Moleskine! Also some other stuff.

Yeah! Pictured there is the first drawing I've done in my new Moleskine sketchbook (From Amazon, for $12).

It really just started out as the central "body" sphere, from which I just started adding details and components and whatnot until I got bored of doing so. I have no idea how to draw water tanks, so improvised.

Now, on to other stuff.

I recently got a free pair of Skullcandy Icon headphones from the "grand reopening" of CU's bookstore. I'm using them now and they're decent - I prefer headphones over earbuds just for comfort reasons.

I also picked up some TUL mechanical pencils and Paper Mate Black Pearl erasers this past weekend while I was at home. I've used one of the TUL pencils before and really like the way it feels when you're writing with it. Haven't been disappointed thus far. The Black Pearls have been recommended to me and they were $1.99 for a pair of two, so I figured I might as well.

Speaking of being at home, I played some Halo: Reach as well (Amazon's currently got a promotional offer going - order Reach and you get $20 in credit towards your next video game purchase). The campaign storyline was fantastic - I think it's true that the previous iterations have been very Halo fan-oriented, with a lot of terminology, etc. Reach, on the other hand, went for a much more human story, and it really comes through. The customization system (You earn credits for doing things, which can be spent on new armor permutations, etc.) and daily challenges are very well-implemented and I was actually motivated to play multiplayer by some of the challenges (Of note - I very rarely play a game seriously. I'm much more likely to screw around.). All in all, an excellent conclusion to Bungie's Halo arc of games.
