[Pen/Pencil Review] Staples House Brand Copper Ballpoint Stick Pen
Today’s pen is the Staples point of sale pen. I bought it was because it was pretty. It’s a copper colored metal stick ballpoint pen. I don’t know if it’s a Strata like the other Staples brand, but it is lovely. The Strata is 5.25″ long capped and about 6.25″ with the cap posted. It […]
[Pen/Pencil Blog] Wooden Pencil Parade
I obviously didn’t get a blog done yesterday. This year…wow, this year. I’m exhausted. I ended up working the Day Job last evening and just didn’t have it in me to make this happen. All of these are from Graphite Pencil + Paper – from two subscription boxes and our first trip out and about […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] RERUN – Fisher Space Pen Space Shuttle Edition
About a year ago, Jimmy and I took an extra day after Comicpalooza to visit Johnson Space Center. I bought a Fisher Space Pen – Space Shuttle Edition and reviewed it. Today was supposed to be a great space day – the first time since 2007 that astronauts were launched into space on American soil. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot G2 Neon Fine Point
I definitely go in cycles with pens – whether it’s fountain, gel, ball point or even pencil. I even shift through brands – Zebra to Pentel to Pilot and beyond. Right now I’m in a Pilot G2 phase again. I’m also into colors. The brighter the better. There are many times I stick with classic […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Graphite + Paper Subscription Box 2 Unboxing
Well, this was a surprise… Jimmy apparently DID get more than a single box from Graphite + Paper in McKinney, TX. This box came in this week along with our copy of Martha Wells’s Network Effect. If you haven’t read the Murderbot Diaries — go get those. And while you’re waiting to read them, enjoy […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Online Vision Magic Fountain Pen
A few weeks ago, I did the iPenStore subscription box unboxing. One of the pieces in the box was the Online Vision Magic Fountain pen. I have a couple of different Online fountain pens, and I like them. Apparently iPenStore is no longer carrying this pen, maybe that’s why it’s in the box? The Online […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot G2 – 0.7mm Purple Ink and Fashion Barrel
This week’s pen blog returns to a classic and an old favorite in a new skin – the Pilot G2. The Pilot G2 is hands down an icon in the gel pen world. It’s been THE gel pen for many people for…well, ever. And as much as I also love Pentel Energel and Zebra Sarasa […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] UGH…and Ugh
I felt like I was getting back on track – and apparently…I can only focus on one blog at a time? Or at least on one type of blog. One of the things I picked up again is a fun little Pilot G2 purple. Since I’m a bit limited on bandwidth right now – and […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] iPenStore.com Subscription Box Unboxing
For my birthday, Jimmy got me another subscription box (apparently these do come in one shots). I am not a great videographer, but hopefully you’ll find the unboxing fun. Enjoy! I’ll do actual reviews of the pens in the future.
