paper weight?

My only real problem with my Moleskine is that certain pens will show through--not technically bleed through, but definitely show. My experience has been that Sharpies will actually bleed through to the opposite side.

So my question is this: what weight grade does paper have to be in order for this problem to be solved?

I agree that the Pilot...

I agree that the Pilot G2 is a really nice pen. Best writing rectractable around in my opinion. However, I like something with a litttle more weight. A couple of years ago, I bought a rollerball and a fountain Rotring Core. The cap is heavy enough to add the weight that I like. However, if you like it light, leave the cap off, and you are also happy.

I am still using these pens (which is a good testament to their quality...I go through pens like water...since I collect them), and do not plan to change anytime soon. Both pens work fine in my moleskine.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »
