Printers
Posted 13 years agoI really despise printer companies. Why the hell do they sell printers for less than the cost of an ink cartridge? And why do they manufacture small (cheaper) cartridges, if nobody sells them? They force you to spend at least $30 every time you buy something from them. Ink cartridges cost less than $2 to manufacture. They're making a 1500% profit.... fucking jerks.

To Australia!
Posted 13 years agoSo Australia is outsourcing to the US for construction and mining workers. They're even trying to make it easier for them to emigrate by changing assessment laws. Australia is actually having an employment boom while we're having a shortfall. Good time to switch countries.

Posted 14 years agoI hate having no money. Trans Siberian Orchestra, the most awesome Christmas music ever, is performing this weekend in Dallas, but tickets are $92 minimum. On a side note, I am going to pre-register for Furry Fiesta today, which may or may not be a good first convention to go to, but I guess I'll find out.

Posted 14 years agoWell shit, my trial period for PaintTool SAI ended. The worst part is
that with winter break about to start, I'm going to have lots of free
time to draw, but now no software with which to do it.
