[Pen/Pencil Review] Dr. Grip Full Black – Revisit
I am going through all my pens, sorting by type and seeing which ones work, which ones don’t. I came back across the Pilot Dr. Grip Full Black. I looked back over my reviews and saw that I reviewed it in 2014. I am still disappointed that the Center of Gravity refills only come in […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Sharpie Color Burst Set
It’s been weird the last couple of weeks. We went on a little staycation. But I ended it by doing some preventative medical stuff – including (if you didn’t see it on Facebook) getting my flu shot and my shingles shot. At the same time. Yeah, don’t do that. Then I decided to get an […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Vacation Edition
I’m on vacation this week. Normally, this would be a Headless Chicken running around week, but with the pandemic and all events being canceled, it’s not.

[Pen/Pencil Review] Kaweco Frosted Sport – Lime – Medium Nib
As part of the iPenStore subscription, there was a Kaweco Frosted Sport fountain pen with a medium nib. I’ve always been interested these stubby little guys and always meant to get one SOMEDAY. Well, some day was with the subscription box. I hadn’t realized Kaweco was a German company, but that was a cool surprise. […]

[Pen/Pencil Review] A Lovely Trip to Graphite Pencil + Paper
Apologies for the late date – it’s been a weird week. This weekend we took a fully masked and socially distanced trip to McKinny to see our friends at Carpe Diem Comics and to make the trek over to Graphic Pencil + Paper. The Summer subscription box is in the mail – and apparently taking […]
