There’s no reason for its Rotten Tomatoes score to be so low. It may not have satisfied fans of the game (I know nothing about it), but as a “normie” it was as entertaining as any other kinda dumb CG, action-fest movie. I’d put it on par with later Fast and Furious movies in the series.
Again, I think the worst recent movie I’ve seen in The Beekeeper, and somehow its Rotten Tomatoes score is high 70s. I’m gobsmacked.

2024-09-02 08:41:54

I don’t know why my post for the movie we just watched didn’t post… Maybe I forgot to hit send again. 😆

Ah, I just found that cleaning sheet when I was getting rid of the packaging for my Parallel pen. I’ll try it sometime. I think one of my thinner feeler gauge shim thingies would work in that case, also.

2024-09-01 04:14:09

Are Pilot CM nibs usually sort of dry? Mine is, and looking at the tines they are super tightly together at the tip. I tried flossing them with some feeler gauges but didn’t go too far with them since I didn’t want the nib to be too wet. As a result I didn’t do much of anything. 😛 Not sure of an easy way to loosen the tines, if it’s even possible. #FountainPens #Pilot

2024-08-30 21:10:32

Finally I’ve seen how the Nahvalur retractable works. Interesting. The pen seems pretty chonky! I’m tempted to pick one up since I like retractables, but I’ll think on it.

Well, the Platinum Blue-Black cartridge didn’t survive long in my new Preppy. I decided to refill the Preppy with one of my converters and Sailor Yurameku Date Gokoro. It looks great from this EF nib, still see the dual-shading effect and is way less boring and “weak marker-like” than the Platinum Blue-Black. 😅 I will clean out the cartridge and keep it around for future use. #FountainPens #inks

2024-08-29 22:59:55

I like the last 3 out of the 5 inks in this collection. Surprise, surprise, they're brown, a quirky swampy green-gray, and a transparent sea green-ish color.

Ha, that’s exactly what I did for two Preppies! 🤣 In my defense, I bought them when I just started out in this hobby, and they were the first two pens I used with bottled ink. My first two purchased pens were a Kaweco Sport and a Kaweco AL Sport, both of which I used with cartridges. Then I figured I wanted to try bottled ink and picked up the Preppies and converters. Heh.

Yeah, I figured these wouldn't come with the converter, but do they usually go ahead and install the cartridge? I'm wondering if maybe I picked out a tester pen (though it wasn't marked as such) because the ink is already flowing. For other pens, they include the cartridge in the barrel, but don't actually install it.

2024-08-29 01:51:20

I bought a Platinum Preppy with an EF nib (02) and it already had an ink cartridge installed. I didn't notice it when I bought it, but is this normal? The last time I bought a Preppy was online and I got a converter with it. I don't remember if it had a cartridge installed already.
Also, anyone know what kind of blue ink would be included with a Preppy? It looks decent enough. I'm not sure if it's a blue-black, but it isn't a regular bright blue like a Kon-Peki. #FountainPens #inks

Well, traveling around NorCal Bay Area still does not compare to traveling around the Chicago suburbs. We used to have to drive 20-ish minutes just to get to a highway, and then another 45-60 mins to get to downtown depending on traffic. When we first moved out here, we thought, "whoa all the suburbs around here are so close together!" But now the thought of driving from Sunnyvale to San Jose (not far at all, relative to Chicago distances) feels tiring. 🤦‍♀️ It is completely ridiculous.

But that meant that I only had the lobby, outside, and my car at my disposal for breaks. I am so tempted to get a hotel room next year just for the convenience of no commute and a place to actually crash and lay down away from the show floor area. But it seems stupid since I live close by. 🤦‍♀️

I wonder if the color chart on the back sort of spoils what inks are in the collection? 🤔 I suppose if they do, at least you can look at the color distribution and decide if it’s a good match with your preferences.

This year I want to focus on vintage pens, particularly picking up a Pelikan 140. I have been interested in it since seeing a few FP YTers talk about it. Also, I kind of want to get a Pelikan pen before the Pelikan Hub in September. 😅 I sadly don’t have a huge budget for the pen show this year, so focusing on vintage pens and getting fun inks may help me stick to the budget. 🤞

My first pen show was the SF one last year. It was overwhelming! I wrote a really long blog post about it on my old blog, but I think I’ll move it to my new blog since the SF show is coming up again soon. Ultimately I bought 2 pens and some other stuff. I’m only using one of the pens, a Skogsy Pens Cholla, regularly. The other, a Gravitas Pocket, looks nice but didn’t really gel when I tried to use it. I’ll revisit it later.

I love architect and “long blade” nibs since they make my block print writing look nice. I used to use stubs but 1.1-sized seem too large for my writing anymore. I have a fine stub that I got on a Pen Addict anniversary BENU Euphoria which I like, but larger than that is not my thing right now.
I’m open to specialty nib recommendations, especially as I’m hoping to get a couple pens ground at the SF pen show.

Has anyone tried these hybrid fountain pen/highlighters? I was tempted to get them for review purposes, but I’m trying to quell FP purchases ahead of the SF Pen Show. One of the nibs has a face similar to those on the Kakuno family pens, but the eyes and mouth are actually cut out of the nib instead of being engraved.

So if I buy an Explorer with a medium nib it’s going to be broad like the gold M? Or is the steel M slightly less broad? Your post about the gold FM implies a steel M is narrower.

2024-07-10 08:51:59

Are the Pilot medium nibs the same between the steel nib on something like the Explorer or Metropolitan and the gold medium nib on a Pilot E95s? I find the E95s medium nib to be ridiculously broad and wet (especially relative to a fine on a vintage Pilot Elite) and wondered if the steel nib medium might be less so? 🤔
