PRS-600 Update

Posted by: Sonya on: September 18, 2009

Just to let anyone who is interested know that I was able to return the PRS-600 to the Sony Store without any problems, although the sales girl did try and get me to part exchange for the new PRS-300! I declined, politely. If my 505 goes down the crapper for whatever reason it [...]

The Coolness Of eBook Readers

Posted by: Sonya on: February 28, 2009

Currently Studying

Not a lot! :o) Oh the joys of recess.... I've registered on Philosophy of the Mind for next year, starts the end of January but I will be starting preparatory work real soon.

Last Movie

2012 - Well, it's not as bad as people are saying, just so long as you take it on face value and ignore the... err..., shall I say 'plot'? The first half of the film where everything gets destroyed is actually really cool and definitely worth seeing, the second half, once they get to China, hmm... not so much.

Last Book

The Men Who Stare at Goats - Jon Ronson - I've seen the film, and now I've read the (signed!) book. It's an interesting contrast. The film is quite 'feel-good' and only hints at the Dark Side, but the book, the second half in particular, goes in to quite some detail on how Jim Channon's ideals have become warped and corrupted in to the disturbing forms of psychological torture that the military has been using in recent years. Very good and informative read.
