    Default What I Grabbed First

    Today we had to sign some Important Papers for a business we're purchasing. There was a deadline. All of my pens were stored for moving in their case.

    What to do? Which pen to choose for such a big deal?

    I surprised even myself and went for the matte black Safari with the custom BLS nib. Filled it with Lamy Dark Lilac.

    Boom. Done deal.

    'Tis a shame all your Diamine Oxblood was already packed. It would have added several layers of delicious irony to the momentous occasion.
    Online arguments are a lot like the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
    As soon as the audience begins to participate, any actual content is lost in the resulting chaos and cacophony.
    At that point, all you can do is laugh and enjoy the descent into debasement.

    The inks are lovely, dark and deep.
    But I have promises to keep,
    And yet more signatures before I sleep.

    Will dig around for that Oxblood before we're done.
