I went to the grocery store this morning - yes, I bought tuna. Tuna seems to come in a lot more varieties and packaging than it used to.
The store didn't have the current issue of The Economist on sale. Bother. I've been hemming and hawing lately about renewing my subscription. I've been reading the Economist, off and on, for over ten years now. (I sometimes wish someone had said to me, "You're 19? And you like to read the Economist? Maybe you should study finance in addition to languages.") It's my favorite English-language news read. It's a pricey magazine, though, and it's the type that makes you feel guilty if you don't get to it within the week. I let my subscription lapse in June, right before my accounting class began, so I haven't missed it too much recently. But then Russia had to go invade Georgia ... and .... yeah. I think I'll buy this week's issue at a newsstand, and then after the move (October) I'll consider renewing it.
Rachel (awesome knit/writing blogger) recently blogged about the latest tech toy, Amazon's Kindle. She mentioned how it easy it to prop it up and read while knitting -- that's a plus. Seems like a good idea for a knitter who likes to read but hates clutter. (Me.) But, whoa, I finally took a look at it on Amazon -- I didn't realize it was that expensive! $359. I definitely wouldn't get one until they dropped way way way down in price.
