......Okay, the base is still the same, but some of the equipment is brand spanking new. As an early birthday present, my dad got me a new laptop. For months (maybe even a year!), I've had to have my brother share his laptop with me since that was the only way I could use Microsoft Word to get any writing done. Now that he's taken the time to install Word, and Photoshop, and an antivirus (and added a few movies and shows I've been wanting to see, too!), I'm working with some brand new hardware that I've already taken a liking to. It's got a few kinks, and it doesn't seem to like being online much (doesn't like Torch, but that's too bad), but I'm sure it'll get over it sooner or later.

I'm back to working on that short story for Meerkat Press (no, I haven't forgotten about it), and I'm aiming to have it done ten days before the April 30th deadline.

Stay tuned.
