[Pen/Pencil Review] Reindeer Bird Christmas Ballpoint Pen
It’s not a holiday season without at least one funny novelty pen. This one was from the last trip to DAISO. It’s silly and fluffy and cheap. I had to have it. This is a fluffy brown, duck-billed, flamingo thing wearing reindeer antlers and a jingle bell ball point pen. The ink point is a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pilot Precise V5 Multi-Color 10-Pack
This is a day late because 1) Thanksgiving Week; 2) much work/life balancing; 3) we went to see Never Surrender: A Galaxy Quest Documentary last night. WORTH IT! So I’m doing a wee bit of revisit. This week is the the Pilot Precise V5 extra fine in ten colors – because COLORS. These are 0.5mm […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Yookers Yooth 549 Scarlet Red Refillable Fiber Tip Pen
This is the second pen I picked up in New Orleans. This one from Scriptura, which is more in the Garden District. Scriptura is more of a stationary/paper store with a few pens. I was going to pick something up anyway, but this week’s pen caught my eye near the register. This week’s pen is […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Graphite Pencil + Paper Store
I know this is a day late – Day Job has been a bear. So this will be quick. This past weekend, Jimmy wanted to do something different…spontaneous even. We headed up to McKinney, Texas, on Sunday afternoon. First we hit up our friends at Carpe Diem Comics, and did our part to make it […]
[Pen/Pencil Blog] The Diplomat Traveller Flame
I missed last week because of Day Job stuff, but it’s all starting to wind down a little bit, so here we are. This is one of the really cool pens I picked up in New Orleans a couple of weeks ago (though it feels like it was longer than that). This one was from […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] New Orleans Trip
I know I missed the story blog this week – good reason, we were on vacation in New Orleans. While there we hit two places that I’ve only heard about on Pen World Magazine – Papier & Plume and Scriptura. Papier Plume is a higher end pen store with some notebooks/stationary. Scriptura is a stationary […]
[Pen/Pencil Blog] Pre-Vacation Confessions
I didn’t really plan for this week’s pen blog. There are pens to review – and probably a couple more coming up – but…I have vacation brain. We’re about to take a short one and that’s my goal. Also, I’ve been con-cruddy ever since FenCon — upper respiratory. Maybe bad allergies. Maybe a virus. Recovering, […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Staples Tru Red Retractable 0.5mm Assorted Colors
Before FenCon, there was an unexpected trip to Staples – because it was a convenient side trip. I picked up a couple of things on sale. One was a 5-pack of their new line Tru Red ™ retractable gel pens. I had to try them, because I am me. I bought this package because I […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel PH 803 Super Multi 8
Today’s pen blog is a multi-function pen that Jimmy found for me somewhere in his quest for all thing Pentel P205. This is the Pentel PH 803 Super Multi 8 multi writing function instrument. That’s the only thing that I can call it. This is slightly different from other multi-functions. This one is a 2 […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot Opt – Stardust – 0.7mm ballpoint
We return to Pilot this week late, as seems usual for this time of year.. This is the Pilot Opt ballpoint pen with the Stardust body. This is just a darned cool looking pen. This is one of Pilot’s “fashion” ballpoint pen lines. The Stardust is a navy blue barrel with silver glitter for a […]
