Feeling flush with the arrival of another advance check, I picked up a new Wacom Graphire2 tablet from Micro Center last night. This replaces the monstrously huge Wacom I got last year, the one that neither fits anywhere on my desk or lap, nor works with OS X (for it uses an ancient ADB connector). I had been pleasantly surprised to catch myself doodling again while working on the book, and in the last month or so have been receiving a smattering of random ego-massage that has been encouraging me to mess around with cartooning again, so I figured it was worth dropping a c-note on the thing, especially since I should be able to recoup most or all of that by eBaying the giant tablet.
Design kudos to Wacom for building the penholder directly into the tablet, rather than relying on a separate, freestanding penholder thingy which I would permanently misplace minutes into ownership.
I haven't played with it very much yet, but you will probably know, once I do.
Got up a little after 9, due to the fact that I am a little sick with a cold or its functional equivalent. That's not too bad, but I should make it a goal to be outside my bedroom door every morning before my housemates have all left for work. That is the cue that I'm slipping again.
