Commentary

I dreamt of a very old friend last night. Someone I have not seen or spoken to since i was about 15 years old. Weird. What the heck does it mean....
After dinner last night, I went to see THE VALLEY OF ELAH with Tommy Lee Jones, Susan Sarandon, & Chalize Theron. A good show! Jones was AWEsome. A sad flick, though. I didn't get popcorn, but did get Peanut M&M's. I NEVER BUY PLAIN M&M's....
I have been having such a hard time with being "hooked" into a good book lately. I have started about 5 and had to put them down because they just didn't grab me...the most recent victim was Ayn Rand's ALTAS SHRUGGED. If i am missing something here, please let me know....I am not reading another dectective thriller by Michael Connelly
Have I ever mentioned on this blog that part of me wanted/wants to be a detective. I think it would be so cool...to find/collect evidence and find the assailants of different crimes. I dig that stuff. My mom used to say, "DIG".
I got a little scrapped up today during my room and it was kinda cool. It was such a beautiful day. AHHH. Perfect weather. Not a cloud in the blue sky. The warmth was soothing on my body as I sat outside to ice my ankle after my run.
I want a few things that are a bit costly: a digital camera & a new Apple Laptop. I don't NEED either, but I want them and I seldom want STUFF....
I got an gift card to REI for my b-day. Can't wait to use it. YIPPEE....
I have a little Weeping Buddha on my desk and it is one of my most favorite things in my house.
I have not heard from my brother who is in prison and it makes me wonder if he is in trouble and cannot write or what....?

When I first began drinking coffee, the only drink I would get was a Mocha with whipped cream. Funny. I never ever order that now. Have not in years....

Funny....

Also..how sad and disturbing monks are being killed in Myanmar

Atlas Shrugged is over rated, in my opinion. I do love The Fountainhead though, it's one of my favorite books.

I love Ayn Rand, but what I will say about her writing is she can be a bit wordy at times. Once you get into her stories though you want more, or at least I do. The other thing about her fiction is that is really is a vehicle to promote her philosophy. Sort of like parables, if you will.

I love it when you just write about stuff. Great post! Also, maybe you need to start out like Zoe said on Fountainhead. Atlas Shrugged is VERY HARD to get in to - you have to read to a certain point before it hooks you (this is what I have heard from people I know who have read it). Sadly, I've never made it thus far and it still sits on my bookshelf unread.

I want stuff too, but I need everything I want.

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hoseini. Fantastic book! Highly recommended.
