Parents

For some reason, when making this daily flash, the only series that came to my mind were ones where the protagonist does have parents who appear onscreen. Strange.

Anyway, I started watching Sketchbook a few days ago, and I like it. Coincidentally, as far as I’ve seen, there are no parents in this series either. There was one episode where I thought there was a parent, but it turned out to be an older sister. How suspicious…

Tablet

My dad decided to buy me a tablet yesterday, even though I was a bit indifferent about getting one. Just like the time he bought this laptop (which I am currently using). He was just like “Hey, do you want to buy one of those computer drawing things?” and I was like “I dunno” and then he took me to Staples to buy one. It’s an Intuos 3 4×6.

It was pretty expensive, like $200ish. I have no idea why my parents insist on buying expensive things, but I guess it’s because I never really buy anything anyway (and this is supposedly a Christmas present, even though it’s not even December yet). Apparently it’s for professionals, which makes me feel sorta bad (well, maybe not bad, but I can’t find a word) for owning one because I don’t know enough about tablets to really appreciate all the extra… uhh… whatever special things it has. It’s like giving a super high-speed internet connection to someone who only uses it to check email. Oh well, it’s pretty nice.

It took me awhile to get used to, and I basically just experimented with using it in Flash. I think the first thing I actually wrote with the tablet is what you see in the second frame, and that was before I realized I had to install something to make the tablet work properly. So anyway, this daily flash is basically me drawing and writing random things with the tablet. And it has 113 frames.

Laptops

Well, yesterday I wanted to go to Staples to buy new earphones because my good ones broke, and my dad was like “let’s buy a laptop.” Normally, I’d say that I want to wait until college to get one, because by that time, the laptops are probably going to be a lot better and cost a lot less. But apparently it was my uncle who suggested it because I use his computer all the time on weekdays and he wants me to get my own. So now I have a new laptop! It has 4GB of RAM, which is like… 8 times more than what I have on my desktop computer, which is awesome.
