Microsoft Ink Desktop
Now Paul has probably done some post about ink stuff Cos of his tablet pc but I thought I'd show a little of why my tablet (wacom graphire 4) is absolutely lovely when using vista, not only am I writing this entry with a pen and tablet, but when l'm feeling lazy I'll use it to browse the web and so on, the other day I was given a link to download ink desktop and thought meh ok *downloads*
I then decided to use it, and wow it's so handy, as you can see from the picture below :) my tablet is so amazing thanks to the vista tablet drivers :D

A little bit of drawing...or is it doodling
Ok well in honour of having work to do, I'm getting into the mood of drawing again, so I've just been doing a few pictures to keep myself busy. Now I know they ain't perfect, but this is just to speed up my drawing a bit.

Whatcha think? comments are welcome, I'm always wanting to improve them ^_^ bunny bunny guy was like a 5 min sketch where as I spent a little longer on the other two. And couldn't be arsed with perfecting the strawberry (mouth yellow bits etc) as I was being HASSLED to play a game :P.
EDIT: added my freaky cow, it's kinda cool but it's scarying me O_o.
Play-Asia New Year Sale
Well yes it may be late for a sale from Play-Asia but they are Asian based and the new year isn't for a while yet, so to celebrate it they're having a sale (altho they seem to have a sale type thing most of the time) anywho so I decided to check out their website yesterday, and this was before they sent out the email to people on their mailing list, so lucky me got pretty much the pick from everything before it sold out. I feel that I managed to pick up quite a few good things in the sale as well :)
Which included:
Pokemon Green (only old pokemon game I needed :P) for like £2.50!

Klaymen Klaymen (The Neverhood on ps1 :o ) only a fiver :)

A jump postcard book for only £1! (has yet to come out on the DS here yet :P)

Grandia on the GBC (didn't even know there was one on the gameboy :o ) for £1.50

A couple of Viewtiful Joe trading arts figures only 77p each!

And then Charlotte wanted the Biohazard stamp collection thingy which cost 12 quid! but she owes me the money for them now :p

Also among the things I got you can get fucking Genji, Ridge Racer 7 or Gundam on the PS3 for 15 quid! yet of course they won't ship to here or they'll be closed down, grr...although from the looks of it Ridge Racer 7 has gone up to full price now, shame as well since it's region free as well :/
There are quite a few cool things in the sale, but I ain't gonna list them all, you'll just have to look through all 170 something pages of the sale like I did, so moo :P.
Katamari on the swing FTW!
Hehe my title rhymes ^_^ cute anywho after looking on Kotaku a lot, I came across an uber cool Katamari Damacy top designed by the guy at Staccato never really checked out his webcomic too much, but I saw his t-shirts and wow I had to get one ^_^ now of course it's not in a girly size top, but it's still cool.

Unlike most of the tops he's designed you can't buy it off of ZeStuff you must buy it directly from him, tis cool if ya ask me :D Uber cool top ^_^.
OMG new belt attack!
Ok well after going to Game On (must write up my entry on that :p) and buying myself a few lovely illustrated Jon Burgerman things I decided to have a look on his website, as it was on my two badges I have ^_^. So I had a look around, then looked at the shop to see if there was anything nice, and of course there was this uber cool belt, made by yummy industries, so I treated myself to one :) as my old belt had gotten trodden on a few times and the buckle mechanism had kinda broken.
It was cute though, as Charlotte got the post, and she immediatley knew it was my belt cos of a cute sticker on the front

The little sticker saying Jon Burgerman was on the front, which is like uber cute ^_^, I also had this little um wolf kid? inside with my belt, both stickers :)
The belt also had a label (weird for a belt if ya ask me) which is made of paper

And the other side of it.

It's cute cos it's says Bugerland ^_^ and his last name is burger-man I'm so simple ._.
Ok and heres the belt in all it's glory, I thought I should use flash more often, so I decided to show it using flash, yeah it was simple, but alot easier for me to upload than tons of pictures :P. Cool huh? It's supposed to glow in the dark as well but well I guess I haven't given it enough sunlight.

First time flash user
Ok well yesterday, being Tuesday I had my first flash tutorial type thing, ok well for 3 hours or whatever it was, it was kinda a waste of time, as they guy was explaining all the tools, which is just photoshop common knowledge mainly, anywho I'm sure it was useful for some people :) and I learnt how to use flash, bar action scripting (main thing I needa learn :P). As there were more people than computers I shared one with Duncan, and we made this together
I did the drawing part, and he animated the sun, as he was busy making a gun in flash at the same time ^_^. Yes it may suck, but for my first thing, it's pretty cool looking :).
And yes I know the sun doesn't get smaller as it goes up ^_^.
