Someone will have the Nuvola Lilac and I need one. Maybe Kirk, maybe Truphae. The new Preppies, I want a bat one and an eggplant but idk, those are skippable. Kirk’s show nib has an elk on it and doesn’t thrill me. But his discount ink bins will be fun to rummage through.
I just encountered the excellent phrase “low-level ecstasy,” denoting the small thrill aroused by a small-seeming good thing, in Bill Bryson’s Appalachian Trail memoir _A Walk in the Woods_.
