[Pen/Pencil Review] Another Repost – The Monteverde One Touch Ballpoint Pen
Sorry for another rerun… busy week ahead and behind. Trying to get something new in the bag for the next couple of weeks so we can get back on track. Until then…. Back in September of 2011, I hit up the Dallas Pen Show for a whopping two hours. I would’ve spent a lot more […]
[Pen/Pencil Review Post] A Rerun of the The Pelikan School Fountain Pen – Right Handed, Fine Point
Please forgive a rerun this week. It’s been a long weekend – ending with a trip the Vet ER for our dog who’s apparently allergic to bee stings. Who knew… I’ve had little sleep and am completely incoherent… So… a repeat. This week’s review is the Pelikan School Fountain Pen – fine point, right handed. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Year of the Dragon Sherpa Fountain Pen Insert
This is a quick and dirty pen blog – because it’s been that kind of Monday. It’s a follow up to the Sharpie Sherpa post – I did get the fountain pen insert from Paradise Pen Company. So I could use the Year of the Dragon Sherpa. I’m not as afraid of messing it up […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Happy New Year!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! (Eve) This week’s pen blog is taking one last holiday to say good bye to 2012 and welcome 2013. We will return to your previously scheduled review of pens, pencils – and other writing related instruments. Never fear there will be a lot of fun stuff coming in 2013… this photo is […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pen Post Takes a Holiday
Merry Christmas Eve, y’all. I’m taking the day off this week. I’ll return with more pen and pencil reviews next Monday. I hope you enjoy reading these – and/or get something out of it. I like playing with pens and sharing that with you. If there’s anything you’d like to see reviewed in 2013 (and […]
[Pen/Pencil Post] The Uni-ball Insight 0.7mm Black Ink
This week’s pen review – back to “real†pens. 😎 The Uni-ball Insight Fine Point 0.7mm black ink. I bought this pen in a multi-color pack of red, blue, and black at our Office Depot’s moving sale, I think. They are available at most office supply stores. And I don’t believe they were that expensive. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] A Glowing Skull Halloween Novelty Blue Ballpoint Pen
One last novelty pen for this Halloween season…yes, Book-A-Million was dangerous. This one is sillier. It lights up and has fiber optic “hair” – and it’s blue ballpoint pen. So I like the fact that this pen is also a “fine†point ball point – not more than 1.0mm. It’s not quite 8.5†long, which […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] A Halloween Broomstick Novelty Ballpoint Pen – black ink
This Halloween Season, I’m featuring a novelty pen I found at Walgreens. This one is a “Broom Penâ€. It’s a plastic body that looks like wood with the old fashioned broom end. It called to me from the seasonal aisle. This inexpensive pen is too much fun. For a ballpoint, it actually writes pretty well. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Dallas Pen Show Preview
I apologize in advance for this week’s set of blog posts – and probably next week’s. This is FenCon week and I’m up to my freshly waxed eyebrows in staff duties, last minute details, and getting stuff done. It’s a week of time management, panic-mode, and primal screams. Next week will be recovery, starting a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The UT Tyler Library Giveaway Ergonomic Retractable BallPoint Pen
This past weekend, I participated in The East Texas Book Festival. I’ll be talking more about that on Wednesday, but in the goodie bag they gave everyone was a promotional pen from the major sponsor, UT Tyler Library. I don’t even know what to call this thing to find it online. If anyone comes up […]
