Book or E-reader?

 Let me tell you, i'm TORN. Its been a while, and by this i mean MONTHS, and i have yet to make a decision...

Decision #1: to buy an e-reader or not to buy an e-reader? you see, the problem is i ADORE my books! But, i travel alot, and i tend to carry at least 5-6 paperbacks with me on a week-long trip when i leave home, manage to buy a couple more books at the bookstore in the airport (despite their crappy selection) and do you see where this is going? Excess luggage, plus the bother of so many books! That's one aspect. The other is will an e-reader compare with the real deal? I don't know.. but this article that i came across kinda shares the pain shweya

Now the other thing is:
Decision #2: which freakin e-reader should i go for????!!!! it seems like the moment i decide on one, 500 new ones pop up on the market (i exaggerate, i know...) but it doesn't really help me right now. Right now, i'm most likely going with the Barnes & Noble Nook, but i'm still not sure... *sigh*

It's all about fb today... lol

Came across this little piece on fb and since i seem to be going on about it 2day (after not having blogged in months!) i thought i'd share this with you, enjoy :)

Hollywood plans turkey tale movie - The story of a woman who was stranded by snow for a month after she popped out to buy a Christmas turkey

What strikes me the most (after being flabbergasted that due to the weather she couldnt return home for a month, ofcourse) is that they actually are running a business in the area- a cafe!! Talk about optimism! Ok, i know, they probably are the only eatery in the area so they are providing a necessary service, but to whom? There aren't any customers!!

Yes, i'm a jaded city-girl...

Sibling Rivalry

A little bit of sibling rivalry is always good, i guess, and this is another manifestation of the constant one-upmanship between Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
