currently listening to: broken bones by birds of tokyo
so i told you all (all none of anyone who reads this… seriously. does ANYONE read these?) that i got a bamboo graphics pad, i have been using it for a bit of fun, adding silly props to some of my photos and the like. this afternoon i decided to try it out while making a new header for the blog. the one up at the moment is a bit of a trial, i wanted to see how text looked, and what colors would and would not work. so expect a new one some time over the next week, uni work permitting.

ps, and as if you don’t love the mac ads? yeah sure, they are biased, and yeah sure they used justin long cause he’s young, hip and ‘with it’, but they are funny! seriously, they are
