Had a wonderful birthday party today for Lu, and watched a few hours of the anime show "Fruits Basket" with YaYa. God help me, I actually think the show is pretty good. Well written, funny, and not at all handcuffed by its odd premise.

This morning Lisa woke us all up early, before 6:30. I came downstairs & she said to me "You have to leave early to go pick up the birthday treats." Still half awake & confused, I said "For whose birthday?" Oopsie. LuLus bday is Sat. I have not forgotten; every moment of my spare time has been spent prepping for her party. But that one comment is what she'll remember & tell her therapist in 30 yrs. Guaranteed.

The New Nook
I really like it. It navigates easily like the Nook Color and delivers a crisp, distinct text. It's much smaller and lighter than I expected. While the screen size is more than adequate, the overall dimensions might turn some people off. In my experience ereaders are still in a transition phase. People want it to mimic the physical experience of a book, and I'm not sure the petite size accomplishes that. But I read a chapter or two on it today and found it just as enjoyable as the old Nook. I'm actually hoping things improve around here so I can pick up a pair for my two oldest kids for Christmas.
