Things! And Stuff!

lokiofsassgaardGot my new tablet in today. It's amazingly huge and I love it. My sketchbook is 9x12, so it shouldn't be too much different to draw with, but it is. It's only the active area of the tablet that's 9x12; the whole thing is actually quite a bit larger than that, and now I'm just sort of not sure what to do with it all. Also, up until now, I've only ever purchased Graphire/Sapphire tablets. This is the first Intuos I've ever purchased. But since I'm really rough on my tablets, I've got a whole bunch of extra pens, which I've hitherto kept as spares, because traditionally, that's the bit people tend to lose or break. Not me! Only, they don't work with the Intuos. So now I've got a bunch of spare pens. I'll keep them anyway, because I'm awful with tablets and will run this one into the ground, hopefully much later than sooner. I don't share desk space with Robin Hood anymore though, so that should help it stay alive longer. I may also try to track down a spare stylus or two, just to be safe.
Speaking of desk space, there are some new developments there as well. I've purchased a wifi adapter for my computer. Actually, I went on a huge retail therapy spree last night, and feel much better for it. For a few reasons. First: whee! new stuff! Secondly, it means I can move my computer OUT OF THE COMMON AREA. Robin Hood and I talked briefly about it, and once my adapter gets here, we're going to move his computer to the spare room, and mine back to the bedroom. This is because there's not a whole bunch of room in the area I've set up as my bat cave, and my computer is twice the size of Robin Hood's. It also means I can move all my art and crafty stuff back there permanently, instead of having to camp out at an uncomfortable desk every time I knit something off a pattern. It ALSO means I can start that porny fanart blog I've been wanting to start, but haven't because drawing porn in the living room was just a big no.
My shopping spree last night was made possible by a small Amazon gift card balance I'd forgotten I had. In addition to the wifi adapter, I also got some new floss and fabric for cross-stitch projects. I'm going to attempt to finish the one I've been working on, but I've managed to miscount the stitches again and it makes me want to cry. I may just quietly forget about it and start something new. IDK.
So there's my week. I now get to spend the next few days anticipating the arrival of parcels, which is always fun. And not even in that snarky sarcastic way.
Also, THOR 2 TRAILER AAAAAAAAHHH!!
