Well, I won't be blogging any time soon, cause I am actually going to NY to meet and hang out with lots of my friends from the blogosphere and from Facebook and a few from real life. So, I will leave you with this quote, in order to convince all Objectivists to read Jane Austen while I am gone, since you won't be busy reading my blog.
[Lady Catherine (a big old bee-atch) says to Elizabeth (a delightful and independent little thing:]``You are then resolved to have him?''
[And Elizabeth, remembering her values and virtues and determined to make Ayn Rand proud, replies:]``I have said no such thing. I am only resolved to act in that manner, which will, in my own opinion, constitute my happiness, without reference to you, or to any person so wholly unconnected with me.''
Yay!! Now everyone go read Pride and Prejudice or Sense and Sensibility.

This is one of my favorite exchanges as dramatized in the A&E P&P. The other is when Lizzie dresses Darcy down after he professes his love in a bassackward manner in the Kiera Knightley version.
Fabulous book.
