How's Your Day? Archives

Peaceful - reminds me of this piece:

How's your eye? My sources tell me you went to the doctor today.

 

Nice, but a little too mellow for my needs. I'm trying to get a little cleaning done (and you can see how successful I am by posting here), so something a little harder is on the Zune.

 

Yes I think it was an Eturia. it's a pretty stout/solid feeling pen, very nice nibs.
I don't have anything of that weight/balance, most my pens are pretty light.

of course Wmans, Mabie todd, swan, aiken lambert, some wahl-eversharps. and some no name brand pens had great flexy nibs, if you have antique stores just check them all out, push the nib back on your thumbnail to see if the tines spread.
The falcon is a semi flex at best. I have one too and it's a great pen but doesn't go for EF to BBB like some of the Wman wet noodles can.

 

I need to pay more attention in here. :ashamed001

I'm glad it's not running off on you.

You need to listen to the 4th movement of the symphony I posted. It's supposed to sound like a thunderstorm - it's pretty remarkable, actually. It's starts getting heavy about 30 seconds in:

I'm just itching to hold a Stipula. I've never seen one in person. The local pen store stopped carrying Stipulas many, many years ago.

Thanks for the tips. I'll be looking for a flexy Waterman, methinks. I wish I had some nice antique stores around here to scour, but unfortunately, the only ones I know of are in one of the posh neighborhoods and stock fancy/expensive merchandise that is priced extremely high.

 

Dom, I have an eagle brand FP that is a nice semi flex pen. I can send it or some other flexy pen to you to try out with the inks if you like
Stipula is re releasing the Saturno crecent filler later this year, but alas it's 450 dollars.

 

I'm in a rock/punk kinda mood.

 

Fair enough.

 

I'd really appreciate the loan of a semi flex or other flexy pen for me to try out. Send whatever you want. I'll be happy with whatever you choose.

Stop tempting me with Stipulas, Bong! I'll never (hopefully) buy one at the prices they sell for. I almost caved a while back when someone got me a special deal on a demonstrator Eturia. Unfortunately, it was still pricey and I didn't have the money to spare at the time.

Took a listen to it all the way through. Definitely not my cup of tea, but thanks for sharing. My music probably isn't your cup of tea either. Sugar and milk?

EDIT: Removed video as per Queen's request.

 

Have a nice evening, everyone.

Take care.

Goodnight, moon.

 

Not my usual cup, but I can appreciate. And I'll take a coffee, light and sweet.

 

Night dom

Good luck on the cleaning corey, gonna try to get some stuff done around the pad myself.

Goodnight JoAnna, don't work too late.

 

Good night Dom, Good night Bong.

 

And good morning me!

I'm at work, trying to stay awake, and watching some show with lions on Animal Planet.
Who says I can't multitask? :happy102

 

Morning Greg. Are you still on nights?

 

Always and for-frickin-ever.
One of these days I'll get fed up enough with it and work into a day position.

 

Boo to that mess. Nights are teh winz! I think if I worked days at my job, I'd got nuts. The day crew seems a little less... work motivated? I think their lax attitude and general laziness would drive me to madness.
