Schoolwork, PAH.

There's one final paper done, polished, printed out. *collapses*

And one more first draft done (but probably good enough for how much I feel like doing).

Must go find summaries for the books I'm not going to get read by tomorrow.

I want to post Auber. Wantwantwant. Dishes must be done before fun, though.

MAN, end of the semester blows, don't it?

Productive day, strangely enough

Today, I've...

- completely finished one paper
- finished the first draft of another
- read summaries for books I won't get completely read by tomorrow
- done dishes
- watched Caitirin make bread
- put my laundry away
- watched Advent Children (squee to follow)
- posted Auber

Hm. Not bad for a Sunday.

I'm tagged! terse_scribe tagged me for the five random things meme. Let's see if I can think of any that are entertaining.

1. Whenever I eat Hershey's kisses, I ball up the tinfoil wrapper so that you can only see the color on the outside, and none of the silver insides. Then I collect them on my desk and arrange them symmetrically until I finally manage to throw them out.

2. My first CD was The Smashing Pumpkins' "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness." People at school (this was around 6th or 7th grade) reacted disbelievingly when I said I had music with swears in it.

3. My first fanfic was Pokémon, written over a Christmas break while I ate lots of Hershey's kisses and walnuts. The fanfic was my attempt at an episode-like adventure. I submitted it to an archive, where they said you could have swears if they were appropriate (the example I remember was Ash saying "Fuck!" if he got shot.) I told them all mine had was an "oh my God", and they rejected it. At the time, it did not occur to me that they were being sarcastic.

4. For some reason, I tend to like all of the literary works that the critics traditionally don't; examples are Titus Andronicus, The London Merchant, The Conscious Lovers, the works of Poe...

5. I'm really bad at games involving strategy. I enjoy playing them, but MAN, do I ever suck at them. I'm better at "random knowledge" games.

Now, about Advent Children. OMFGSQUEE.

( Cut 'cause this post is getting a little long )

OMG second post in one day!

So, anybody out there know anything about tablets?

I want to ask my parents for one for Christmas, but I know nothing about them. I've dropped a comment to the illustrious ponderosa121 to see what she uses, but I wanted to ask you guys too.

I've been looking at Wacom because they're the only ones I've ever actually heard of. I've found two kinds:

The Graphire

The Intuos

The Intuos can be found on Amazon for about $160; the Graphire seems to be the same on both Amazon and the Wacom site. The Graphire seems more apt for my amature needs, but the reviews on Amazon are for the most part horrendous. However, I don't know if these people are picker than I would be... or if they just don't know how to use the software or something. None of them were terribly thorough in their reviews (or if they were, their situation was different from mine). Other than those, I don't even know what kind of tablets are out there.

Anyone have any advice?
