Animated Mike Tyson, really? But the one review I read was positive so who knows. Benched is worth at least a look to see if Eliza Coupe (Happy Endings) brings the right balance to attorney melt down. Enjoyed Mom and Elementary and ready to check out new sitcom McCarthys. And yes we are now officially another season behind on Runway.

my passion for paper

The search for the perfect notebook is like the search for the perfect black shoe, there’s always something new to look at and you really need more than one.

Not long ago we heard that San Francisco favorite Flax is moving from its current location. Now it is supposedly relocating but its current spot walking distance from my apartment and so it is often by default my office supply spot. And although it costs a ‘bit’ more there is something so delighting about finding a notebook that’s just a little something special. Following are a few that I’ve gravitated to. To check them all out view my board at pinterest.

Work staple

 

Home list must

 

For more special lists

 

Daily lists

 

Mini Pads always come in handy

 

Or a mini notebook

 

Browsing can always happen at Flax, Maido, or Patrick & Co. Where do you get the best office supplies and what’s your weakness?
