Alright, after spending few days intensely mulling over two laptop choices I finally went ahead and placed the order. Hopefully I can go pick it up next weekend when I just happen to need to head down to the state over to pick up some of the belongings.

$600 laptop is by no means a miracle solution to all of my woes, but at least I won't have to watch a slideshow every time I open up Photoshop. I also purchased a small sketchbook to try getting back into traditional work, which was long overdue.

The new room I'm staying in is still currently being renovated, with most of the floor still bare-boned and carpetless. They say that they'll get it done this weekend but promises are meant to be broken. The bedding area and A/C are at least done, but it's annoying paying to live in what is essentially a storage shed.
