gonzaiI'm going out on limbs today - LJ was my first 'just do this already', now two more.
II - I bought a netbook computer. My first portable type computing device (I refuse to get on the telephone bandwagon, pun intended.) After much pondering, shopping, trying out, waiting around, researching, financial scrutiny, etc. I settled on an ASUS 1005HA-P. It was slightly over my self-imposed price range, but not much; and it has XP and it isn't black, which were also big considerations for me. Lest you think I'm a complete idiot, it also has a higher-end processor, excellent battery life, excellent reviews from both pros and users and all the doodads I really need. It should arrive late next week. Very exciting. And a big dent in the wallet.
III - about that wallet dent thing - I submitted my artwork to the new cafe across the street from work in the hopes that they'll be interested in hanging my art there. They intend to rotate artists every month or so with a concentration on locals; I work across the street, my art is G-rated, and it's a lot better than what's hanging right now, so hopefully an approval will be forthcoming, followed by a few sales. Fingers crossed.
