I got the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jetpens.com\/index.php\/cPath\/45_595\">Pilot Presso Side Knock mechanical pencil<\/a>, but I&#8217;m not sure exactly why I picked that one. Maybe I thought it was cute. That is highly likely. Anyway, it has a side click and a pretty good-sized eraser on top. It feels comfortable in my hand and writes smoothly. I also got some lead in both H and HB. Now I am thinking I also need a mechanical pencil with a really fine, sharp lead. Probably a good idea, right? Any suggestions?<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/jpn pens_1024x682.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"jpn pens_1024x682.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/jpn pens_1024x682-thumb.jpg\" width=\"340\" height=\"226\" border=\"3\" \/><\/a><\/center>I also got a couple of new pens. My <a href=\"http:\/\/www.i8u.org\/blog\/\">brother<\/a> had to fly to California for the day last week, and he ended up with some time to kill, so of course I told him he should go to Maido or Kinokuniya and buy me some pens. Ha! Lest you think I&#8217;m a big brat, I <i>could<\/i> have sent him to the petite bra store, so you see, I am not so evil. Anyway, the green pen is the Uni-Ball Signo in .38mm. It is NOT the Signo DX, and I&#8217;m actually not sure what the difference is. If I were really obsessed, I would know. It&#8217;s a nice gel roller pen. The other pen is the Zebra Techno Line ballpoint pen in 0.4mm. I got it based on a recommendation from <a href=\"http:\/\/domesticshorthair.wordpress.com\/2007\/04\/24\/what-can-i-say\/\">Lydia<\/a>. It&#8217;s a fine-point ballpoint pen, but I hate to say I am not feeling the love for this pen. I find that the ink is a little prone to smearing, and it lacks the smooth flow, the ink-skating-over-the-paper feel of the Uni-Ball Jetstream Sport. I am not, however, giving up on the Zebra. If Lydia says it&#8217;s great, I am willing to give it a chance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, so I need to talk about pens and pencils again. Bear with me.
