Moleskine Evernote

I'm a big fan of Moleskine.
And I'm a big fan of Evernote.
It's no wonder I was happy to acquire the Evernote Moleskine when it appeared.
To tell you the truth, I own it for a month and a half already, and I haven't done a single note in it yet. But how would I know it wouldn't disappear the moment it appears, as it happened with the Moleskine Hobbit limited edition. Large notebooks were sold out the same week they showed in the e-shop, so when I came shopping, it was too late, and they had only the black pocket version left. A pity, indeed. Well, there's still a hope they'll do a re-print. Anyway, I already have a dozen of different moleskines, this is a good sign to make a pause.


P.S. You can see my new Kaweco Sport to the right.

Finally I started using my new fountain pen.
In my life I had:
• one Hero fountain pen (actually it's my mother's, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's older than me), replica of some Parker
• my husband purchased another Hero on e-bay, but it had a bad nib. Another replica of Parker. Yes, the pen itself is very nice, but I couldn't use it — whether because of problems with the nib, or it just didn't fit me, who knows.
• Waterman Harmonie: one of my favorite pens. I've been using it for several years already, and I'm very happy I purchased it. The nib became a little bit bolder, than finer, but it's ok. It writes softly and smoothy. I'd say you get high just by using it.
• Another Waterman, but Hemisphere. The same problem, as with the second Hero. I purchased it myself, but cartridges do not want to fit tightly, because of this it leaks all the time; and the nib is scratching paper when writing. Awful.
• And now it's Kaweco. It's small, and it's light, and it's of cheap plastic, but you get the right feeling when holding it. I guess I'll be using it in parallel with my Waterman Harmonie.

And it would be a good idea to start using my first Hero again: Nick Ch. gave me a bottle of Parker blue ink. I think I should refill the pen. In this case I'll have three pens with three different colours. It's a good thing to have!
