Torrefaction

Corel's selling the newest version of Painter (IX.5, they're calling it.  Shouldn't that be IX.V?) for $200 through the end of May, marked down from its usual $450 or so.  You get the full version for the upgrade price.  Painter is the caddilac of natural-media paint tools so if you're into that you should check it out.  Just remember it goes back up to full price on June 1.

On an unrelated note, what does this say about my laziness?  I got a frozen "seafood scampi" dinner (Stouffer's, I think).  It wasn't bad - decent noodles & sauce, pretty ok shrimp, and bad little scallops--tough and really fishy smelling.  After eating one I thought "ok, I'll just toss the other 4 scallops and just eat the shrimp and noodles."  Then I thought "I don't want the scallops in the kitchen trash making the whole place smell like fish!"  So, rather than have to take the trash out after tossing them, I just went ahead and ate the rubbery little beasties.  Soooo lazy.
