>Quote from New Yorker:
>Like many comedians, Larry David carries a pocket
notebook for writing down ideas. "You're in a parking garage, and
Larry’s wallet is empty--he forgot to ask his assistant to go to the
cash machine," [Robert] Weide, who directs several episodes a year,
says. "So he says, 'Shit, I have no money for the valet--could you give
me a few bucks?' So you find yourself giving money to Larry David, who
has a few bucks. And then out comes the little notebook."
> "What would I have done if he hadn’t been there?"
David said. "That could have been funny."
> The notebook is a ratty brown thing that looks as
if it might have cost forty-nine cents at a stationery store. Its pages
are covered with David’s illegible scrawl.
>Endquote
>Ratty?
I think not. The notebook, as seen in Curb Your Enthusiasm, seems to be
a Boorum memo book, made by Esselte Pendaflex. The photograph above is
of one of mine ($1.55 whenever I bought it, not all that long ago). Sad
to say, I can't find one reference to this well-made item online. Has it
become, like the Blackwing pencil, a part of the past? |
