Due to circumstances beyond my control, I was "forced" (yeah, that's the ticket) to buy a Nook Color yesterday.

Mostly because, on his 19th birthday, my son managed to break the screen of his 3-week-old Kobo reader.

Now, I'm not enough of a sucker to give an adult human being a new ereader just because they broke theirs, on their birthday.

But.

I am enough of a sucker for it to push me over the edge and convince me to give him my old reader so I can upgrade.

Talk about myself, that is. 

Ugh.

I can't even bring myself to write status reports anymore; how am I supposed to write a diary?
