Sep. 14th, 2008 09:47 amLast Thursday I was at a loose end at work so I decided to go and kill a couple of hours in Loft. Loft is possibly the best shop in Japan, if not the world. I has every object you could possibly desire it, apart from clothes.
One reason I go there is that they not only have hot pink Moleskine notebooks (which I haven't bought yet because I can't decide if I want the pink, green or blue ones), but they also have my favourite Pilot Super Grip pen in a 1.2mm nib. In fact their stationery department makes me slightly weak-kneed with joy. I went there to buy a new notebook for my new Japanese class, and a new mechanical pencil. I don't actually NEED a new pencil, the old one works just fine, but the clip is broken and the rubber grip is starting to peel off. So I spent a good hour playing with pens and pencils, stroking notebooks and testing expensive, but wonderfully purple, nail varnish. Anyway, nail varnish aside, I'm glad that I'm not the only one with a stationery fetish. See this article in The Times.
And just so you can all enjoy my purchases, here's a picture of my new red notebook, with a blue one behind, my favourite Pilot pen, and my new sexy mechanical pencil.
