design

Why is it so hard anymore? Perhaps sitting here for 2.5 months without doing any serious work has turned my brain to molasses.

My check should help, hopefully. Things I want to do with it:

1) Dedicated iMac-based workstation, including Adobe CS3, scanner, and printer.
2) AIGA membership. I'm sick of being isolated.
3) At least one design magazine subscription.
4) Domain registration and hosting for a professional website.

God, I feel depressed.
