I know, just yesterday, I was raving about the Zebra 301's. However, it came to my attention that several websites recommended the use of fountain pens for long term use. Well, it just so happens that I have an old Parker Vector (Parker's lowest end fountain pen) that has been sitting in my pen holder for the last... 7 years. I went down to the local Staples, bought some Parker fountain refills, and started using the Vector today. I have to say: it's been a pretty pleasurable experience using a fountain pen. It flows like a gel ink pen, but feels a little nicer to write with.

I have to get this out of the way: I have this little quirk, where if I get interested in something, I don't just get interested... I get OBSESSED. I have to say, this little trait of mine has some advantages and some disadvantages. It's great, because I tend to know quite a bit of information about random things... and it sucks because I tend to know a quite a bit of information about random things... that no one cares about. Why did I bother mentioning this little characteristic of mine? Because it'll help clear up any obsessiveness I might start exhibiting in the next few weeks over pens.

Anyways, I was just looking at a website, www.pencity.com, and found a great pen that I want: the Cross Century II Chrome Fountain Pen. Long name, I know, but the pen looks exquisite, all the same. I spent half the day reading about fountain pens, what kinds of inks to use, fountain pens this... fountain pens that... I've decided to invest in a good, mid-range fountain pen, and I think the Cross Century II is the pen for me.

Another day spent studying Organic Chemistry. It's getting harder and harder to maintain focus, but I know if I don't do it... I'm going to choke in my upcoming summer class. Wish me luck! I know my entries have been a bit uneventful, but that's how my life is these days. My daily routine consists of nothing more than waking up, studying, maybe going down to a local store, or getting something to eat. I've been repeating this for the last two months, and I have to say that it's starting to drive me insane, lol. Oh well, I suppose a little boring is better than having too much drama.

Before I end for today, I'd like to mention that, a few days ago, Blizzard Entertainment announced that it's making Starcraft 2, the sequel to what many believe is the greatest strategy game ever made. This is probably the biggest news in the gaming industry that has been released in this year. Screenshots are already posted online; check it out!
