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 […]
[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 […]
