So my computer just took a shit. I was going to paypal to send the payment for the Cintiq I just won on ebay, and the screen just blinks out. There was really no warning. Damn graphics card went out. So it's at the Laptop Help Desk at school, hopefully it's got a new one in it by Monday, and hopefully all my shit is ok on the HD. I got work to do dammit. I can't afford to start over on all my school projects, and it'd suck even more to lose the painting I was working on.

On the up side of today, (or yesterday for you actually, but all one day for my night-walker self) I did pay for the the Wacom Cintiq later on in the day. Hopefully that will be here by Monday too. I'm chomping at the bit already to try it out. Such an upgrade from the litte bitty 4x6 I was using. I quite literally wore that dinky thing out; the cord is fraying, the rubber grip on the pen is gone, the paint was rubbed down to the plastic, and there was dust ingrained around the corners of the tablet under the clear protective shield. Rust in pieces trusty tablet, you've been replaced with a younger sexier model with more whistles and bells than you can even dream of.

*edit*
Apparently, the contrast on my computer screen must have been waaaaay off, because I'm noticing some huge issues with some of my paintings looking from this computer. That's ghey.
