I’m not posting this picture because it’s particularly great (although it’s nice enough), and certainly not because I’m suddenly overtaken with fondness towards Windows Vista merchandise. (In fact, when my laptop died in the summer, I transitioned to using a Mac, just so that I didn’t have to use Vista; that’s by the by though.)
However, I have a confession to make: I have an uncommon, unseemly fondness towards free pens.
Even if it’s kinda mediocre in use, even if it bears the name of a product I’d never use (like, cough, Vista) - hey, if it’s free, I’ll have it. And use it, often in preference to my other, nicer pens.
My friend reckons that it’s because deep down I don’t think that whatever I’m writing is worthy, and I’m loathe to use nice stationery on it. Maybe so, or maybe I’m just greedy.
Anyway, the picture up there is a symbol of my weakness.

I just heard the news! And since you’re the expert, I’m looking for you to verify this wonderful event.
My two loves in life are Starbucks Coffee and pens. Yes, you guessed it. My minions tell me that a Starbucks pen exists.
Your mission: To boldly go where no pen-loving blog has gone before…is it true?

Barry, rejoice: it’s true. I believe you can get a Starbucks planner, which comes with a pencil, and possibly a pen. Not sure if these are sold separately, but they do exist.
My love for Starbucks coffee is boundless, and now I’m determined to get one of these planners and a pen for 2009. I’ll report if I find them!
Here’s the evidence:
O Happy Day!
Thanks for stalwart investigation, Cinderberry. I’m off in search of said items.
The game is afoot!
