Bored, I must be blogging…
I am bored this evening. I’ve written some poetry about the setting sun. I should read some poetry to inspire myself in this artform.
Anyway, I’ve been on the fountain pen forums, namely foutainpennetwork, and just fantasizing about pens I can’t afford. There are a couple of ‘fantasy’ pens, a couple of ‘nice’ pens, and some ‘I can afford this’ pens too.
Fantasy pens include a Namiki Bamboo, but at £169, it’s not cheap. The other is a Nakaya Urushi Cigar Piccolo, an awesome pen of beauty, but that’s in the range of $3-400. The problem is, even though these are luxury pens, I would write with them every day.
Nice pens include the Lamy 2000. Nice designer style pen.
‘I can afford them’ pens are mainly Rotring Core’s (I love the Rotring’s, but I only have a rollerball), and Tombow Objects, in almost all the colours. I wouldn’t mind one of the modern Parker 45’s.
So there we go. I’m a pen addict too. I love to journal, and I guess blogging is another variant of the blog. But I will journal more personal things than what I blog, and keep the blog to the varying things that make my life interesting. Plus providing links to all the tech stuff I learn too.
