1. The chocolate lab feels she must sleep on something. Toys are good. Shoes are good too. I cannot figure this behavior out.
2. The Voyage Out by Virginia Woolf was a two star reading. She carries good description of scenery but reading her is like watching goldfish swim. Nothing really happens. I'd also compare it to people watching in the mall. You see some people go in to a store and catch part of their conversation. Then you forget about them until they come out engaged in a different conversation. Meanwhile, other bits of conversation have gone in and come out but nothing really forms an entire story.
3. Great Expectations by Charles Dickens is far better. You get the scenic descriptions but you also get the entire story. Even Estella's story is finished out. Of course, Dickins is a five star writer. He shows you every sort of human being there is in only a few human beings. You find characters that remain the same (static character.) You also find the dynamic characters. You find characters who live for vengeance. You find those that live quietly with love.
4. I got crafty and spray painted some wall sconces I had grown tired of. I am no longer tired of them. They look beautiful and they suit the decor. I'm so happy :D
