Title: A sprinkling of Penguin Dust
Hi from the road, kids. I got a new toy. No, it's NOT a Speak-and-Spell (thank you, Mike). It is, however, extremely convenient for pounding out random Penguin Dust entries. Yes. Now I can toddle over to the coffee shop and Powerbook PD rants to my heart's content.
The thing is more a replacement for my crusty old P100 box, which, despite serving me faithfully for many months, is just that much too slow to do any graphics. This I can take with me and twiddle with Photoshop to amuse myself.
I was talking to Cynthia yesterday and mentioned my new purchase. Once she realized I bought a Mac, of all things, I could hear her rolling her eyes. Especially since it's an iBook. "It looks like something from Fisher Price!" she protested. "It's a, a... you take it in the bathtub with you, Joy. It's a kiddie toy." Cynthia does not like Macs. I told her that she since she likes Windows, or at least doesn't run screaming from it, she has no room to talk. Heh heh heh.
So... toys. Yay. More fun stuff: I'm starting a life drawing class tonight. About time, I know. I think this is going to be fun. Now I must go and buy art supplies. A report from the class will follow.
