Dr. Grip Pen

I just found a Dr. Grip pen in my stationary box. I have no idea where I got it :p
The grip is a bit dirty and I can't seem to clean it :(

Pics of stuff I got in Japan

Here are the front and back views of my Game Boy Advance that I got in Japan. I got it for about 2000 yen at a second hand games and book store called BOOK-OFF. The main reason I got it was because it used AA batteries instead of rechargeable ones like the GBA SP and the GBA Micro. However I'm a bit disappointed that there is no back-light, making the screen harder to view than the other GBA varieties. But for only 2000 yen I can't really complain.

Another thing that I bought from BOOK-OFF was the Legend of Starfy Game Boy game. It was only 250 yen so I'm pretty pleased. It didn't come with the game packaging but the cartridge was not damaged and worked perfectly.



I got this 64MB mini SD card for 200 yen at a stationary shop. I don't really have any gadgets that need to use a mini SD card but as it was cheap I got it.


I got this camera tripod from a 100 Yen shop. It's like a gorillapod except it isn't as flexible and doesn't look as cool. However for 100 yen it was definitely worth it.


I got all of my mechanical pencils from the same stationary shop I got my miniSD card. This Dr. Grip Putimo was 90 yen. It's pretty handy and I use is as a keyring for my mobile.



I got this Dr. Grip Aroma for about 200 yen. I haven't got round to breaking the scent sticks yet so I have no idea what they smell like.



I got this limited edition ant Dr. Grip for around 300 yen. I got this one mainly because it was limited edition and looks pretty cool!



This is an old Dr. Grip pen I have. I've taken a picture of this one mainly to let you compare the new and old Dr. Grips.



I got this weird looking mechanical pencil for 50 yen. It's really uncomfortable to hold and the lead that it came with is really scratchy, so I use is solely as a key ring now.



This is a size comparison of all of my different mechanical pencils. As you can probably tell, I love Dr. Grip pens! They're really comfortable, well built and really easy to do pen tricks with.



I have no idea why I bothered taking a picture of these leads :p. I guess the cases look pretty funky and they were also dirt cheap.

First Post!

Welcome to my new blog! It's my first blog and I'm kinda looking forward to see how it all works out. It'll probably take a while for me to get used to this as it's all new to me (actually most of it pretty easy to work out as it's similar is to posting on forums and facebook) but I'll try my best to post every day.

As I've just came back from my holiday to Japan I'll be posting pics and info on some of the stuff I got there over the next couple of days.
