So hey it's my birthday today! Awesome.

I'm now at the lovely age of 27 without a valid driver's license. That last part isn't entirely true, I just have to wait for my new license to arrive, and in the mean time try to celebrate without going to bars. Either way, I do get a chance to celebrate with a few gifts, or rather, try to figure out how to.

My parents decided to give me a kindle this year. While a kindle is a great thing to have, I do have a rather sizable library of real books. Not saying that I'm not going to use my kindle, I just don't know when I'm going to. I do have a rather large backlog to get through, so my kindle may have to collect dust until I manage to get through it. It was one of the reasons I told my parents I didn't want one for this past Christmas. Anyway, I'm sure I'll find a use for it sooner or later.

Aside from that, I spent the weekend with my 92 year old grandmother who promptly gave me money and took me to a bookstore, where you guessed it, I bought a physical book. Again, no idea when I'm going to use my kindle. >_> I did, however, get to chat up the cute bookstore worker. So that was a big plus. Gotta give a shout out to Horgen for telling me about the Harry Hole books.

Outside of that, I just ordered a set of Cards Against Humanity, the Apples to Apples clone mature edition, and decided to dive into Dragon Age. So, nothing to spectacular for me today. Just waiting for my new license to arrive so I can go drinking. Hopefully sometime this week. Hopefully.

Belated Birthday for yesterday! :) 4 years older than me. I see the appeal of the Kindle, but I still can't beat an actual physical book. It is great for amassing a large collection of out-of-copyright titles though.

I take it you need the license as I.D... and not to travel to and from the drinking establishment. :S

Happy birthday!  Kindles are good if your local library has lending of e-books.
