So, I was getting a tablet for my birthday (July 26), and I wouldn't mind a little help.
If you stay within the $200 range will the tablet still have a good quality about it?
Also, does anybody know good brands for tablets? I know about Wacom, and such. I'm just wondering if anyone has a personal favorite brand.

Music Sharing
Grizzly Bear
I found this band a few weeks ago. They're from Brooklyn, and they've been together since 2004, I believe. Their latest album Veckatimest, is really good. I like almost every song on it. They sound like this beautiful boy choir, or something. At least that's what I think of when I hear their music, it's just so well put together. My favorites from Veckatimest, are: Fine for Now, Southern Point, Two Weeks, and While You Wait for the Others.

The Novembers
They're pretty awesome. They're a Japanese band that have this kind of chill, indie/punk feel to them. I was getting sick of looking for Visual-kei bands because most Visual-kei/Oshare-kei vocalists have terrible voices, truth to be told. There are good ones, but I feel as if I was falling out with them. So at the moment I'm focusing on the regular rock musicians. They have two good albums (from what I know.) Picnic is amazing so far, I highly recommend them. My favorites off of that album are: Kowareru, Ama Retto, and Bokura no Himei.

Coaltar of the Deepers
Somebody's got to listen to them, their music is so euphoric, and ambient. I'm hoping somebody will give them a try. They are classified with the Shoegazer genre, a lot of different melodies and rhythms are incorporated into their music, I think they have very original content, and their approach to music is wild. They span so many different genres. My favorite album by them is Yukari Telepath, though I love every one I have by them. My favorite tracks off of Yukari Telepath: Water Bird, Hedorian Forever, Aquarian Age, Carnival, Evil Line, and Deepless.

Yeah, but give it a chance you might like what you hear from one of these bands.

Books
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess: After having numerous people recommend it to me, and hearing about it quite a bit, I picked it up. I finished this book, and it was delightful! It was real horrorshow. I loved the invented slang. I thought it was creative that the author borrowed from Russian language and turned it into his own terms. Even though Alex is an evil, little character I still like him; there's something about him that is enjoyable. I like the questioning of choices and morals that the book brings up, and it seems like it doesn't take itself too seriously. It's a short, nice read, and I'm currently re-reading it again. I don't know why I enjoyed this book so much, I just did. The movie was fun to watch as well.

Portions from a Wine-Stained Notebook by Charles Bukowski: Currently reading, I only read the first story, but I like his style so far.

Hot Zone by Richard Preston: I haven't gotten to that yet, but it's about Ebola, so I thought it would be a fun read. My friend, Jessica is letting me borrow it.

Yes, that's me.
The signs say:
What did the number line say to the mathematician?
Don't worry, you can count on me. :)
I came up with it randomly one day, it's probably been said before though.
I spelled mathematician wrong. ;A;

Sorry for the long entry, suppose my gulliver is just full of thoughts tonight; could be from me being all on my oddy knocky.
(it's fun.)
