So I haven't updated my journal in quite a while, and I felt like tossing out thoughts in random succession. So here it goes.

I got a new tablet yesterday. It's just a plain ol' Bamboo tablet, but man it steps all over my seven year old wacom graphire that has recently passed away. I absolutely love the zoom wheel and the buttons that allow you to have keystrokes is brilliant (quick undo button, here I come). I was able to fidget around with is yesterday and the pressure sensitivity feels great too. Much more precise. And just to add on, the active area is way bigger. So yay!

Beirut is such an amazing band. Props to ~DaliFlores for havin' me look 'em up. Listen to "La Banlieu".

This upcoming semester, I'm going to take an art class. It's just an intro to art since I'm not an art major (I'm an IT major) so that seems like the closest one for me. I was told earlier by an art major that I'm probably going to be really bored in that class after she saw my art. I might be. What I really want is a painting class. But I kinda get the feeling that I won't be doing any painting in my intro to art class, only drawing with pencil and charcoal. I dunno how I feel about that.

iGoogle is such an amazing idea.

These videos are amazing. Go watch them:
Skate Video
Left Unspoken
Imaginary Friend
Royksopp - Happy Up Here
Joker Spoof
The first one is kinda slow in the beginning but well worth the 6 and a half minutes.
Enjoi.

I've had this slight obsession with Royksopp for a little bit now. They're just so dang good. Awesome drawing music (almost as good as Sigur Ros) and fun to listen to while walking around aimlessly.

That's as far as random thoughts go for right now. Hope you got something out of it.
