sNO storm

I was promised a winter weather advisory-worthy snowstorm. Having it snow tomorrow during the day does me no good. I need it to snow a lot now so that Honda will close.

I'm on page 718 of Atlas Shrugged now. I thought the story would get better but it really hasn't. There have just been more male characters introduced for the main character (Dagny) to want to bang. For purely majestic reasons. None of them having to do with orgasms. That's probably the hardest part of the book to understand. Other than the fact that airplanes exist but people continue to travel across the country on trains and consider it time-efficient. Don't even get me started. I have so many other books that I know will be better than this one, just waiting for me to read them. I resent Ayn Rand for writing such a long book. She inspired me to read more short stories.

I think I might get a job grading standardized test essays. I think it's the kind of thing I might like, since it involves getting paid for finding fault in others. I'm good at finding fault in myself too, but no one's going to pay me for that.

are you being facetious? I've just found myself not paying attention to any of the political philosophy. I mean, I get it, they're not going to support the looters. What else is she really saying? Nothing. I don't know why it takes over 1000 pages to explain why we shouldn't support blood-suckers.

yes, that was facetiousness with a touch of scorn. anyway, i finished the chapter The John Galt Line yesterday before sleeping, so now i'm on page 253 :) i like how the chapter seems to have ended with both Dagny and Hank climaxing at the same moment after their strange submissive/conquerer sex.
