My sister just got her Kindle 2 from Amazon and I had to call to ask how it was. She’s been lording it over me that she had one on order and now she has it. I’m pretty jealous and I have dumb reasons on why I want one. I’ve read books on computer in the past, including almost ruining my eyes reading Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander on a Toshiba Dynabook with a failing backlight. She was an online friend and she sent me her book on floppy disks. But that’s not a big reason; I don’t need to make my eyes any worse. But I do have troubles reading books because I don’t break the spine on books and I often hold them with my left hand. My hand cramps up and makes it difficult to keep reading. I figure the Kindle 2 might help. It’s really just a case of gadget lust.

I felt a lot better at the gym today, though it’s probably psychological and not physiological. Though I agree with Megan that I’m getting old, I’m going to keep pretending that I’m not. But I do keep seeing pictures of myself and wonder who the old guy came from.
