Happy new year! I was wrapping up 2024 and getting my journal ready for 2025 by adding page numbers when I found a 4 leaf clover hidden away. I have no memory of sticking it in, though it is very on-brand for me. I am going to take is as a positive portent for the coming year.

Happy Solstice! No new ink for me to sample, just a new pen to put a new ink into, TWSBI Eco Amazonite and Sailor USA Alaska.
I may or may not do this again next year. I may just go through and randomly sample the ink already in my collection.
I put together a gif of all twenty ink swatches: Sailor Manyo Yama-buki (orange), J. Herbin Ambre de Baltique (golden brown), Sailor USA Alaska (aqua blue), Platinum Sepia Black (dark brown), Colorverse Ornament Yellow, Sailor Ink Studio 750 (dark purple), Pilot Iroshizuku Kosumosu (pink), Diplomat Caribbean (green blue), Cross Red, Kobe #56 Rokku Shichidanka, Lamy Beryl, Kobe #34 Tea Green, Monteverde Mango Mousse, Kyo-no-oto Sakuranezumi, Caran d'Ache Delicate Green, Visconti VanGogh series Wheatfield under Thunderclouds (green), 3 Oysters Bukansan (rusty brown), Faber-Castell Yozakura (pink), 3 Oysters Purple Gray, and Monteverde Turtle (blue).

Day 9 of my Solstice ink countdown is Cross Red. This is a red ink with an orange cast and a moderate gold sheen. I thought I would have a lot of red inks for comparison since I ordered a bunch of reds several years ago for my spouse to choose a correction ink, but when I looked through them all, only three were comparable: Waterman Audacious Red, Toucan Crimson, and Seitz-Kreuznach Indian Summer Orange.

I'm told it's not horror (no supernatural element) but "Bob Roberts" is very scary movie. It came out in 1992.
