How's Your Day? Archives

UNshaven!? oh dear. Hope things improve for you and fast!

 

which music?

 

After losing the battle to that dull S/E blade, I'm giving the neck a rest to let it heal. Though when my daughter kissed me goodnight she said, "Daddy, you need to shave."

 

Glad to hear it! Tired....but can't seem to get myself to bed....soon I think

 

yeahhhh I'm going to be heading that way too. I wanted to order some ink for my pen first. I got Noodler's Sequoia..a green/black color. I think I'll like it. Found a converter for my Parker FP so I get to use it in there too! Yayyyy

 

Classical, not that I mind it, its just not something that I listen to. Unless its this:

Thats really the only piece of classical that I have in my music library.

I just realized how incredibly annoying my new flashing avatar was, sorry to all. Back to Stevie.

 

I need to pick up some ink soon....I'm trying to find it locally, but I'm not having too much luck. There is a place downtown, but I hate going downtown and it's way out of my way as far as my commute goes....I've got one of those Reform pens on the way to me....

 

Nite folks!

 

G'nite.. Have a good one!

 

Yeah, that's a nice piece, too. I like most all music, and have quite a range of styles that I listen to. I really enjoy classical, but when people start talking concertos and allegros and numbers and conductors and symphonies I start to get cross-eyed. I'm not audiophile enough to keep track of all that stuff....

 

Good night Pam!

 

I haven't had much luck finding ink local. If I do find it, it's incredibly expensive for the volume sold. I just can't bring myself to spend almost double for less ink than I'm getting online.

And I hope that you, and everyone else who picked up the Reform, enjoy the pen. Mine writes very smooth and fills with no problems. I do wish the pen had a little more heft to it, but that's a very minor quibble on a great writing, low cost pen.

 

I'm sure its pretty easy to know what kind of music I like.

 

Well, if I don't, I'll hold you wholly responsible. :happy102

Here's the local joint for me: Bertram's Inkwell It seems well stocked, I guess, but I haven't price shopped yet. The Diamine ink that had been recommended is $13.50 for 80mL. And I'm not 100% sure that it's the same as the recommendation...it's just "Diamine Ink".....

 

Cow Bell?

What is SRV categorized as? Blues? Southern Rock? Were you the one that put up that Ori Brown link or something? That guy was good....

 

Dunno where I found the link, but I'll repost here regardless: 4 sample bottles of various inks for $5. http://www.peartreepens.com/Fountain-Pen-Ink-Samples-p/samp.htm I've been having a very hard time picking four inks. :happy102

And as nice as some classical music is, I'm on a serious Ween kick.

 

wow....Ween. Pushin up the daisys! Now I'm gonna have to go search them out...I had all but forgotten about them...

 

They get very regular play on all my music devices. Youtube has some really excellent live stuff too.

Stevie is usually considered Texas Blues.

Yep, I put the Oli Brown link up. Tremendous talent there. He didn't pick up a guitar until he was 12, was opening for Buddy Guy at 16, and recorded his first album at 18. He's young enough that my 2 boys like him too. They stream his album through their XBox while they play.

 

It's funny, blues is something I can really get into when I'm there at a live show. But I can't just put in a CD and listen for very long, I get bored with it.... maybe I just haven't found the right stuff.

I've actually been getting into bluegrass a lot lately....
