I'm pretty sure that I'm actually Storm. As in the X-men character. I walked to work this morning and heard thunder rumbling all around me... but it didn't start raining until right after I got inside. I felt pretty awesome.
This day needs to end. I had three meetings today and too much coffee. My legs hurt terribly for no apparent reason. And I'm sick of staring at a computer screen! Get me outta here.
I'm reading some pretty intense books these days. One is entitled "Against Love." Ha. It sounds worse than it is. Basically, it challenges all of our modern notions of love, romance, marriage, and the like. It's extremely interesting. I was reading last night about how marriage actually had very little to do with love or romance or passion until novels became a form of entertainment and marriage wasn't just an economic agreement between two families.
Passion was what people looked for outside of marriage. That's what affairs were for.
Great book. I would recommend it, particularly to anyone who finds it hard to wrap their head around this love/monogamy business that everyone seems so certain is what everything in this world boils down.
I also have "The Monogamy Myth," "Bitch: In Praise of Difficult Women," and "Interrogating Post-feminism" checked out from the library. I think I just heard The Commodore yell at me to get back in to the kitchen and make him a sandwich.
about 1.5 hours to go. Then, it's some red vino and possibly some homemade falafel, if I'm not feeling too lazy when I get home.
