[Pen/Pencil Review] RERUN – Boxing Reindeer Ball Point Pen
I’m doing a repeat post a day late because I had my annual eye doctor check up yesterday and had the REALLY GOOD pupil dilation drops. And I’m adjusting to a whole new contact lens – a bifocal contact lens. Trippy. Reading/writing last night DID NOT HAPPEN. 😎 So.. Day late… _____ It’s not a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] TUL Rectractable Pen – 0.5mm Red & Green Ink
Okay, so I know Office Max and Office Depot are technically the same thing, but I still think of them separately. Though, it’s getting harder. There’s one line that still exists in the Office Max Universe – the TUL pen line. Which makes me happy this holiday season, because I like their 0.5mm retractable pens. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] A Thanksgiving Rerun
Yeah, sorry about this… but so much to do in the next few days I had to give one thing up. So enjoy this post from 2014. And hey, BROWN INK in the theme for Thanksgiving! So enjoy! —- I don’t know why some Mondays are a bigger struggle than others, but they are. This […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel Orenz 0.2mm Mechanical Pencil
I still have a few things from a past JetPens order that I haven’t reviewed yet. This mechanical pencil is one of those – the Pentel Orenz. The Orenz comes in a 0.2mm lead – so I had to try it… Apparently I have a “sweet spot” when it comes to fine points – it’s […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] ONLINE Switch Fountain Pen with Stylus
This week’s pen is an interesting combination of Old School and New School – it’s the Online Switch Fountain Pen with Stylus that I picked up at Paradise Pen Company this past weekend. The Online brand is out of Germany and makes pretty nice modern fountain pen. This is no exception. The Switch is part […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Faber-Castell Perfect Pencil
Okay, so I’m just going to go ahead and do my second Faber-Castell review from the Dallas Pen Show and just get it out of my system. Why? It’s something I never knew I needed, wanted, or would be one of those things that make me go “DUDE!” I’m talking about the Faber-Castell Perfect Pencil. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Faber-Castell N’Ice Ballpoint Pen
I’m just going to hope this review is somewhat coherent. Just back from Rose City Comic Con, and I’m wiped. This week I show you the pen I picked up from the Dallas Pen Show, basically because it’s the first one I picked up. I bring you the Faber-Castell N’Ice Ballpoint pen. I bought it […]
Kokuyo Beetle Tip Dual Color Highlighter – Light Green / Purple
Welcome to Monday and blog post day. I totally bailed on last Wednesday. I’m staring down the barrel of another convention – this one being a comic book convention in Tyler – there’s been a great many things going on. But… it’s Monday. This week is a newish thing… Kokuyo Beetle Tip dual tip highlighter […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Dallas Pen Show, FenCon, & Recovery
It’s Pen Post Monday and a full week past FenCon. Time to get all the stuff back on track. Which is more difficult when the dogs are simply extruding “Nap Vibes”…and I had some FenCon close out stuff to do – and laundry (there’s always laundry). Ah, the glamorous life of a writer/blogger… I managed […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The PaperMate SharpWriter – 0.7mm
This is going to be quick and dirty because it’s FenCon week – and time is of the essence. This week we look at a classic mechanical pencil in fun colors – the PaperMate Sharpwriter. This pencil has been around for decades – I did try to find out how long, but couldn’t quite narrow […]
