Blip

I was Luigi for Halloween.



The best part of the night was running down the 1st Street bridge. And also, NOT getting towed.

Thoughts on The Fountainhead so far:
-Ellsworth Toohey is upsetting.
-I would like to see the Dominique Francon that Rand pictured. She sounds beautiful and vastly misunderstood.
-Peter Keating is a jellyfish, why would he do that to poor Catherine? That poor, poor girl.. She's much too good-natured for him.
-I want to study Architecture.
-I would be terrified of a Howard Roark.
