fixed

i'm not what you'd call 'an early adapter', but neither am i a late adapter. i usually land somewhere in the middle. trying something new once it seems proven and i've heard good reviews from reputable people.

this past weekend i bought an eReader. i'm pretty excited about it. i felt reluctant because i like books. i like the smell of books, the feel of books, i like browsing through books at book stores, i like keeping books as mementos. so for all these reasons, and more, i was not interested in an eReader for a long time. until recently, when i was looking at our bookshelf full of books and thought we were running out of space. i started wondering if my nostalgic feeling towards books was really worth the trade off.

so i chose a kobo touch, and so far i really like it. it's actually really compatible with my current life style, because i always found reading a book while nursing was too difficult. éamon was always moving, his arms and legs would get in the way, i'd lose my place, i'd have to set down my book quickly and lose my page. but with the kobo, i can hold it in one hand, i can turn the page with the touch of a finger, i can put it down and pick it up again right where i left off, it's great. i'm very pleased. AND often times the eBook is cheaper than the paperback or hardcover.

needless so say, i've been doing a lot more reading these days. that, and the fact that i've reduced my time watching netflix. our internet bill was super big for february, and i was going to call and increase our bandwidth, but it turns out that's no longer necessary because of my reduced tv time :p yay for self-discipline!

i try, i've tried, i'm still trying
