Random thoughts

These pens I have. They appear to be called Paper Mate Eagle. These are ridiculously bad pens. Do not buy these pens. They will only bring you heartache.

It's crazy how bad they are. You take them to paper and start tracing out whatever you are trying to write --> you end up with ink on about a third of the outline. Over and over. Try pressing extra hard - try being extra soft - makes no difference.

You can eventually get what you want but it is a constant fight with the pen.

I bought a box of these pens. I'm pretty sure I have had other Papermate pens that have been very satisfactory. But this particular model is just ridiculous. Eagle. I tried one and threw it out after fighting for a few days. Tried another. Tried another. Fuck it, I am just throwing out the box of brand new pens.

Stupid fucking pens.

We use nothing but Uni-Ball Jetstream pens. Widely available for free on your nearby copy room storage shelves. Ask your receptionist.

Ooh. Looks fancy.

I keep pens (and post-its for jotting notes) all over this place. There are about 8 permanent pen/notes locations in my apartment. I looked around to see if there were any of the previous pens - which I like - and I found a few. The name in fact has worn off but just by appearance I can tell they are this - which is Papermate:

They also come in blue but I know that the black is better. I was living a life of contentment with those pens.

And so I shall again!
