Once a Potterhead, always a Potterhead! ^^

 

 

Found this funny post on Twitter, should have kept a bigger space between the end of the message and the author.

Rohrer & Klingner Verdura.

(Paper is so-so quality Blasetti, that's why you don't see much shading).

I have a Pilot Falcon in my collection -- one of the more expensive pens I own. I think you will soon love your Falcon.

 

I find that some of the really cheap pens are great writers as well. On eBay, have acquired several Wing Sung 3008 pens from Shanghai. Very pretty pens and write very well indeed. I can hardly believe they only cost me a few dollars each.

 

Enjoy,

Yours,
Randal

From a person's actions, we may infer attitudes, beliefs, --- and values. We do not know these characteristics outright. The human dichotomies of trust and distrust, honor and duplicity, love and hate --- all depend on internal states we cannot directly experience. Isn't this what adds zest to our life?

Signor Umberto Eco, RIP... I'm so glad I got to see him and listen to one of his lectures during a conference. Great speaker.

 

 

Another quote from Middlemarch to commemorate my having finished the book!

I think I may have to try those Wing Sungs, I had a look and they are ridiculously cheap, with postage included. They look quite attractive too.

 

My Pilot Falcon isn't here yet. I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm going to get a card through the door telling me to pay VAT + administrative charges on the value of pen. That could be a very costly pen in the end! Bought from US...couldn't find an EF over here.

It's been fun finding this passage in an anthology where a good percentage of the words written are filler, empty, useless or too vague to make any meaning clear.

 

Faber-Castell Loom B (can't wait for the converter to arrive so I can try all the inks I have with this nib and see if there's one with which it won't hard start so often),

Pelikan 4001 Brilliant-Brown.

since we've just been treated to some Eric Arthur Blair - aka Orwell - there's no excuse for not adding a tad more ................ below are his rules for guidance to plain writing, and which he saw as our everyday need to foster language as an instrument for expressing, and not concealing, clear thought.

 

1. Never use a metaphor, simile or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.

 

2. Never use a long word when a short one will do.

 

3. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.

 

4. Never use the passive where you can use the accusative.

 

5. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent (I've let this stand in view of the fact that this thread is English language only).

 

6. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

 

Such a nice man :)

I love this passage because it shows plainly how Dorian's moral sense slithers out of the window into nothingness, or more precisely, is sucked into the portrait along with wounds and aging.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
