Kindle

After much deliberation  and as an early Christmas present I bought myself an  Amazon Kindle . Having lived with it for a couple of weeks now, I can categorically state that I love it !!!  Yes the Pearl E-Ink display is very easy to read, clear and sharp, the machine is light and pocketsized,  the page refresh is relatively quick, but the thing that makes it a wonder for me is the sheer amount of books you can get on it. The idea of carrying around my entire library appeals to me much in the same way that carrying around my entire CD collection on a mp3 player does.  I rarely leave home without it, as a result the numbers of books I'm getting through has doubled.

Garrus

A quick one of Garrus Vakarian, the baddest Telurian in Omega ;)  from the  Mass Effect universe.
.  I only came to the Mass Effect series of games earlier this year. ME2  has quickly become one of my all time faourites, the characters, story, effects and humour all add up to a totally immersive, cinematic experience.  I've played it through 5 times now each with a different class and gender of main character. I've lost my entire team and kept my entire team through the final suicide mission, romanced several of the crew and made decisions that will I've no doubt come back and haunt me in ME3
