Pen Is

And a classic…fitting with the posts below.

Oscillating Wildly

Stylin’ and profilin’. Oscar Wilde.  And a few pics of his grave as well. All culled from Google Image searches. Enjoy.

Pens

I use pens all day at work. I’m particularly fond of the Parker Jotter.

I’ve never seen some of these colors. Nice!

And the stainless steel. Class.

I literally found a Zebra like this one on the floor at my old job. I’ve used it for a long time, and for a fine tip it writes well. Plus, being a mix of steel and plastic is nice.

It Pays to Know an International Man of Mystery

As the title above relates, it DOES. What did I find in my mailbox today? Only a beautiful Boca away kit, sent from Brooklyn, via Buenos Aires. Club Atlético Boca Juniors is an Argentine sports (futball) club based in the La Boca neighborhood of Buenos Aires. It just so happens that my man, Agent 19, gets around. Pretty brilliant.

And it goes well with the toque that he got me from across the street from La Bombonera a couple years back. See below.

What did I learn today? It always pays to know an International Man of Mystery. That, and those South American XXLs fit like a dream.

Talking Book

Sweet.

Excellent photo culled from Google Image search.

vapour trail

Bit of shoe-gaze.

Sweats

I like a good sweatshirt. Hoodie or crew, either way, I’m in. In fact, I think that the crewneck is more versatile than most folks give them credit.

Land’s End Durable Goods (Made in the USA), 6876, Ralph Lauren and Champion.

And a red Champion hoodie. You can’t go wrong with a classic.

That Land’s End Durable Goods line is interesting. They do sweats (shirts and pants) and they do t shirts (long and short sleeve). Made really well, with nice detailing. Oddly enough, available at Sears, of all places! Look into it. Good stuff.

Uncle Walt

Image lifted from the Library of Congress. (But it’s OK, because they were just holding it for me.)

China Meiville

I’m currently reading Kraken and I’m VERY into it. In poking around on line, I stumbled across the author’s tumblr. It’s pretty fantastic.

Check it out HERE.

Witches and Warlocks

I found this collection at the Half Price. Pretty cool, plus excellent cover art.
