I finally did it.....

First off.....HAPPY EASTER! The best part about today has been that I successfully found Cadbury Creme Eggs at Wal Mart, when I haven't been able to find them anywhere else. They're like easter crack. But more importantly, after more than a year, I FINALLY finished reading "Atlas Shrugged". I know it's kinda sad that it has taken me that long, but I have to say that it was definately worth reading. Ayn Rand does such a good job describing the characters, you really get a sense of how they feel and what motivates them to strive for their goals (or lack there of). It was also the longest book I think I've ever read. Over 1000 pages and extremely small print too. Now I can move on to one of the other books that I've had to hold off on until that one was done. It's really funny though. I was reading the book thinking to myself..."Man, this would make a really good movie. Long, but still...a good movie." So, I get online and start looking up stuff about the book, and come to find out, they are gonna start filming this year on Atlas Shrugged. It is supposed to premere next year and the lead that they cast as Dagny is Angelina Jolie. Now I like her in most of her movies and I think that she would do a good job with this role, but when I picture Dagny Taggart...I definately don't see someone as blatantly attractive as Angelina Jolie. The idea that I have of Dagny is someone a little more plain and that doesn't emit physical beauty, but more of a sense of knowledge, power and self confidence that makes her attractive. I'm interested to see how Angelia pulls off this role and who else will be cast.
