I love that you are almost as picky about your pens as I am. Usually my taste in them is pretty cheap but I finally decided (after wanting one for years) to ask my mom for the Cross Century II for my birthday. I have the Classic Century that my dad gave me but I wanted to try out the updated version. I know $40 ain't a huge sum for a nice pen but I usually stick to $5 or under (especially because I have a tendency to buy pens when I'm feeling down, just like my mom buys purses or rearranges the furniture :P). But I do like the Flexgrips as well, especially in blue. 2. I, too, am debating giving up Mrs. Dalloway. I'm trying to push myself a bit more because I'm really not that far into it but it's already losing my interest. I just feel like I should like some of these classics more (I agree with feeling unworthy of my degree sometimes...oftentimes...perhaps even most times) but at least I'm not alone. 1.

Well, depending on how long you guys are staying, I might just come by to visit. Whether it's going to be Japan or Korea, it's still up in the air, but we said if you guys still there, we'll come to visit.
