[Pen/Pencil Review] A Rerun and An Apology – The Rotring Rapid Pro
I apologize for doing another rerun. It’s been a crazy/weird Monday. I’ve had some brain burps from being out of town this weekend for our 5th Wedding Anniversary – then I discovered a scheduling snafu that has me all discombobulated. AND there’s really unstable weather playing tetherball with my head… all that adds up to […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The TomBow Airpress Ballpoint Pen 0.7mm – Green Body
I picked up a TomBow Airpress 0.7mm ballpoint pen from JetPens to give it a try. The selling point on this pen is to give it a run for the money to a Space Pen. It’s also a true (in my mind) medium point ballpoint pen – 0.7mm – which most pen companies have now […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Swingline SmartTouch Stapler and Swingline Premium Chisel Point Staples from Shoplet.Com
This will be a slightly different review. Shoplet.com has a program that lets office supply bloggers/reviewers get supplies from them in exchange for reviews. I thought I’d try it out. They do have guidelines for their reviews, so bear with me – that’s where it will be a bit different. Last Wednesday (2/1), after an […]
[From the Archive] Reviews: The Good, The Bad, and The Necessary
I’m actually getting this done before heading down to ConJour. Hope to see some of you there. _____ When it comes to writing and publishing no one can get by without reviews.

[Pen/Pencil Review] The UNI Jetstream Premier 1.0 mm Ballpoint
Last week we were graced with an Office Depot reward certificate, which meant I was given about $27 with which to buy some new writing instruments to review. I’m starting with a UNI-ball Jetstream Premier. The UNI Jetstream Premier is a retractable ballpoint 1.0 mm pen. It runs 5.5″ long with a slick clip and […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pilot FriXon Caused Me Friction
I’ve seen a lot of chatter on many of the pen blogs and sales sites on the awesomeness of the Pilot FriXon Erasable Gel Pen. A lot of people seem to really like this pen, and why not? It’s a gel pen that comes in a variety of colors – and now highlighters. It’s a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Sharpie Liquid Pencil
My friend, Meredith, asked me if I’ve reviewed the Sharpie Liquid Pencil yet. I haven’t, and in fact, I hadn’t used the Liquid Pencil in a while and had to go find it in my massive stash of pens and pencils – or, more accurately, I purloined my husband’s from his desk. We both played […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Zebra R-301 Rollerball Pen
The Zebra R-301 Arrow Tip rollerball pen was on sale at Office Depot this weekend, so I picked one up to try – needing something to review this week. I tagged along with my husband who needed adhesive dots for the FenCon Art Show packets (like I wouldn’t go to an office supply place – […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pilot HI-TEC-C Cavalier
My husband reminded me that I’ve never reviewed the Pilot HI-TEC-C Cavalier he gave me for some gift-giving holiday. He knows I like fine point rollerball pens – and the finer the point the better. The HI-TEC-C Cavalier is Pilot’s higher end, refillable “executive” HI-TEC-C pens. The HI-TEC-C Cavalier is 5.25″ capped and 5.75″ with […]
