Hi guys <3 I am here to let you in on some updates and regarding the art work I owe to people here on Weasyl.

Life has been a bit better, things are starting to slow down, but ever so slowly. I passed my current class for my Photography degree and now have started my math class. For the next 6 weeks I'll be doing "Elementary Algebra"...something I've never been that great at understanding, but that's what the tutors are for. Now that I'm in this current math class, I have more time for art work now seeing to how I don;t have a million photo shoot assignments to do during the week, so school being the main reason I've had no chance on working on the things I owe, well there's school and then personal issues here at home with my grandparents and so on.

NOW for the computer issues... *copies and pastes info from FA journal*

I am haveing some major problems with my current pc as I am using it right now to send you al these updates.

I will be purchasing my brand new lap top sometime later this next week, I would've gotten it sooner, but I was having problems with my bank account and they ended up getting closed, but I recently just got them re opened and problems are now resolved thanks to the wonderful, amazing banker that helped me through the whole thing <3 Anyways, read on...

(posted on FA 3/20/2013) School came through and sent me 3 unexpected checks a bit early and they couldn't have been sent at any better time, cuz my pc is literally about to fucking die right now...We have a family friend named Sparky (nick name lol) and he owns his own little computer repair company, my grandpa talked to him on the phone earlier and asked him about the laptop and he still has held for me, ALSO Sparky had been told how my current pc has been acting and he said to pop the hard drive out and bring it in, so we did. He then took my HD and placed it into one of his many spare computer towers he uses to repair other people hard drives and and discovered the problem on why it's been acting the way it has recently, with all the crashing and turning off on it's own and so on. He basically told me that the hard drive is no good anymore, it's out dated and extremely old, it's from 2005-2006 and ya...you get the picture. He also noticed that after a while it started to feel pretty warm and he said it was starting to over heat? :/ He said if I had had it any longer then this week until I get my new laptop, it probably would've fried very very soon, which isn't good at all and of course can be very dangerous. Since it gets so hot in my room during the summer and early spring time, the major heat makes the hard drive go nuts and makes run harder then it should. Now for the part that's upsetting me...

SECOND MAIN REASON FOR NO ART WORK RECENTLY I can't get my tablet to work anymore on this computer, the tablet is brand new and I've only had it for a little over a month, got it the day before Valentine's Day. I had taken it in to Sparky to see if maybe he could figure out the issue and he did. The computer is the problem, he plugged the tablet in to his laptop and it works fine, it's likely because of my hard drive, the hard drive is so fried it won't detect the software for my tablet anymore, that also being the reason more then likely why the pen pressure issues were going on so much these past couple of weeks. So I am not able to do anything digital until I get my laptop later this week. Sparky seems to be way more legit then stupid Data Doctors...AND WON'T CHARGE ME UP THE ASS...because he's a family friend, I got it looked at for free. I am however given the choice to decide if I would like Sparky to fix my hard drive or replace with a new one to this current pc once I get my new one, so I can keep them both, but I'm not too sure right now, I'm mainly just in need of the new computer.

Sparky did tell me that if I just stick to doing school work and minimize my internet usages and have less browsers and windows open, it should be ok until I get my new computer at least. So basically, I have to baby the hell out of this thing right now until later this week. So ya, no art until then. Just letting you guys know.

So ya just letting you all know whats been going on. I will give you all an update when I purchase my laptop! Hope you're all doing good.
