Review: Uni-Ball Signo 0.7mm Lime Green

Uni-Ball SignoIt was just last week that I reviewed the Uni-Ball Signo 0.7mm light blue, and I liked it so much I wanted to put the lime green down on paper as well.  The same high praise applies to this color as it did the light blue - they perform no differently at all.  And that is a good thing, because these pens are really fun to write with.  It is nice to see a bold lime green, if that makes any sense.  Some lime greens are a little bit washed out, but this one really pops on the Doane Paper.  Love it.

The lyrics at the left are from "The Bleeding Heart Show" by The New Pornographers, which I have in super-duper heavy rotation right now.  The video is a little shaky, but the audio is pretty good.  Neko Case's part at the end gives me chills almost every time I hear this song.  Check it out below.

Carnivals Are Fun!

Huge thanks to Nifty at Notebook Stories for organizing The First Carnival of Pen, Pencil and Paper.  It is a great collection of links from some familiar blogs, and some that are new to me, which are always fun.  There will definitely be a Second Carnival in early September, and it will be right here at The Pen Addict.  Look for more information in the coming weeks.
