It’s funny that people who use the Fujifilm X100 series say they are unlike shooting with any other camera. Almost everyone has fallen in love with theirs. And I have pretty much fallen in love with my X100T. It’s so fun to shoot with! I’m still getting used to the optical viewfinder, but the cool design and the way it feels makes me want to pick it up and shoot. It’s just a great experience. And I haven’t even spoken about the image quality. Which is awesome. But just the camera design makes it a joy to use. I am crazy about this Fujifilm camera! The only time I have picked up my dslr was to take photos of my X100T. 😄
Last summer while I was in Japan, we went to the stationery store and I saw these cool multi-ink pen components. I think my wife created one but for some reason I didn’t make one. But I do like taking notes using different colored pens and instead of carrying around three pens for a total of three colors, I finally decided to get a multi-ink pen. After a little research I found myself at jetpens.com ordering 2 pen bodies, and 8 inks to load into them. There were a few different brands and models and I went with the Pilot Hi-Tech-C Coleto pen system. For the first pen, I went with a plain clear body, which I filled with a standard set of colors – red, blue, green, violet, but for the other pen I got a light blue body and a brighter set of colors – “Clear Blue”, “Apple Green”, “Baby Pink”, and “Apricot Orange”.

These two pens are AWESOME! I love writing with them. Having all these colors literally at my fingertips makes note-taking a lot more fun and the notes are much more organized. I’m pretty happy with the colors I chose and how they look together on paper, but of course now I want to get a third body for even more color options. It’s fun!
On a side note, I did buy one other plain black pen (you can see it in the picture). It’s a Zebra Sarasa model, with 1mm tip. I love the super-thick strokes it makes. For the multi-ink pens, I went with the thickest available, which is .5mm.

I just watched the first three episodes of Mother Game (マザー･ゲーム), a Japanese drama starring Kimura Fumino (木村文乃). It’s about a single, working mother whose son gets invited to a prestigious kindergarten, and the tensions that arise between her and the social elite mothers whose kids already attend. the school. It’s a familiar plot that we have seen before, but Fumino Kimura is so good in this one and the story does look promising. I can’t wait for more subtitles to be created (it’s about 4 episodes behind)!
