So it's gotten colder yet again - I know, I know, it's in the 60s and 70s now, grab your winter coats and scarves! What it really means is that I can wear jeans every day, which also means I need to finish shortening all my jeans like I never actually got around to last year. Only two more pairs to go! Running is also much nicer, which is a plus.

Of course, I had no idea today was Daylight Savings. :D; Conveniently, my phone and my computers are smarter than I am, so all is well. Of course, now I have to make sure to get home even earlier on days I want to go running, which kind of sucks... or maybe I really should start looking into whether there's a track at UF I can use. Boring, sure, but better for my knees, maybe...

Yesterday was the Astronomy Department picnic, which went pretty well - not a lot of faculty turnout, but I suppose that's not totally strange. It was cool but pleasant, and once again there were Adventures With Fire because astronomers and grilling just should never go together in the same sentence, apparently. XD But it was all good. We even took a paddleboat tour of the lake, whereby that I mean that Nathan and Duy peddled the boat while Megan and I sat in the back. XD Best way to paddleboat, if you ask me!

In totally unrelated news, I am thinking of getting an e-reader for my birthday - Mom said she'd be willing to chip in as my present, so I've been doing a little research. I'm not looking to replace buying real books (I'm always going to want real books, that's just how it works) but for travel and such I think it's a fabulous idea - plus, I can read scientific papers on it as well (pfft, like I'd ever do that... >>). I think I like the Barnes & Noble Nook better than the Amazon Kindle, but I was wondering if any of you had a preference? I think I've settled on the Nook, but I am certainly open to opinions if anyone has them!

Okay, I am going to finish this Hoosier fic if it kills me. /GOES BACK TO WRITING
