Bicycle Jersey

I just got back from riding my bike, and exploring new parts of San Francisco, and I wanted to see how much a particular bicycle jersey cost.  (The jersey has Corn Pops on it.  Fantastic!)  I went to the World Jerseys website -- World Jerseys makes the Corn Pops jersey -- and found that they had several new jerseys, including one with a spam theme!  They also have a One-Eyed Willie jersey.  I love those guys.

Pilot Knight Fountain Pen

I tried a beautiful, matte-blue Pilot Knight fountain pen last week, and while I *loved* the weight of the pen, and its feel in my hand, I wasn't especially happy with the nib: it seemed kind of scratchy to me. The saleswoman told me that fine nibs can feel that way, since the points of the nibs can get caught in the fibers of the paper. Maybe I should try the pen with other kinds of paper. Hmmmm... Anyway, even though the nib seems to be the most important part of a fountain pen, I can't stop thinking about how good that pen felt! It may warrant another try. To be continued...

Film Noir!

I am very excited about Noir City, San Francisco's film noir festival, showing at the Castro Theatre this week.  I love film noir, and I love seeing it on a big screen.  Also, the Castro Theatre's interior is amazing: it was designed in the Art Deco style, and every time I enter, my heart enters my throat.  

Lamy 2000

I have tried this pen once, but have heard so many rave reviews since then that I want to try it again. Flax, here I come!
