@paradoxmo My cheap LAMYs arrived and thought I would give you an update.
I assumed (incorectly) that an "aluminium" pen would be made of metal. It is not.
I also thought I was buying a matte black ball point to match my fountain pen. They do not match 🤣 Both pens write well and look nice, so still a win.

@LuciaG I do understand this argument, and agree, but I can't help thinking about all the artists who sound/look/write like their influencers and idols. When you do your first recreation of an art piece, no one says you lack creativity. I bundle some ideas on AI into the "testicle stew" argument. It was tasty when you didn't know what it was, but when you are told you overthink and vomit....

@robjwhite @Tutanota This is the annoying part, isn't it. I managed to get everyone on my phone to Signal and then they dropped SMS functionality so I now have Signal, Whatsapp, Messenger and Line so I can contact everyone 🙄

When you have been working so hard you look at the calendar and wonder, "Those last 5 days were actually 3 weeks!"

@Manigarm Sad times.

Slash is coming to Bangkok!!

@paradoxmo Ended up getting a different nib (turns out I don't like extra fine), aluminium pen and the matching rollerball to my matte black Lamy...

@MFDOOMALLCAPS All of them.

I feel like Will Ferrel being an escaped Alan was a missed plot line..

@paradoxmo I think it is a hit and hope...

So, Lazada sells fountain pens in Thailand... Do I take a gamble on what is marked as a Lamy for $8 AUD/400 baht? Is this too good to be true? #FountainPens #Lamy #Lazada
