Notebooks

I seem to have less original ideas these days, but when I do have them, I want to save them and put them somewhere where I can easily access them again.
Ideally, I'd like to have an on-line storage of those ideas, but since I'm not always on-line (yes, I do live outside the 'net sometimes!) and sometimes I'd like to add a small sketch or something similar, I do tend to use old-fashioned pen-and-paper when I can.
Of course, loose pieces of paper or random notebooks get lost in the piles that surround my desk most of the time, so I decided to have something 'special'.
What I needed was a notebook that I could have with me most of the time but also with some quality and 'gravitas'. And to round it off, a good, sturdy pen.
It seems logical, but when I tried to get this kind of thing sorted previously, I invariably ended up with something the was either too large, too garish or somehow entirely unusable or unused. I needed something luxurious.
My final decision resulted in a large Moleskine plain notebook. No lines or grid to limit me, stylish exterior and expensive enough to satisfy my sense of propriety.
The pen of choice was one that I have used since secondary school. Parker pens used to be the ultimate in pens if you couldn't afford a Mont-Blanc pen (and who does?). I chose the brushed steel look for its excellent 'gripability' and the 'Jotter' style because it is the original Parker pen.

So, my medium has been chosen. Now all I have to do is lie back and wait for the muse to whisper in my ear...
