500 a year October 25, 2007

I have made some progress on my list lately.  I read another nonfiction book.

A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf was right up my alley being a reader and a feminist.  It was very interesting to think about the dearth of early women writers and the state of women in real life compared to woman in works of literature.

I really liked contemplating what marvelous things Charlotte Bronte and Jane Austen could have accomplished on beyond their masterpieces had they had the freedom and privacy of their male counterparts. 

Scotch! October 8, 2007

I tried scotch the other night at happy hour – Glenlivet to be exact,  The verdict?  I love the smell of it.  Don’t like it at all on the rocks, but it’s good with water.   Not sure it’ll ever be a regular drink, but I gave it a shot!  Certainly not as many calories as the much loved white russian.
