  1. I got to find out something about the Fisher Space Pen the other day I didn't know before.

    I've seen people write with these under water, and the ink seems to perform pretty well. It didn't bleed or act abnormally.

    But the other day, I was out doing some stuff on my scooter and got completely soaked, Just about every part of me got soaked right to the skin, including the little notebook that I had with me that I'd written my grocery list on.

    That list was written with my Space Pen, and I can say that on cheap paper, it will bleed if the paper is soaked. You don't see this in the demos, but it does happen. It will bleed through cheap paper, and off of it onto other things. (Fortunately in my case, just the back of the cover and not my shirt!)

    It was still legible, but as a word to the wise, if you use cheap paper that acts like a sponge when it gets wet, Space Pen ink will bleed and come off just like any other, especially if it's freshly written. My notebook got soaked within about 20 minutes of my writing in it.

  3. Today in brinelicious #stationary supplies, Tom's Studio has made a second round of Pickle Pens and is giving the US timezone folks a chance at them this time (last time they went on sale at 3am my time and were gone by 5am my time).

    They just sent an email about pre-orders for the second round, I grabbed one (and am having it engraved with the first truly terrible pun that came to mind)

  5. Oh hell yeah, my step mom offered to get me like 30-40 bucks worth of school supplies to celebrate the end of my first term with grades about as high as they possibly can be (my lowest right now is a 98). Gonna spend the #NASCAR race browsing Amazon for exclusively pens cause I go through them fast which is always the downside to preferring bold gel ink.

  9. Only four NHL teams in league history have come back from a three to zero game deficit to win the playoff series.

    The 1942 Maple Leafs did so, defeating the Red Wings to win the Cup. This is the only "reverse sweep" to occur in the Stanley Final.

    The 1975 NY Islanders dynasty did it in the Quarter-Final round against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

    The 2010 Philadelphia Flyers came back from 3-0 to eliminate the Boston Bruins in the Semi-Finals.

    The 2014 LA Kings usurped the San Jose Sharks in the Western Conference Final, They beat the Rangers in the final to capture their second Cup in three seasons. They won three game sevens and set a record for most wins facing elimination in a single season... They won seven.

    Can the Dallas Stars become only the fourth team to accomplish the feat? I say not but, my prognostication is not great this playoff year. The Lightning and Hurricanes are golfing and the Panthers are in the Stanley Cup Final so, what do I know. I was correct predicting that the Bruins would succumb to the "President’s Trophy Curse" but, not until the second round. It's definitely an off year around the board.

    Not that I like it but, Florida will win the Cup. The glass slipper seems to fit and it's definitely been their year, Just ask around Boston and Toronto.

  10. Today I received the one stationery item I was most excited about in the past year, the Monoc Nib from Schon DSGN! I’ve used it for a few hours, but can say that for me this nib hits everything that I love in fountain pens, and may be my favorite writing experience to date. I am absolutely amazed by this nib! #photgraph #penaddict #pens #stationeryaddict #stationery #fountainpen #nib #nibs #nibbage #schondsgn #schondsgnmonoc #shotoniphone #adobelightroom
