No luck. I could go to the library, but I lent my card to (a reliable) someone and I won't be able to bring any books home.

Well, I am a bundle of pent-up creativity, and I used to draw and have done some painting in my time. Sadly, though, I haven't had time for either of those hobbies in years. (Well, no, I did some drawing last summer. But that's irrelevant.) Unfortunately, I can't help you with your internet supplies request. I hope it works out for you, though!
