With some of my birthday money, which I still have not managed to spend all of, I bought some stuff from Cass Art's website. I initially went on there as they sent me an email about a ridiculously good deal they had going on Poscas. Which it is good! But I flip flopped about whether I actually wanted any, given I haven't been painting even when I have been doing art (I know they're not for that, but they are paint markers, and this is how my brain works). So I ended up buying some more alcohol markers, and two pads of A4 cartridge paper, as all these things were also on offer. And I am easily tempted? IDK.
I got the markers because, although they are not refillable, I am annoyed with my Spectrum Noir ones at the moment. Partly because they're drying out very fast, and partly because if you live in the UK, getting the refills is next to impossible. So they might as well not be refillable, either.
I got a set of twelve of Cass Art's own brand, as well as a set of two blacks and a blender. I've never had a blender before, so I am excite!
I tried the markers out last night and they are some lovely colours - there's pretty much a rainbow, plus a brown and a black (so now I have three blacks, lol, but I don't think you can buy them as singles, otherwise I would have bought a single blender. Evidently, I will have to do a lot of black and white art). And the barrels are triangular, which makes them easier to hold - Spectrum Noir barrels on the classic markers are hexagonal and quite chunky, which makes them uncomfortable to use a lot of the time.

In other news, there is no other news, except that I am working my way through Mass Effect 2, and appreciating some of the changes from 1, but getting annoyed with the info pop-ups on the screen. But all in all, I am mostly enjoying it.
