suxdonut's quick summary of The Fountainhead

I am about halfway through Singularity Sky, and it's actually starting to get really interesting. But before I got there I started Asimov's Gold, his last collection of short stories and essays, and, well, wow. It's really good. I mean, I've been reading him for almost twenty years, and his older stuff doesn't stand out quite as well, still good, but the weak characterizations are glaring. But in these stories, not in the least. Hot Damn and all that rot. Of course I still think my writing is almost as good, which is something he addresses in one of the essays. Not my writing per se, but our generation of SF writers, being better than his generation.

The last episode of The Office was so sad. Poor, poor David Brent.

Reg is still watching Firefly. I'm not as into it as he is, but I'm liking it just fine. It's kind of ultraviolent though.
