Wacom Woes and Standup Shows

So my Wacom tablet, most likely only a year old and never mistreated, has decided to make my digital art process impossible. It turns off randomly while I am using it, and seems to think that my pen is a mouse most of the time, making the "small box as screen" equation useless. I'm constantly unplugging and plugging it back in as these things happen, which most definitely cannot be good for the connector(s).

The tablet was an investment I made when I finally got my laptop, an investment that would last me at least three years. I don't want to start thinking about getting a new one if I'm not ready to upgrade...and I'm not. So, for the time being, I'm just going to have to live with it.

In other, more exciting news, I have my first gig as a standup comedian. Hopefully I'll have enough material, but I'm told I don't have to go for much longer than five minutes (personally, I'll be shooting for ten to fifteenish - depending on how much material I deem good enough and how much people seem to enjoy my presence.). I'm excited, and also a little nervous. I've never really put myself up in front of a lot of people alone and asked them to judge me based on my performance.

It's happening at my sister's opening...a showcase of her art and the art of two other seniors in the UM art program. The title: D'un Modele Standard (which I believe is French for "Garden Variety"). My parents will be there, and hopefully some other people I know will want to come. The date: Saturday, April 1st at 2255 S. Industrial Hwy. in Ann Arbor - from 6 to 10 P.M.

As every math freak once said: Be there, or B^2.

Hello Adam, been a while since I've posted, but still read your material. I know you're doing many things at once(obviously), just wondering if there is more Serializer in the works. Great story thus far. Good luck with your stand up!!
