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!

Liquid Sun

Some surf sessions are worth skipping a track workout.  And leaving work way too early.

Perfect glass as the sun sets, turning the water into liquid sun. 

You know its barreling when the waves crack as the lip hits the water.

It was totally unexpected.  And beach was totally empty.  I guess nobody else knew either.  Sometimes, things just work out. 

Ending the night eating Peruvian dinner with my boyfriend and a bodyboarding friend.  Good day. 

I like going to work in the morning and smiling.  :)
