• Using everything

  I’m sure that everyone loses pens.  Lots of pens at that.  You either drop them, or you hand it to someone to write something down and they put it in their pocket.  I mean, some pens just stop working, but i don’t worry about those.

  Anyway, I have a Pilot G-2 .07 pen that I have been using for the past couple of months.  Amazingly, it is almost out of ink.  Although this seems mundane, it’s probably the first pen ever that I have done this with.  It’s almost become a small pet project to protect this pen until it’s eventual death, which I estimate to be within the next week.  I may just start writing more things down, in some sort of euthanasia for the pen.  

  This pen has cause me to think more about the stuff that I own, and most importantly about reducing the amount of waste.  It seems to be another section of my desire to be thrifty, since by not wasting anything, I will spend less money replacing things.

  On a similar note, since I’m getting ready to move (again) getting rid of stuff is a great idea.  I just have about 3 weeks to do it, so that shouldn’t be too hard, but we’ll see.

  Black 6, out.
