behold! i got a new pen! new pens make me happy! this one's a waterman kultur fine point, and buying it over ebay from someone in belgium was a helluva lot cheaper than i can find them here. i apologize for the blurriness, but bouncy happy wanting-to-share does not sustain itself long enough to wait on real pictures when a cell phone camera is handy.

nice

yeah... and the greatest thing about them is that the good, reliable nibs go all the way down to their really basic lines... unfortunately, the truly affordable lines don't exist in the US. (the phileas runs about $30; my favorite pen ever, bought at a grocery store in france, was an $8 waterman, and it was more expensive than some of the others in stock!) i paid $18.50, including shipping, for this one on e-bay... i figure it's about twice what the woman selling it paid, but that's fair since i can't find anything like it here!
