I'm swamped at work.
Still.
My office window faces west, and some afternoons I want to shove the poor plants onto the floor and take a nap on the sill.
My bangs are growing.
I read a lot. I finished Pride & Prejudice and Sense & Sensibility. Savage Inequalites got a little heavy so I picked up Emma; she's kind of a pain in the ass but I have to stick it out until she gets her comeuppance.
I just got the big green book and I read it more than I cook from it.
I got bonked on the head by a falling worklight last night but my pupils are still MER (thanks John Galt).
There are some blog posts buried in the draft folder and I swear I'll totally finish them like any day now.
Uh, that's about it.
Thanks for checking in.
xo.

Totally lost me. What does MER mean? Never read any Rand.
I haven't yet read Sense and Sensibility, but I liked Pride and Prejudice, once I stopped being offended that their marriage was the worst problem these people faced.
I'm currently on Dickens' The Old Curiosity Shop, an interesting and involved story, but it moves at a sauntering pace. Looking forward to some Bronte sisters next (I have a cool three-in-one edition with Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre and Agnes Grey), which is brand new territory for me.
MER = mid-size, equal, reactive. If your pupils (assuming you've got two) aren't all three of those things after a head bonk, you may have yourself a problem. I assume Ayn Rand's pupils were none of those things.
She always looked a bit googled-eyed to me, but from what I've read about her I don't think it had anything to do with being bonked on the head.
Some, however, would probably make the case she was a bit BONKERS, but that's another kettle of fish entirely...
Today, I have learned.
Item the first: Mid-sized, equal and reactive pupils. Item the second: Ayn Rand was probably as whack-a-doodle as I've long inferred from observing people who claim to love her work. Item the third: glad my friends are not members of the aforementioned whack-a-doodle group.
