It is time for girly pens! (Hope you are watching, Gabrielle DuVent. These are in your honor.) The first is a gorgeous pale green Esterbrook. May the green bring forth the spring. Ha ha, wishful thinking. Here are ILLUSTRIOUS and IMBECILITY.

 

 

Oh how very clever of you. I am pleased not to be an imbecile.

Good match up, and great combo.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Today's word is IMMIGRANT. I guess I am unenlightened by early 20th standards. Yes, I am an immigrant, hehehe.

An eye for insignificant details is a good sign you will do just fine in medical school...

As a sharp wit and powerful sarcasm is a sign that you already have.

I love that he's a space alien trying to look like an American (just not from the States).

What's wrong with being an imbecile? Happy Hans is, in fact, happy, and Nietzsche killed himself. In the race of pursuit of happiness, the flag seems to go to the fools. (And we all know just how Bierce was!)

Tes rires retroussés comme à son bord la rose,


Effacent mon dépit de ta métamorphose;


Tu t'éveilles, alors le rêve est oublié.



-Jean Cocteau, from Plaint-Chant, 1923

Aren't pastels pretty? I'm trying to channel spring but instead there will be snow... again. Today's word is IMMORAL:

I love the Dutch bottle for a Japanese ink and an American pen. Beyond that, I love your work.

We interrupt this display of beautifully girly pastel Esties to bring you LOVE directly from the Los Angeles les Pen Show. Gotta have fun on Valentines day with the most appropriately hued Sailor Pro Gear Millecolore (mil colores, thousand colors) and J Herbin Rose Tendresse.

911: Help. I'm on my cellphone and am nobody without my computer which I left home. I cannot figure out how to get the information from Flickr so the picture displays and not just the stupid link (sigh of frustration.) Could somebody kindly do that for me or teach me? Thanks.

It is lovely and writes really well.

 

So Ifigured how to get the BBCode . Open the full web site, not the mobile one. So today we go back to the pastel Esties. Diamine peach haze is the flavor of the day (I drank it, tastes like... Chicken.) Here are IMMORTALITY and IMPARTIAL.

WOW great stuff!

 

@Ether - how was the show?

 

@Plistumi, stop drinking the ink! Booze is cheaper.
