Todays handwriting practice, I think the black and white filter looks pretty good.

Got my hand on a 3d printed bolt action pen with G2 refills by jasonkunda from MakerWorld. The refill is actually not G2 but quite close, the 3d plunger was way too thick to insert into the barrel so I took a knife and give it some diet. The tip has a bit wobble, but nothing serious.

Fuck, I think I lost my PSP

The beautiful #pokemon seaglass.

Clara, I don't think anything good would come from this. Image source: Daniel Abraham - The Tyrant's Law.

Oh Dawson, I think things won't end well for you.

Handwriting practice. Fountain pen Franklin-Christoph Model 40p, with moonman "fine" nib. Um, the ink is blue-black, but it's more black than blue. #fountainpen #handwriting #cursive

Pocketcasts 2024 yearly stats is out!

Today's quote is from "Crimson Shore" by the authors Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, the 15th book of their Agent Pendergast Series in dotgrid draft paper. Pen Prophet C-985.

Reading #Mickey7, currently on chapter 12, I smell a huge conspiracy. I do not like how Berto lying to Mickey regarding how his previous self died, what other things is he lying about. I also do not like how Nasha basically into him the first time they met, seems too purposeful ...

Reading "Hannibal", got introduced to a rich, powerful guy hooked on respirator name Mason Verger and I instinctively believe he is a villain in this novel. Mainly because there's many such character in police-procedurals such as "Castle", "Criminal Minds", "Elementary" and I believe many more.

#handwriting practice of my current reads. Today, chapter 1 of "Mickey7" - Edward Ashton. Pen: Moonman Wancai Ink: Generic no brand blue ink Paper: Generic cheap draft paper

I been thinking of posting handwritten passages from books that I am currently reading as handwriting practice; nothing meaningful, just random words from my kindle to my fountain pen. However, I don't want to flood it with the same book, so maybe every new book that I am reading.

Please don't mind the misspellings.

Moonman/Mojan is releasing a new line of Wancai series fountain pens, the crystal series. And it's a beauty.

Anyone else fighting the urge to pronounce anime as "aim"?

This is just in: F-C has replied to my complaint email and came through with flying colors. I am now holding a replacement pen barrel after its two long week international travel. My Model 40P is again in service as eye dropper.

So, I bought a thing. I had a #PSP a decade ago, but due to my stupidity I hard-bricked it. Been eyeing a second hand one for over five years, luckily snatched this one few days ago.

I don't need another kindle, I don't need another kindle, I don't need another kindle.

Age yourself with a movie you saw in the theater as a kid

I just noticed all the posts by @ooccouchgags.bsky.social are clips of Treehouse of Horror episodes, not just random Simpson episodes as I previously thought.

Starting "Black Thorn" by Sarah Hilary, on chapter 2 and already felt its gonna be a slow burn.

Why is “Obrigado” so similar to "Arigato? Both means "thank you", but one is Portuguese and one is Japanese. Are they related somehow?

Handwriting practice one.

New pen day, Hongdian M2. Anodized Aluminum, very smooth, very slippery. Its gunshot grey, but under the light, it shows a shade of purple.

Okay, just purchased Hongdian m2 in grey, the picture look eerily purple. Let's see how it look when it arrives. I just found the pen today, it looks to be the perfect replacement for my pocket FC (which has cracked threads).

Welp, I returned the two 3088as.

The new pens wrote smoothly for the first three days, then it started to have dry outs and hard starts again. Wonder if constant usage loosen its airtightness. I will switch ink just to rule out the ink's issue. If it persists, I probably would return the two pens again.

I have returned the 3088a and bought two more in hope of finding one that doesn't dry out after few minutes. #fountainpens

New pen day, Lanbitou 3088a, which is a revision of its 3088 model (which is a copy of Platinum's Curidas). It is a bit larger than 3088, with more intimate changes that made it bit more distinct from Curidas.
