The Answer to...um...half of my problems!

Yes, that's right, ladies and gentlemen, the answer has revealed itself.
As some of you know, I've been in a quandary as to whether to draw my drawings by hand or draw on photoshop or some other electronic means. I would do it completely electronically, because that eliminates the middleman (a.k.a. the photocopier), except that drawing with a mouse or (if I'm using a laptop) one of those little track-pad thingies is really hard and doesn't turn usually out so well. So as of yesterday my...well...I'm a guy, so I can't I call it my knight in shining armor, can I? Hmmmm...okay, my princess in shining armor is coming to save the day!
It's name is...the Intuos4. So now I can draw on it as if I were drawing by hand, and it'll go straight into the computer (gosh, do I sound inept to you? Shouldn't I be spouting C++ or something?) and wallah!
So anyway, that should resolve all of my drawing problems. And, with bloggers new thing that they put out where you can put your own picture behind your blog, you shall see...some sort of drawing behind my blog (I know, I know, you're probably banging your head against your desk and saying "You mean you couldn't DO THAT ANYWAY?!")
Anyway, next I need to find some some sort of resolution to the goat grazing on my carpets... and the demon making me late for everything...and the ghost of an angry avocado that I ate haunting my dreams...

The Avocado Capital of the World

Did you know I live in the (self acclaimed) Avocado Capital of the World? That's right. Fallbrook, California is (self acclaimedly) the Avocado Capital of the World. It's an Avocado town. There are people with twenty-five acre groves of avocados. There's a festival for them. It was yesterday. People come from all over (well, all over the county, anyway).
People go around dressed as avocados, they eat gallons and gallons of guacamole, sell avocados, sell avocado skin-made clothing, airplanes fly over and dump avocados on other people.
Okay, so I was embellishing a little. But this town is crazy for avocados. They petitioned for a national avocado day, but then someone told them that avocados don't grow all over the united states. There was a town-wide day of mourning when they heard that.
What's that? Still embellishing? Okay, well, a little. But who cares? That's what the blog's about! I would call it 'Embellishments' if that didn't sound (and look) so much like 'Embezzlements.'
Anyway, I just thought I would share with you that I LOOOOOOVE AVOCADOS! Even though I have never actually gone to the festival (it's too crowded, and I prefer to eat avocados in the safety of my own home).
