procrastination nation

I've been procrastinating all day. First it was having life changing convos with this incredible visarts major at some hole in wall pasta place in pb. Now it's looking up random stuff online. I'm in no state to take a midterm on tuesday, and I'm bordering that denial phase, so I'll blog about cool shit I've discovered instead.

Basically, kind of awesome. You get journals in the mail, put in your 2 cents, send em away to the next person. Generally get to keep the journal for a few weeks, and they have some pretty interesting topics. What's rad is you can start your own journals too, have them travel the world, and hopefully return to you. There's supposedly a few location based journals planted in certain coffee joints/public places that you can contribute to, but i haven't found any in CA.

The original 1000 journals project was made into a documentary/book (i remember reading about this at urban once, yes urban. i'll admit it), but the 1001 project is still open. Just have to register. Kind of your modern day, artsy fartsy, penpal shtick.
