[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel Kirari Brown Ink – Thanksgiving Rerun
Pulling a review from last year to run today because it’s Thanksgiving Week here – and the Nephew’s birthday (he turns 16 tomorrow – NOOOOOOO). So there’s been some moving pieces today, but I’m determined to get back to ducks in a row (instead of squirrels at a rave). Even though it’s a re-run, it […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel EnerGel RTX Sprinkles
This week’s pen review goes back to Pentel and another version of the Ener-Gel. This one is a 0.7mm retractable pastel polka dot EnerGel. It was at the register, and I am a sucke4 for those. This one is just cute and happy. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by this pen, I’ve mentioned my tendency for […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] I Found a New Store…
In continuing with a theme of “Rhonda is a pen addictâ€, I have too many pens but keep acquiring more – compounded with “Squirrel Brain†to some degree – it’s hard to focus when it’s 100+ degrees and you have intermittent houseguests. We love having houseguests but it does play a little havoc with trains […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel Superb Mini Ballpoint Pen – Blue
I’ve written about the RSVP fine point stick pens. They still remain among some of my all time favorites. Today, I’m focusing on a slightly different Pentel stick pen – the Superb MINI. This one is blue. This is an moderately inexpensive “everyday†pen. The pen is short – hence the “mini†aspect. It’s 4.6†[…]

Day Job is busy. My niece’s birthday is today. My birthday is Saturday – people are asking me what I want/want to, and I have no idea. ConDFW is this weekend. AND we’re redoing our living room – so CHAOS!!!! AND, BAD PEN WRITER, BAD… as I was starting to plan my Birthday Pilgrimage to […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] BIC 3 Color Pen Plus Pencil
I’ve been quite vocal about my love of fine point pens and pencil. I’m still NOT a fan of the default 1.0mm ballpoints and 0.7mm pencils are okay but… However… sometimes you gotta try stuff when it looks interesting. This
[Pen/Pencil Review] Parker Urban Rollerball
This one’s been a long time coming. I bought the Parker Urban in navy blue at Pen Place in Kansas City when we went in April for Spectrum. I did get this one on clearance, but it’s still really nice. The Urban rollerball is an elegant design with an ergonomic, bullet-shaped barrel – which means […]
[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 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 […]
