Moleskine notebooks are all the rage with geeks and nerds around the world, so you know the Geek Girl had to get one, too! I picked up a black hardcover Moleskine notebook a week ago, and I have found some great uses for my Moleskine in my daily life. You can use these tips with a regular spiral bound notebook, but there’s something really special about a more expensive, durable notebook that doesn’t catch on clothes or bags and never seems to age.

Hey everybody! I know “Soulville” has been absent lately (school rocks!), but I wanted to share some public health info about swine flu with you. A lot of people are really freaking out, but at the moment we don’t know if it’s something to freak out about and freaking out won’t help anything anyway.

I watched House on Monday night, after a stupendous day (which I will blog about later). Kumar, the Indian doctor on the show, committed suicide, so the actor playing him would be free to go and work for the O-man (President Obama).

Prayer DOES work!
Religion is taboo in some circles, but not here at ultimate geek girl! Even girl geeks have to set aside some time to give thanks for their blessings and pray for good things to happen in the world!

How long does it take to pack one bedroom?
I’m moving next month, and as I keep looking around my bedroom in my apartment, I keep wondering, how long will it take to pack one bedroom? In the two years I’ve lived here, I’ve accumulated dozens of books, at least a dozen suits, 3 coats, all kinds of knickknacks and do-dads. And somehow, I’ve got to move all of this stuff quickly and efficiently.

Unclutterer says to try to get rid of things you don’t need or duplicates, so I’ve got to do that, then I can move to actually packing things I won’t need for the next month or so, such as winter clothes, most of my books and my decorative items.
8 Ways to Ring in Spring

Spring is here! I’m so excited. Spring is my favorite season of the year, with fall close behind. Here are some things to do as the season changes to get you together in multiple parts of your life.
1. Toss old clothes. During the winter you probably were thinking of all those clothes that are clogging up your closet OR that you have lost weight and need to get some new clothes OR you just need some new clothes OR you just have too much stuff you don’t use. Take this opportunity to toss things that are too big, way too small, not your style anymore, torn up, worn out, etc. This means clothes, shoes (sneakers should be changed every 6 months or more often anyway), hats, undies, socks, athletic gear, etc.
