Stationery Review 140 - Diamine Livid Lime Fountain Pen Ink from Cult Pens @CultPens

Hi Friends, 

I got this amazing neon-coloured ink named Diamine Livid Lime from Cult Pens. This ink looks great and fresh as the newly grown leaves but I felt it's not that legible on the paper. Check it out! 

This ink feels really fresh just like the tree leaves when they are newly grown. The ink is really nice for your drawings or doodling. This is not a legible ink on paper but really nice to highlight your notes or points where you want to draw attention.

Some of these inks are available at Sandton Stationery & Print shop in Sandon City. Some more colours are available at Applebee Pens in Johannesburg and the WriteGear store in Cape Town. These are also available at WriteSpoke and WriteGear Online Stores as well. The price of these inks is around ZAR 100 for a 30ml bottle.

Stationery Review 139 - Diamine Violet Fountain Pen Ink from Cult Pens @CultPens

Hi Friends, 

Thanks to Cult Pens for bringing a lot of Diamine Inks in this small bottle avatar of 12ml each. It's a perfect size to test out all the inks. Check this Diamine Violet if you like the same.

 

I bought the 16 fountain pen ink (12ml bottles) pack from the Cult Pens Online Store in the United Kingdom. This is the 3rd ink that I have reviewed from the package. Slowly and steadily I will bring you all the inks from Diamine. 

This particular ink is totally different from the ones I have from other brands. We can also analyze if you need to buy the pack of inks that come just like that or if you should invest directly in the ones you love.

Some of these inks are available at Sandton Stationery & Print shop in Sandon City. Some more colours are available at Applebee Pens in Johannesburg and the WriteGear store in Cape Town. These are also available at WriteSpoke and WriteGear Online Stores as well. The price of these inks is around ZAR 100 for a 30ml bottle.

Stationery Review 138 - Maido in a Box DX Volume 19 (USD 75)

Hi Friends, 

I bought this Maido in a box DX Mystery Stationery Pack volume 19 from the shop in Japantown in San Francisco for a 50% discount. The same is priced at USD 75 + taxes so I got it for around USD 40. They had various versions available at discounts. I chose this one because it had a fountain pen and ink in the package and various other stationery items and papers. Check it out!

I really loved this mystery box and all the goodies that I got inside of it. The problem with these kinds of mystery boxes is that if you get what you get. It's already chosen by someone else but the good part is that you get to know many new brands that you are unaware of or won't buy it. 

Secondly, the overall price of the box is not like it's coming at a discount rather than when the store launched a 20%-40% off storewide. I think this sale is much better than getting a mystery box. You can buy what you have eyes on rather than anything random that you won't use as well. 

Considering that I got this for USD 40 then also I don't think I got any benefits out of it. I think I have paid a fair/regular price for the goodies rather than the discounts they make you think that you got.

Stationery Review 137 - A Journey Within Journal by Piccadilly (USD 8)

Hi Friends, 

I bought this journal from a Walmart Store in Las Vegas. I didn't visit Walmart in San Francisco so I am not aware if the same will be available there or not? However, I also saw the same kind of journals at the Barnes & Noble store. The price of the same was around USD 8-10. 

I loved this one and I thought I needed to get to know myself better. Check it out as it asks you various questions that you can fill in the space provided and after doing all the exercises you will definitely find yourself much more about you.

Alan Committie's COMEDY GOLD - Pieter Toerien’s Montecasino Theatre From 19 February – 16 March 2025

Hi Friends, 

Directed by Chris Weare

Pieter Toerien’s Montecasino Theatre

19 February – 16 March 2025

Currently performing to packed houses and rave reviews in Cape Town, renowned and award-winning funnyman Alan Committie will soon be heading to Jozi to stage his annual brand-new stand-up offering, as he reflects on the year that was.

Joburg audiences, get ready for his side-splitting Comedy Gold, on stage at Pieter Toerien’s Montecasino Theatre from 19 February – 16 March 2025.

In Comedy Gold, Committie will once again award comedy medals to all the quibbles, foibles, outrageous inconsistencies and multiple inefficiencies that made up modern living in 2024/5.

From elections and appalling selections, through Air BnB’s and deleted WhatsApp messages but never ignoring Olympic shenanigans and dieticians, this show will be filled with all the customary wordplay, physical hi-jinx and surreal detours into fresh perspectives that you associate with this jester.

Also: a flipchart. Or even flipcharts.

Always.

Although not a trained athlete in the traditional sense, Committie is a highly respected and well regarded member of the Lower Blairgowrie Amateur Association 7th team badminton squad (reserves).

And apparently doesn’t eat carbs on a Tuesday.

Did I mention there will be flipchart(s)?

Committie comments; “Comedy Gold is my 27th solo stand-up show and this year’s band new comedy offering promises some silly surprises and variations on a theme. 

I attempt a tryptich of flipchart mind maps. THREE flipcharts at once! A feat never attempted before by any sane person. It’s school stationery taken to a new level. No CNA, just RSA.”

The show is coached by Chris Weare who may or may not be on a course of steroids but never for the reason you guessed.

The show runs from 19 February -16 March at Pieter Toerien’s Montecasino Theatre in Fourways.

Performances are Wednesdays – Fridays @ 19h30, Saturdays @ 16h00 & 19h30, Sundays @ 15h00.

Tickets range from R150 – R260 and bookings are through Webtickets. Alternatively, you can contact the Box Office at Pieter Toerien’s Montecasino Theatre at 011 511 1988.

For group bookings, email Geraldine at geraldine@montetheatre.co.za or call 011 511 1988.

Comedy Gold is 90 minutes in duration with no interval.

With his signature dry humour, Committie concludes; “Jozi audiences are always a delight and I am already tweaking and refining the material so that I can get maximum laughs from them. Cape Town audiences have raved, but they were laughing at prime holiday prices; Jozi is the real deal. I am ironing my shirt as we speak.”
