I am rereading the fiction of Ayn Rand. The order: Anthem, The Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged, and We The People. I might insert The Night of January 16th in there somewhere, too. I am already through Anthem and partway into Fountainhead, and I can tell that I have changed my thoughts since last reading through these works. I don't have the violent hatred that many seem to have towards Rand - most of whom haven't read any of her books - but I no longer have strong agreement, either. There are too many little things in the way... Or perhaps I just say this because I'm forced to admit I'm not an übermensch? *ponder*

I kind of wish I could find online versions of her books online so that I can read at work without looking like I'm reading at work... it's an amusing thought, if you're familiar with her ideas on free work. ;)

I learned to knit this weekend, under the tutaledge of [livejournal.com profile] tpau. I'm making a scarf (everyone's first-time knitting project!)

I need some security in my living prospects. If I need to give a months' notice for July, that's just a few weeks away! :P

Speaking of weeks, I have completely lost all track of my internal scheduling. Time is passing at such weird rates... days are simultaneously too long and too short, and weeks are flying by at paces I can't handle. What events (of any type) are happening these days?

Perhaps [livejournal.com profile] londo and I should've gone to Cambridge last night. "Common sense" kept me from being a part of something historical. Sigh.

Jim comes home from his extended trip today. He'll be leaving again in a few days, apparently. I hope we have time to discuss what's up.
