Why I want a NOOK

I admit that I'm a a bit of a gadget girl but man oh man do I ever want a Nook! Okay - wait, it's not what you think. Sheesh. A Nook is a this nifty little invention for avid readers like moi! I suppose the when-ever-I-get-a-spare-moment reader could benefit from it, too.
This is a nook

Is it not gorgeous? This little guy will allow me to read books electronically! No more trying to find storage space for all my books - and believe me, there are quite a few. No more papercuts - ok so that may be a slight exaggeration - but it could happen. Really, people, this little gizmo can do for my books would my iPod did for my CD's. We're talking endless shelf space here folks.
The Nook is Barnes and Noble's version of the eReader. I believe Sony has one as does Amazon. But it's the Nook for me. Why:

  •  it's wireless
  • can lend ebooks to other Nook readers for 14 days
  • has wi-fi access
  • it is gorgeous :D
With the Nook, you can simply download the books you would like to read onto your Nook. These are called ebooks. Now, I'm sure the Sony ereader and the Amazon Kindle both have similar capabilities - but this isn't an entry about them. I want a NOOK! Ahem, as I was saying...you can download the ebooks directly from the Barnes and Noble website.AND if you're lucky enough to own one of these dynamos, you can download books for FREE in the Barnes and Noble store! FREE!  You can also play chess and sudoku on your Nook when you need a break from reading, or when you run out of books -if you're like me and never seem to have enough books to read (smile).

The Nook also allows you to adjust the font size. This would be a great tool for readers with vision problems.

Currently retailing for $259, the Nook is the answer to my book storage problem. Not to mention, it would be a lot easier to read a screen then it would be to muffle the noise of turning pages of a secreted novel at a conference. Shhh, that's our little secret.

So dear readers, family and friends, in closing I will leave you with this final thought - my birthday is in about 6 weeks.

Peace,

Golden Haze

There I was...minding my own business (no really, I was - this time) thought I'd do some note taking, some observing (okay maybe not completely minding my own business), get some ideas for some posts...and the craziest thing happened. I started noticing a few people walk by my table, look at me - stare at me really, some snickered, some outright laughed. I was thinking sheesh, what's up? No one said anything - just looked at me, looked down at my table, looked at me, laughed or chuckled and walked away...that was until this guy walked over and sat down next to me. Immediately, my internal alert system went into overdrive!!! STRANGER DANGER!!! Then he says the craziest thing to me... Stranger: Hey, yeah so are you here regularly?  (ALARM IS GETTING LOUDER)  Me: Excuse me? Stranger: Nah, I'm just saying if you're here like on the reg, and you're bold enough to advertise the merch I'm straight going to switch my loyalty to you.  Me: DAFUQ!  (INTER...

Oscar Chronicles - All By Myself

  Hola, mis amigos. I'm not going to ask if you missed me because - well, I already know you did. But more than that, I'm not going to ask because I'm sad, angry and hungry. Okay, perhaps I'm always interested in some snacks...Anyway, your Oscar is sad. Why? Is because a couple of weeks ago mi persona favorito decided to remodel his room. No really! He took all of the things out of the room - even my bed! At first I was angry thinking that he was kicking me out! He even took down his posters and emptied his closet! But then I started seeing him bringing some stuff back. Several pairs of his zapatos, some shirts and chaquetas. Some things he even put in the basura! Things that were too small or too old - you know how they do, right? So yes,  A MAJOR CLEANING. His room was like SUPER CLEAN.  He and his Papa also bought in new stuff. New zapatos, shirts, pants. The new stuff he put into a new bag. Nice! Good storage. It even has wheels!! So he can move it around a lot easi...

Work It

I found an old photo of me from many moons ago. I'm talking acid washed jeans, big glasses, big hair - the whole 9 yards. It's just a casual shot - me and a friend chilling on the couch (uh, no I don't plan to post it LOL) - but it got me thinking about yester-year or days of old (sheesh, that sounds kinda knightly)...You know, those days when your biggest worries included "are the quarter pounder combos on sale this week? Is HE going to ask me out? For Prom??" (HE didn't but I went to prom anyway and had a BLAST!) This is also about the time I got my first taste of adulthood - A JOB! A real one! Like actually doing things for someone other than my parents and grandparents in order to maintain my allowance (yes, I was one of those kids). Employee ID, Clock-In/Out, an actual check - shoot couldn't tell me nothing. I was a working WOMAN after all (okay so a working TEEN but still, LOL)  Guess where I worked? No, go ahead I'll wait... Time's u...
