Well, I have my computer back up and running, but it’s still acting a bit fussy. The scanner (which used to work 2 months ago) doesn’t scan anymore. The cd burner is on the fritz, and I can’t copy anything from my second drive to the other one, which means that all of my files are out of reach for now. I’ve spent the last week or so with no music to listen to and no drawings to work on. My OC files for the four seasons are on that drive, and I’ve been wanting to work on them for the past few days, but I can’t get them off of that drive. So, I’ve been really down, because I know what I want to draw on them, but I can’t. It hasn’t helped that it’s been really rainy here (my sunroof leaks. It collects in the roof of my car and then gushes into my lap when I go downhill). So, last night, I pulled out some of my old drawings I was going to make into t-shirts and started coloring them. I would have gotten a lot further if the scanner would scan, but alas… I had to trace it in with the tablet instead, which also took quite a long time. The plus side is that I got to draw some, so I feel better.
I’ll be moving again at the end of October. It’s an upstairs apartment a little ways down the road, about double the size of mine now, and safer. It even has a back door and balcony with stairs, so I have an escape route if needed. Morla and Tajjie will have loads more space, and a big play area. There’s a ‘dining room’ (it’s really a ‘dining area’ off of the kitchen (which has drawers and a real sink, neither of which I have now) that I think I’ll make into a kitty play place. I’ll even be able to install my wall shelves (the place I’m in now has steel plating in the walls, presumably for fire protection)!
Jared was at my Mom’s house yesterday, and he picked up the working monitor for me. It’s a 19 inch, and SO heavy! I love it though, because I can set my res to 1024 and not have to lean too far forward to read the words. It does take up a lot of my desk space though. One of these days when I can afford it, I’ll get a new computer desk. Right now though, it’s not all that important.
I also have to get my butt in gear and update this damn page. I need to fix the wishlist for Christmas, need to post my poems, need to get the quotes running, need to get my friends up in a ‘cast of characters’, need to add more links, and I also want to do another non-php art site sometime. Something to exhibit my drawings without letting people in on my blog. Anything you guys want to see here?
