I like pens/pencils. it's dumb, I know it.
but I'm drawn to a smooth, dark, rich ink pen. Japan makes a crap ton of pens. it's an industry. I walked in and I had my own pad of paper in my man bag. I went on the hunt.
I bought a Lamy fountain pen in Taipei earlier and the dude screwed up and handed me a fine pen, when I asked for Medium. grrr... my own fault for not double-triple checking, but I know I can buy replacement tips. bibs?
but I was in the mother land of UniBall, Pentel, etc. I scratched my name in cursive about a 1000 times. hahah..I was focusing on Gel pens. I got the Uniball Zento and dropped a few into my basket. moved on.
I picked up a mystery tester, and wrote my name. whoa!! smooth!!! jet jet black ink? what is this thing? I was in line, so I bought two. I looked, and it was a damn Sharpie Gel pen. hahah... I think I can buy a 20 pack of them at Costco.
its a good pen.
. a sharpie!!!
