[Pen/Pencil Review] Missing SoonerCon
This is a rerun because we should’ve been about to go to SoonerCon and this has been a super weird week. I miss my SoonerCon family. I wish them all well, and we’ll all be together again next year (I hope). This was last year – last year was an amazing SoonerCon – next year […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot G2 Neon Fine Point
I definitely go in cycles with pens – whether it’s fountain, gel, ball point or even pencil. I even shift through brands – Zebra to Pentel to Pilot and beyond. Right now I’m in a Pilot G2 phase again. I’m also into colors. The brighter the better. There are many times I stick with classic […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Online Vision Magic Fountain Pen
A few weeks ago, I did the iPenStore subscription box unboxing. One of the pieces in the box was the Online Vision Magic Fountain pen. I have a couple of different Online fountain pens, and I like them. Apparently iPenStore is no longer carrying this pen, maybe that’s why it’s in the box? The Online […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot G2 – 0.7mm Purple Ink and Fashion Barrel
This week’s pen blog returns to a classic and an old favorite in a new skin – the Pilot G2. The Pilot G2 is hands down an icon in the gel pen world. It’s been THE gel pen for many people for…well, ever. And as much as I also love Pentel Energel and Zebra Sarasa […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] UGH…and Ugh
I felt like I was getting back on track – and apparently…I can only focus on one blog at a time? Or at least on one type of blog. One of the things I picked up again is a fun little Pilot G2 purple. Since I’m a bit limited on bandwidth right now – and […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] iPenStore.com Subscription Box Unboxing
For my birthday, Jimmy got me another subscription box (apparently these do come in one shots). I am not a great videographer, but hopefully you’ll find the unboxing fun. Enjoy! I’ll do actual reviews of the pens in the future.
[Pen/Pencil Blog] Zebra Sarasa Push Clip – Viridian Green – 0.3mm
This week’s pen review is a different color to a basic, workhorse type pen with some fun little details. It’s the Zebra Sarasa Clip – in a 0.3mm point with Viridian Green gel ink – because they’re good like that. I am amused by the name because not far from here is a planned community […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Of Sorts…Thoughts and Plans
I know I’ve been a bit AWOL on the pen blog. My Day Job is an “Essential Service” and our staff are essential employees. My brain is full of all things Day Job related — I’m starting to get through the first wave of utter exhaustion and starting to regain a bit of equilibrium. I […]
[Pen/Pencil Blog] Revisit (sort of) of the Pilot Hi-Tec-C Maica – 0.4mm
I bet you realized there hasn’t been a pen blog this week. You would be right. Day Job is eating my brain this week – along with the suddenly blooming ornamental pear trees and a bunch of other things. Hello, Spring. Nice to see you. Anyway, in the group of pens I got for Christmas […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Zebra Sarasa Grand – 0.7mm
This week’s pen review is another Zebra Sarasa. This one is the Grand in what Zebra calls navy blue, but I would call a dark teal. This is one of Zebra’s “business†class pens. This one I picked up at Office Max/Depot in Tyler, Texas as part of the birthday acquisitions. The Sarasa Grand has […]
