I never have enough to say.
I did end up getting the Wacom tablet. I got one of the larger Bamboo models. It's neat, but I'm afraid it's going to be little more than an expensive toy for me rather than a frequently-used tool, as I'm quickly finding my hand-eye coordination lacking. In other words, I can't draw for beans.
In other news, I've been playing Fable III a lot. Pretty decent game, except that it continues in the Fable tradition of having an almost worthless map system. In fact, Fable III's map system is arguably worse than that of Fable II. In Fable II, it was essentially impossible to easily view the relations between major map areas, but a given area was mapped fairly accurately, and provided markers for your current location, etc. By contrast, in Fable III, the layout of the maps doesn't reflect "reality" at all. Well, that's a bit severe; a few features here and there vaguely resemble the actual layout of the area. That said, it's not very useful for general navigation. Perhaps the makers feel that is an important aspect of the game. I could do without it.
