giftmas day
Always a little tiring, and though its been fun for me i've been fighting a headache all day. Between that and my aching mouth, from the wisdom teeth deciding i wasn't be able to eat my dinner all that well. I had to go slowly through the ham we had today. *sighs* I should get some leftovers and keep them in the freezer until after i get my teeth pulled. Probably the plan i think. See if i can take some of the cookies mom and my niece, the little monkey made. (yes i call her chibi saru!)
Things are definitely better here though. I'm stupidly glad. I got a lot of clothes that look great, and the big thing? A sony Ereader(still new!), that i've been fooling with on and off all day. Already have a few things on it, via my usual looking around online. *grin* I'll be browsing all the public domain stuff i can grab soon though. Mom got it through a friend, and i've been curious about the format. I didn't want them to spend a fortune on something that i may not even use in the end if i don't like it. If it works out, i'll probably get a Kindle or a Nook later on. But i want to see how i do with this for a year or so. I don't really need wireless on it at the moment. I wonder if i can toss some manga on it... (so i can catch up on Saiyuki!)
Now if i could make this headache back off more, i'd be happier. But its definitely been good.
My brother and his daughter got a Wii so we've been taking turns at the Wii bowling and Super Mario Bros (wii version) since last night. Mom got a Nintendo DS. :D Yes, my mother is the gamer of the family. She always was the best of the house, even compared to my brother. She has the patience to grind her way through them every night. If i ever got her into an MMORPG i'd be scared! *laughs* I remember us taking weeks to get through Star Tropics on the original Nintendo console when i was a kidlet. She'd play, i'd be reading the Nintendo power mag and tossing out where to go. It worked, we won! I'm a geek on my own, but there were the sillier aspects of my family like that. Mom and my brother are the gamers. Dad wasn't, and neither am i.
Anyway, now to watch the Doctor Who Christmas Special. :D

I'm hoping they'll offer e-manga for sale or something in the future. Formatting can be a bitch if the person scanned in double pages instead of single.

I do have a file converter already, Calibre, which seems to be the converter of choice for any and all ereader users. I have a friend with a Kindle that uses it. I'll probably start fooling with the manga eventually but for now i'm just getting used to doing things with book files. So far, i'm liking it, especially with my own book reading habits from hell. It was a good choice on my mom's part to get this for me, i think.
