Shanghaied posted:Lamy 2000 oh snap. Had mixed results with lamy. I got the Dialog 1 and some Safari's years ago, the dialog was nice looking but i dropped it once and it was never the same. The safari's come with terrible roll balls...definitely form over function pens for me.

I think I posted a different pair of these months ago in the thread, but I'm obsessed with this brand of sunglasses (Goodr) They're great for running/other outdoor activities and c'mon they're making them with 'granny floral' print frames!

Bought a fancy rear end dinner. Didn't take too many pics because I'm not a 22 year old food blogger, but I did get two on the sly: A bunch of delicious chocolate stuff:  The view from our table:  Everest in Chicago, if anyone is wondering. Might not have been the absolute best meal I've ever had in my life, but it was damned close.

If you get Blenders don't go with any of the mirrored finishes, mine just rubbed right off and they are now unusable. My girlfriend likes hers a lot though, and they supposedly have a good warranty that I haven't looked into yet.

Spy_Guy posted:Starting college on monday and I wanted a nice pen for taking notes. That’s a really nice pen, but as someone who hand wrote all of their lecture notes through undergrad and law school, using it to take notes is likely a foolish endeavor. I’d recommend just a straight cheap bic pen to avoid smearing and bleed-through tbh. Use that nice fountain pen (?) for fun stuff where you will see a real benefit from its distinctive lines.

mystes posted:What do you mean by "distinctive lines"? Some older fountain pens have flex in the nib. On downward strokes, or when pressure is applied, the tines of the nib fan out and give a thicker line. Modern fountain pens don't exhibit this behaviour. Most modern pen nibs come in sizes varying from very fine to bold which will just put down a consistent line of a uniform thickness. You can also get stub nibs which are broader, and will write thinly on horizontal strokes, but thickly on downward.

I am aware of the fact that virtually no modern fountain pens come with flex or stub nibs.

I'll second that. I use fountain pens almost exclusively as a high school teacher, but I would never use it as my main pen if I had to go back to school.

Husband went out to do errands today while I'm sick, and brought home a ton of goodies ranging from donuts to this $30 MSRP, all the ones I glanced at on Amazon were ~$32, and he snagged it for $20. Our current 4 qt is six years old, and the finish is coming off the handles. I'm very pleased, this will be great for pasta nights and chicken soup this winter

Not a purchase per se, but I did have to pay for the title transfer, new tag, and different county tax. This was my father's and he gave it to me since he got a new car.  2004 Toyota Corolla CE (not mine but this color). Only 103,210 miles. My first automatic in over 20 years. My left foot must be retrained.

Got a mechanical "gaming" keyboard. The HyperX Alloy Elite, probably against my better judgement. It's nice to type on, has media control that aren't on a function key, and snazzy but kind of unnecessary lights.
