[Pen/Pencil Review] Vacation Edition
I’m on vacation this week. Normally, this would be a Headless Chicken running around week, but with the pandemic and all events being canceled, it’s not. This week I should’ve been in an utter panic of finishing up plans for FenCon, but I’m not. I’m actually on vacation (the event may have been canceled by […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pilot G2 Target Exclusive Dark Set
I do love Pilot G2s. They were my first gel pen love, and I keep coming back to them. This set I found in the back to school sales at Target this week. They’re a Target exclusive set with some deep colors. So let’s get to it. These are the classic G2 with a clear […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Jinhao 993 Shark Fountain Pen – 2020 Additions
Two years ago, I bought a couple of shark-themed pens from Goulet Pen Company. They were fun, and each year, Goulet has a special for Shark Week. Last week was no exception – the Jinhao 993 Shark Fountain pen with an extra fine nib on a buy one get one free sale. This time around, […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Kaweco Frosted Sport – Lime – Medium Nib
As part of the iPenStore subscription, there was a Kaweco Frosted Sport fountain pen with a medium nib. I’ve always been interested these stubby little guys and always meant to get one SOMEDAY. Well, some day was with the subscription box. I hadn’t realized Kaweco was a German company, but that was a cool surprise. […]

[Pen/Pencil Review] A Lovely Trip to Graphite Pencil + Paper
Apologies for the late date – it’s been a weird week. This weekend we took a fully masked and socially distanced trip to McKinny to see our friends at Carpe Diem Comics and to make the trek over to Graphic Pencil + Paper. The Summer subscription box is in the mail – and apparently taking […]

I am still working out YouTube closed captions. So forgive me if that’s broken. Working on it. This is the summer Subscription Box from iPenStore.com
[Pen/Pencil Review] Rotring 600 Drafting Pencil 0.5mm
One of the things that I love about my marriage is that Jimmy lets me know about interesting pencils. This time it’s the new line of Rotring 600 drafting pencils. He was debating between the Madder Red and the Iron Blue – and showed me the dark Camouflage Green…and it had to be done. Rotring […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] BIC Gelocity Stick Pen – 10 count – 0.5mm
Today’s pen is something that caught my eye at Office Max (yes, I know) – the BIC Gelocity 0.5mm stick pens. It’s a fairly typical, disposable rollerball that came in a 10 pack with multiple colors. Since BIC tends toward the bolder point sizes, having a 0.5mm as an option meant I snatched it up. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Missing SoonerCon
This is a rerun because we should’ve been about to go to SoonerCon and this has been a super weird week. I miss my SoonerCon family. I wish them all well, and we’ll all be together again next year (I hope). This was last year – last year was an amazing SoonerCon – next year […]
