Classics (10)
I have a desire to read some classic works of literature (or at least hear them read to me).  I figure maybe my teenage mind wasn't ready to accept the brilliance contained in the pages of Great Expectations and Moby Dick when I was forced to read them in high school. 

I recently downloaded the audiobook version of Atlas Shrugged.  I listened to the first few hours of it (I think it goes on for about 14,000 hours) and I just wasn't captivated enough to continue listening to it.  I understood the story, I learned about the characters, but something still didn't get through to me.  I realize this book is a little heavy on the artistic aspect of literature, what with the 10-minute long descriptions of peoples' faces and fictional corporate history.  I'm just not interested enough to continue listening. 

I guess the classics won't ever appeal to me.  They sucked when I was 15 and they still suck 10 years later.  So much for growing up. #entertainment

Belated birthday wishes
I received a card in the mail the other day wishing me a belated happy birthday.  I appreciate the thought.  But my birthday was exactly 4 months ago.  How long after a person's birthday is it no longer acceptable to send belated wishes?  I would say 1 month.  After a month or two, I think it's better to wait till the following year. #sociology
