What I bought today

I was a little bored at York Lanes, so I went to the bookstore and milled around for an hour.

Bought three little things ...

1) An art pen (Pilot Parallel Pen)



The nib of this pen is like a normal fountain pen. Ink flows through two a narrow slit to form a line. Unlike normal pens, it is two piece of stainless steel overlapping. The flow is very springy. I got a 2.4 mm, so it draw lines about the same as a normal highlighter.

The really cool thing about this pen is that you can flip the nib sideways and draw a 0.5 mm wide line. I've been playing around with it all day, catching up on my calligraphy.






2) A book "Inside the Tornado"


It's another one of the Business Classic that everybody is suppose to have read. I don't know much about it, but I am kinda accumulating a little business books library and it was on sale, only $5.

















3) A Moleskine City Notebook (San Francisco)



I am a sucker for notebooks and these Moleskine peddlers just seem to push all my buttons. I am suppose to go to SF in a couple of weeks.

I saw the thing sitting in a pile of other Moleskines of other cities... I guess I need a little travel map anyways.... It was expensive, but I can't help but keep rubbing my hand over the smooth covers... utterly pornographic.
