Okay, this is a piece of news that will make some people go "OMG!" whilst making other go "WTF?" - here it comes: I've bought a Wacom Intuos3 A5 tablet. Yes, that's it.
If you're one of the OMG-folks, I can only agree - it's abso:lute:ly awesome (too bad there isn't a lute-emoticon). I'm not very trained yet, but it's friggin' nice to work and play with. Having it around encourages you to learn.
If, on the other hand, you're going "WTF? Wacom? Intuos? A5? Whattes all doze wurds meen?" I can only recommend that you get acquainted with this piece of magic. Google it. Borrow it. Buy it. Steal it. Anything.
Okay. That concludes the newest of my ever exciting and ego-centered journals. Bye.
