Eliot — such that I have one at all — is of a kind of a stick in the mud! At the time, mind you, I was way more into surrealists and the beats and Burroughs.

“found poetry” is such a great description. And we can get fully engaged when, as you say, we aren’t up for drawing or writing.

Good mission statement, that. Right to the point.

I agree that ‘we’re trying to make as much money as possible” is the best and most truthful mission statement their is. The rest of all that stuff sounds hollow. What does it mean to be “engaging you”?

Actually, he said it was an “artistic failure.” How can you call the man who wrote “Paterson Keep Your Pecker Up” a stick in the mud?

I didn’t know “found poetry” was even had a name until last week when I was “taught” the method at a workshop. I’ve been doing it for years when I couldn’t manage “real poetry” and love it. Pairing it with raw art is perfect, isn’t it? For those of us who sometimes get lost in the place where we feel we can neither draw nor write – no problems! A solution is right here! We can create using raw art/found poetry and come up with fantastic creations. Thanks for adding the art form to the words – this is a combination I will definitely do.

They’d be fun for your postcard project, too!

Laughing at Pete’s company’s values. The company that keeps my family in necessities has a six word mission statement which sums up their values. It reads: “Do good. Have fun. Make money.” That beats “engaging you” or “very human” any day.
