Nook!

I have a LOT of blog updates to do but it takes a lot of time.  In a quick summary:  went climbing, went surfing, started doing track workouts again, went to Maine, and went to Yosemite.  Someday I'll get to all of that.

For now, I got a Nook.  I signed up for the GREs but wouldn't study because a GRE study book was too heavy to carry on the airplane (oh yeah I went to Rhode Island too), so Mom and I went to Barnes and Noble to get a nook.  I am generally not so psyched to get lots of new technology just for the sake of getting something cool (I am NOT an iphone fan as Josh knows quite well, except I do borrow his from time to time and the camera is pretty awesome).  So a nook was not something on my list of things to buy.

But it's awesome.  I think.  I can have tons of books on airplane flights and all I need to carry is the nook!  I didn't realize how nice that would be.  The downside is I spent tons of $$ on books.  People will say things like oh you should read this and normally I wouldn't because I'd have to find time to go to the library or buy it (I still love the library btw).  Now, I go online and the next thing I know I have a new book to read.  Eventually, hopefully, my rate of e-book buying will go down, but for now I am going to enjoy all the reading I started doing.  :)  Also, I don't like looking at lit up screens all the time.  Nook isn't like that.  E-ink is awesome.

Airplane rides (why do I insist of flying across the country so often) are a lot more awesome now!
