Great article for anyone looking for information about where to go for fountain pens in Paris. Very much matches up with my experiences here. #fountainpens www.penaddict.com/blog/2025/2/...

Did I mention I got a rainbow unicorn pen holder as a present? And a bottle of l’Écritoire Cyan Bleu ink. #fountainpens #ecritoire #benu #odysseynotebooks #writing

Starting the year being ok that I did not read as many books last year as normal. Which is surprising as timewise I read much more! But I read a ton of long books last year and I read quite a bit slower in my second language. Add an international move in there, and I am happy with what I read.

Sorta curious how many holiday injuries can be attributed to trying to open ink bottles from the Diamine Inkvent calendar! I’m at two for the season. Love this each year and get that they have to make sure it doesn’t leak as it ships all over the world, but whoa. #fountainpens #diamine #inkvent

Wandered to the 9th to get a guitar and found a store that specializes in left-handed guitars, which I don’t need but cool that it exists. I love that Ned Flanders is part of their signage. #paris #nedflanders #lefthandedguitars #guitars #okelydokely #dacodac

Wow!! Saw Emo Philips at #chezgeorges tonight, he is so awesome, so wickedly funny, dark, and exactly as kind as he was when I was in high school. Fuck yes. @emophilips.bsky.social #emophilips #comedy #lucky #paris

Wandered through Bon Marché on the way to La Grande Épicerie to get supplies to make dinner. Picked up their catalog, and wow is it charming - very cute children’s storybook. Very curious who does it for them and if they made Chrisymas ornaments of the clouds!

Happy thanksgiving. Always good to remember what brings good to your life. Spending some time writing about that today instead of worrying about the future. Hope you have a good one.

One of the things I did not realize entirely how much I’d miss by moving is being by the ocean regularly. And going to Astoria, Oregon for regular wanders as I have been doing since I was little. #astoriaoregon #pnw
