What do these two seemingly separate things have in common? They both repeat on me.
Just in this last week alone:
1) I was informed that Jon Galt (different spelling, but still) is the name of a homosexual porn star. Well, I certainly hope that he can keep the trains running into and out of tunnels on time. Potentially NSFW link there, but really, you should know that.
2) A friend at work let me know that her three favorite authors were Jane Austin (specifically Pride and Prejudice), Charles Dickens (specificaly A Tale Of Two Cities) and Ayn Rand (specifically Atlas Shrugged), at which point my head exploded a little bit. For the record, brains do not come out of keyboards.
3) A guy I was chatting with online at the Bear411 (DON’T YOU DARE GODDAMN JUDGE ME) cut me off cold when I was less than complimentary about Rand’s prose and how I found it amusing that someone so dedicated to celebrating those capable of perfection was herself such an AWFUL writer. I tend to offend people a lot and that limits the usefullness of online meeting sites such as Bear411, Match.com, Yahoo Personals and Chemistry.com (DON’T YOU DARE…oh, who am I kidding, I’M judging me after that so go right ahead).
Perhaps I had to stretch a bit for that last one, but it’s still 2.5 things and I’m not one to ignore a message from the universe. So, I braved the boxes in my basement that never got unpacked after the move and, after slaying some spiders bigger than they have any right to be in a country that’s not Australia, I hauled out my copy of Atlas Shrugged and have started to reread it.
Yeah…
