I would say I love Moleskine's design, but they need to hire a paper purchaser that understands the needs of fountain pen users - most of their paper ends up with bleedthrough....
Darn...I really would like to get what I have out. You still up for five minutes or so? I can come right over.
The bleedthrough thing brings me back to the Foray gelpens. These babies rock ... I will be buying more. I'm told that they don't bleed through Moleskine paper.
What do you think of Clairefontaine? And what's your favorite journalling notebook?
Yeah - come on over.... Yawn ;~O
I'd think something like that would be a good seller for folks who like to take something with them so they can draw wherever they go. A smaller, 5x7 version would be nice, too. She has a little spiral notebook that she takes when she has her YakPak mini with her, but it would be nice to bring along the paper that she likes to use for her drawing.
I've used gelpens with Moleskines...no problem. But it bugs me that I'm limited.
I adore Clairefontaine paper. Need to buy some more, actually - I use their plain paper for pretty much any letter writing or goofing around with pens or practicing. It's what I'm using for this calligraphy, as a matter of fact.
I think my ideal journal would be a Moleskine filled with Clairefontaine or Rhodia paper...though at this point, I believe they're one and the same - Clairefontaine and Rhodia, that is.
As it is, for journalling I kinda alternate between Moleskines and somethingelse. I've used Clairefontaine notebooks for journaling...also have used just Mead composition books, which actually have very nice paper, though I wish college ruled or graph ones were easier to find. I also like a lot of the record books you can get at office supply stores, but those can be very pricey, even compared to Moleskine style journals.
I'd love to have a really nice embossed leather one, just once, someday.
I ask because I met one at work --- a new employee. He and I compared the fine points of our daily pens.
Haven't met many others. But one of the Nano guys in Fort Collins had a nice older style Namiki Vanishing Point - I spotted it right off and we chatted a bit about pens throughout the month of November.
Got 'em!
Well, it's past my bedtime.
~sip~
Just got an email that my best friend (from college, also my best man)'s dad passed away in the night. He was 77 and had been ill for a while, so it's not a shock.
Scott and I toured together with the college ministry team. He was with me when I got the news about ~my~ dad.
I'm thinking weekend plans may have changed and I may be taking a trip to the other side of Pittsburgh this weekend. Need to get the details.
'Morning.
It's Friday!!
How's the sheetrock coming? :)
Sorry to hear about your friend's dad. May he rest in peace. OB & LSA
Toldja they'd be too busy to notice us ;-)
Yes it is - beautiful day, gypsygirl got a long walk this morning.
Been reading up on KS CCW; it appears that the application process starts 01-01-07 and approval can take 180 days, sigh. Reciprocity will be on a state-by-state basis, atty gen will need be sure the licensing is as stringent as KS. Looks like you have quite a bit of time to decide what you'll get for your permit. Sig? Glock? S&W? :-)
Let she who is without sin, cast the first stone...
I need to decide what kind of gun I want first! Should consult the T-shirt first. :)
Dunno if I want to go through all that registration stuff, though....it's not like I go a lot of places. I pretty much want to take it to the range, keep it around the house, and maybe carry it in the car.
I got some rocks if you need to borrow them...
I'm not casting stones, I'm saying I told you so. I think they have their priorities right.
That's awfully sweet of you.
