[Pen/Pencil Review] Uni-Ball Signo RT 1 Blue-Black 0.28
Welcome to the “Rhonda’s at a Conference†edition of this week’s pen blog. I will also be going on a brief road trip just as soon as I’m done with the conference. So this is going to be quick and in the blue family – because I’m in Florida, it’s going to be in the […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Sugar Skull Novelty Pen
This is a busy week, and Tuesday went whizzing by without me even THINKING about the blog. So, it seems like a good time for a novelty pen that I picked up at that impulsive trip to Daiso. Daiso is dangerous place. But it’s an awesome place to pick up weird things that are SUPER […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] UGH
So maybe changing the day was a bad idea. Guess what day went WOOSHING by yesterday? Also, I was in meetings ALL DAY (which messes with one’s sense of timing). Maybe not a BAD idea, but one that I have to be better about REMEMBERING and working on ahead of time. UGH.
[Pen/Pencil Review] Ohto Ray Flash Dry Pen
It’s no secret that I love Parker Pens – and their refills. Especially since they have gel pen refills for their classic styles. So, when Ohto put out their Flash Dry refills designed for their new Ohto Ray Flash Dry line, I had to try it. Not just is the Flash Dry refill a “Parker-style”, […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Jinhao 993 Shark Fountain Pen
I’d like to say that I don’t buy pens on a whim…but I can’t type that with a straight face and you won’t read it with one. Because we all totally know that isn’t true. This is one of them. Goulet Pen Company had a special for Shark Week last week – the Jinhao 993 […]
[Pen/Review] Possible Change of Day
I’ve been struggling with getting the pen blog done on Mondays lately. They keep getting filled up with STUFF – work, writing, gym, yoga. I am considering moving this blog to Tuesday just to give myself a buffer to get everything done. The blog will continue—in fact, I just ordered a couple of fun novelty […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot Kakuno Fountain Pen
This week, we take another look at fountain pens – specifically the Pilot Kakuno. The Kakuno is categorized by JetPens (and Pilot, I believe) as a “Beginner Fountain Pen”. And I rather agree with that. I got mine from JetPens but they’re also available at the Kinokuniya in Carrollton (so maybe they’re available at al […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Zebra Sarasa Mark On – 0.4mm Red Ink
This week’s pen review is a basic, workhorse type pen with some fun little details. It’s the Zebra Sarasa Mark On Gell Pen – in a 0.4mm point and red gel ink – because they’re good like that. I picked this one up on a JetPens in a impulse shopping order. The Sarasa Study has […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] SoonerCon Pen Acquisitions – VIDEO REVIEW
This weekend was SoonerCon, which is one of my most favorite conventions of all time. It’s run by great people who go out of their way to make sure it’s a well-rounded and fantastic event. They never disappoint. This is going to be unusual because it’s going to be mostly a VIDEO review. That’s right… […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] A Slight Confession of a Lost Cause
When I tell people that I do a pen review blog, the comments range from “That’s so COOL!” to “You talk about what? How often? Really?” The “why?” is implied. But I admit I have a borderline unhealthy love of office supplies and stationary. Heck, I’ve written more than one blog post and interview article […]
