[Pen/Pencil Review] Holidays on Mondays
So, two things have derailed today’s blog post: 1: My dear friend, Nora, is in town and staying with us through tonight, no we have spent the whole day poking through resale shops. So, tired, hungry, and probably playing one last round of Settlers of Catan: Cities and Knights. 2: MLK Day off — which […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] New Pen Outlet Discovered
I promise I’m going to get to ACTUAL pen reviews again soon, but I didn’t have a moment to spare today (much). But I’m getting a blog post in. Jimmy discovered – and enabled me again – a new pen and pencil outlet online – Tokyo Pen Shop. He discovered some Pentel 205s he didn’t […]
[Pen/Pencil Blog] New Year, New Sales, New Opportunities
Today is the holiday day off for New Year’s Day. I’m also recouperating from a long weekend at a convention. I did play with the Faber-Castell Grip Plus Ballpoint pen when one of my Sherpa inserts ran out of ink this weekend. I’ve also picked up a couple of other things during After Holiday Sales […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Christmas Haul
Just in case anyone was concerned… the pen blog is safe for a while. Thanks to wonderful people in my life who totally enable me. I still have to clean out the GIANT BOX OF PENS – which is part of the Grand Organizational Process of 2017. JetPens did an awesome black ink sampler… so […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] A 2016 Holiday Best of – Sort Of
As 2016 comes to a close, there’s still time for a couple more pen blogs. It’s been a hard year with loss and change and SO MUCH DRAMA causing some stutters along the way. Thanks for hanging with me as I muddled my way through the year and still sometimes stumble to get things done. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Baltimore Airport Stylus Pen – Black Ink
I had a lot of time to kill in the Baltimore airport a couple of weeks ago, so I did goofy shopping – some Christmas some not. One of the things I picked up was a Baltimore ballpoint & stylus pen in one of the gift shops – in green (the barrel, not the ink). […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] A Driveby Post from Maryland
As my social media followers know, I’m currently a long way from home. My Day Job has sent me to Maryland to do a week long training. My brain is full from today’s lectures and beginning exercises. It’s a solid day of SO MUCH INFORMATION. But it’s good. I am taking a class in Emmitsburg […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Sakura Grosso Ball Ballpoint Pen – 0.7 mm – Orange
Here we go. Pen review day. Woo hoo! Last one before Thanksgiving and doing a training week! Today’s pen was from my last order from JetPens. This is a Sakura Grosso Ballpoint Pen with orange accents and black ink. This is an interesting ballpoint pen. It’s a slightly wider than normal ballpoint that has a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The OHTO Sharp Pencil – Forest Green – 0.5mm
It’s no secret that I have a wide-ranging love all kinds of writing instruments (or this blog wouldn’t exist). And I go through cycles where I want to write with a certain KIND of instrument. Gel pen, fountain pen, pencil… But when it comes to pencils – it’s sometimes more difficult. Mechanical pencils give a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] G-Free Ballpoint Pen by Sailor – Mars
There’s one thing a writer needs to be able to do – write. Any time. Anywhere. At any angle. In any condition. I talked about the Power Tank a couple of weeks ago, now there’s another, Sailor has released an economical and convenient pressurized pen for “all-terrain†writing The G-Free. What’s kinda cool about these […]
