Even though Lisa so eloquently reminded me that places outside the US move more slowly and experience more interruptions, it doesn't change that I can't get what I want right now. I know that chocolate chip cookies will make me fat but I eat them anyways. So, since I can't do much of anything on my to-do list, I am switching gears and downloading the unabridged audiobook of Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. That way, even if I have boring work to do, the internet doesn't connect, the power goes out, my email won't connect to Vaupell's US server, the Microsoft network rejects my login, and the toilet is clogged I can still relish having three horus of battery power on my laptop (and many more on my ipod) to bask in the virtues of capitalism while living in a Communist country (with special Chinese capitalist tendencies).

Atlas Shrugged rules by the way. Took me 3 months to read all 1200 pages but it was well worth it
I failed at buying Atlas shrugged. iTunes charged me $1.09 for a 'purchase' but didn't ever send the file. So, instead of getting even more frustrated, I drank scotch instead. Good plan? Good plan.
Well it is one of the best books I have ever read. Definitely not the typical Western student type book. It's too pro capitalism and large corporations. LOL
What happened in the ongoing Atlas Shrugged saga? I need a fix.
