Yesterday was the Night of January 16th, and I missed it again.
January 16th is one of my favorite Ayn Rand plays - well it might be her only play, but I like it. It's short, has disturbing sex roles although they wrote that way in the 40's, and gets across her main themes. It has a gimmick - the audience is the jury, and gets to vote. I've never heard of its being performed.
* I didn't know till just now it was a movie.
The early ayn rand is something i hadn't heard of, might be good or bad.

I finished American Gods* and am reading Katharine Graham's personal history.
* I didn't know it won the Hugo! You do know who Hugo was, right?

In the previous page, we learn that her half-brother-in-law, a three year old who spits on her, grows up to be Senator Bob Graham. There's a lot of name dropping - I don't mean that in a bad way, it's just that she ran in a circle of people one has heard of.
Hmm this one won the pulitzer.
Small wedding, just two supreme court justices, with Steichen taking pictures. It is monday morning and I have urgent business to attend to, but I want to stay in bed reading for a bit longer.
Say this looks useful - www.fetch.com
find the lowest price of a book, in this case 50 cents at amazon, 75 cents at half.com.
