So, why am I getting myself a b-day present? Well, when I was growing up my parents would never get me what I actually wanted...not quite sure why. And when they gave me money as a present I would get criticized when I bought something I actually wanted. In essence, 'You're wasting your money on junk.' Well now that I'm an 'adult' and have a job...it really IS my money. So I spend it how I see fit or responsibly, for better or worse. Typically it's on bills...and buying small stuff for myself (such as eating out...really gotta stop doing that). But at this time of the year I can pin justification on a purchase using my b-day as an excuse!
I've been waffling on what I want to get for a bit. I was thinking a set of copic pens (black ink pens, not color markers) and a light box. I've been informed that I shouldn't buy the pens for myself.... But I looked around on dickblick.com (danihana told me about the website, mucho gracias!) and I saw a couple of decent looking light boxes. The Artograph Lightracer Light Box and the Gagne Porta-Trace Thin Panel Light Box. I like the larger size on both models...but I'd love to get dani's opinion on them. The first's larger size is bigger than the second's larger size. But I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the tilted work surface. The second is extremely portable and flat so it'd be easy on my wrist because my forearm would be level with my hand, though I'm not sure it would be hanging off the edge all that much. They're both about the same price too...so I dunno.
OR
A PSP. I've seen several games that have really caught my interest. I can even list 'em and their prices. Yes, I'm a consumer whore and a technophile. And rather greedy. I admit it freely. I'm a flawed human being...but who isn't! ANY WAYS, here's the list (and no, I'm not making gift requests, merely posting this for my own future use and reference). The light boxes are a far cheaper choice...but I love tech so....
PSP 3000 series ($169.99)
Star Ocean: First Departure ($29.99)
Star Ocean: Second Evolution ($39.99)
Final Fantasy: Crisis Core ($19.99)
Warriors of the Lost Empire ($29.99)
Dungeon & Dragons: Tactics ($19.99)
Mana Khemia: Student Alliance ($29.99)
Loco Roco 2 ($19.99)
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions ($19.99)
Dragonball Z: Shin Budokai ($19.99)
I certainly wouldn't get all of that PSP stuff at once. I'm not quite nutters yet. I'm not even getting any of this stuff this month...besides, I still have to decide what I'd like to get after all. But...that can wait until next month.
EDIT: If I get a light box, I will be getting the Artograph Lightracer II.
