Black Cat/White Cat 2 pack Rollerball Pens
This is another purchase from the impulsive trip to Kinokuniya and Daiso in Carrollton. I WANT to call them the “Good Idea/Bad Idea” Cat pens… but being that they’re pens with cats on the cap? There’s probably no “good” idea there. But they do remind me of the cartoon angel/devil on the shoulders. Super adorable. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Sugar Skull Novelty Pen
This is a busy week, and Tuesday went whizzing by without me even THINKING about the blog. So, it seems like a good time for a novelty pen that I picked up at that impulsive trip to Daiso. Daiso is dangerous place. But it’s an awesome place to pick up weird things that are SUPER […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot Kakuno Fountain Pen
This week, we take another look at fountain pens – specifically the Pilot Kakuno. The Kakuno is categorized by JetPens (and Pilot, I believe) as a “Beginner Fountain Pen”. And I rather agree with that. I got mine from JetPens but they’re also available at the Kinokuniya in Carrollton (so maybe they’re available at al […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] SoonerCon Pen Acquisitions – VIDEO REVIEW
This weekend was SoonerCon, which is one of my most favorite conventions of all time. It’s run by great people who go out of their way to make sure it’s a well-rounded and fantastic event. They never disappoint. This is going to be unusual because it’s going to be mostly a VIDEO review. That’s right… […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Carpe Diem Comics Promotional Stylus Pen
This past weekend my friends, Lys and Shado Wiley, realized a dream. They opened a comic book shop in McKinney, Texas – Carpe Diem Comics*. While they were building, and now that the shop is open, they did an inexpensive gimme pen for promotional purposes. They are smart people who take note of what others […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pop! Bombshell Wonder Woman Novelty Ballpoint Pen
I don’t always go for the useful pens. Sometimes (when I’m wandering a comic book store) I go for pens that are just fun/silly/etc. Let’s face it, that’s most of the time. This one was an impulse buy at Ground Zero Comics in Tyler. It’s a pen from Pop! And it’s a tiny Bombshell Wonder […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Ancient Bog Oak Wood Skull Pen
So, let’s make a hard turn on pens. The last couple of weeks, I’ve done inexpensive novelty stuff. This is the other end (not as far as I COULD go, but still)… This past Saturday, Jimmy and I attended Art on the Greene by the Ballpark in Arlington (Globe Life Park – whatever) to visit […]
Rainbow Pom Pom Novelty Ballpoint Pen
Last week I put a photo on Facebook that got a lot of hits, but I haven’t done a review on it. It’s a Dollar Tree find that makes me happier than it should – it’s a furry, rainbow pom pom ballpoint pen. It’s totally ridiculous – which is what makes it wonderful. This pen […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Owl Stress Ball Novelty Rerun
Yeah, I know it’s early in the year to be doing a rerun… however, the big event I do for work is at the end of the week plus other random things that have to be done have me coming back to this pen. So now you get to revisit it, too. I hope one […]
