[Pen/Pencil Review] BIC Star Wars Collection
Anyone who knows me knows I’m a Star Trek girl. I grew up on it. I learned storytelling from it. My first FanGirl crush was on DeForest Kelly as Dr. McCoy. BUT…BUT…I have a lot more Star Wars STUFF. I like Star Wars, I do. It’s mindblowing what it’s been able to accomplish and invent, […]
[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] Federal Reserve Bank Souvenirs
This is going to be a slapdash type of post. We starting to prep for ArmadilloCon. There are some other things happening this week that are occupying brain space. So it won’t be a “traditional” review post. But it’ll be something. 😎 I get to go and do weirdly random things in my Day Job. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot G2 PenStylus 0.7mm Black Ink
The Pilot G2 is a classic and has been go to ink. It’s a classic that’s been around for ages, so what else is there to say about it? They’ve changed – or decorated – barrels. They’ve played a bit with point sizes, but overall the Pilot G2 is a Pilot G2. But this time […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Hedgehog Pencil Sharper
This is going to be a completely ridiculous post because it’s been a rough weekend and challenging day thus far. We lost a good friend unexpectedly on Saturday. The world seems a bit dimmer without Casey Sledge in it. So, to try to return a bit of a smile and light – I give you […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel EnerGel Multi-Function Pen
Today’s pen blog is a multi-function pen. I don’t do these often, but this one caught my eye. It’s the Pentel EnerGel Multi-Function Pen from Tokyo Pen Shop. This is one of the Japanese offerings, not necessarily found in the US, except through online portals like Tokyo Pen Shop. This
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Platinum OLEeNU Green Mechanical Pencil – 0.5mm
Today’s blog is another version of mechanical pencil from Platinum. This is the Platinum OLEeNU Lead Breakage Prevention Mechanical Pencil Green Body. At first blush, this is a typical mechanical pencil like the transparent one I reviewed before. It has a clear barrel with a frosted rubber grip and accents. Its diameter is a comfortable […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Castell 9000 Perfect & National Handwriting Day
So I couldn’t do the WHOLE review in an image – but hey, National Handwriting Day! You need more info in a readable format. Also, as a long-time Phineas and Ferb fan and a SF geek, CASTELL 900 Perfect is an AWESOME name. The CASTELL 9000 Perfect cap is about 2.5″ long and comes with […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Oopsie
Yeah. There was ground. There was running. There is no blog. There’s a bit of a new normal at work. One in which I’m a busy little beaver. I’m going to be at my desk for a sum total of 2 days (this morning, tomorrow afternoon, and Thursday). So… I have to figure out scheduling […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] A Driveby Post from Maryland
As my social media followers know, I’m currently a long way from home. My Day Job has sent me to Maryland to do a week long training. My brain is full from today’s lectures and beginning exercises. It’s a solid day of SO MUCH INFORMATION. But it’s good. I am taking a class in Emmitsburg […]
