[02:51] pleia2: congratulations on your fountain pen! I just spent some time this morning flushing mine. I looove fountain pens. <3 [02:52] Also I'm rewatching Star Trek: The Next Generation from the beginning. Almost done with Season 1. It's surprisingly good in a lot of ways. [02:52] nhaines: thanks :) I have yet to finish one, so flushing will be a new experience some day ;) [02:52] I did all of Next Gen a couple years ago, it really is my favorite <3 [02:52] then DS9, now Voyager [02:53] I'm DS9 then Next Gen.... Actually I'm rewatching all of them long with Mission Log Podcast. It's really been fascinating. And the Animated Series is actually quite good, and who remembered that? [02:53] I don't [02:54] and yeah, my husband's favorite is DS9 too [02:54] * nhaines saw it in reruns on Nickelodeon in the mid 80s. [02:54] "In the Pale Moonlight" is pretty much the best episode of anything ever. [02:54] it finished its run before i was born [02:55] abc reran it in the '80s iirc [02:55] or was it cbs? [02:55] Flushing a fountain pen is super simple, but also if you use the same ink (I have a bottle I use to refill the converter cartridge) you don't have to flush it each time. Just when it starts skipping if it's clogged. [02:56] I might stick to the environment hating non-refillables for now [02:58] My pen *came* with the converter (but I think LAMY ones are $4.50 or so) and a bottle of ink is like $7. I had an inkwell I used to dip in at work, but I learned how to clean my fountain pen. :P (it's 12 years old now!) [02:59] haha, nice [02:59] bleh, a headache snuck up on me, going to triage === negronjl is now known as negronjl-afk [03:04] Take two of these and call me in the morning. [03:04] * nhaines holds up single-malt scotch. [03:37] pleia2: is it me or did UWN go out late this week? :) [03:37] (timewise, not datewise.) [03:39] * pleia2 so distracted this evening [03:39] also, for real, headache fixing now! === negronjl-afk is now known as negronjl === broder_ is now known as broder
