The Fountainhead

READ THIS BOOK! It is quite frightening to see the similarities between her novel and what is happening in our country today.

"Don't you find anything amusing in my little experiment? I do. For instance, do you notice that all the wrong people are on the wrong sides? Mr. Alvah Scarret, the college professors, the newspaper editors, the respectable mothers and the Chambers of Commerce should have come flying to the defense of Howard Roark-- if they value their own lives. But they didn't. They are upholding Hopton Stoddard. On the other hand I heard that some screwy bunch of cafeteria radicals called 'The New League of Proletarian Art' tried to enlist in support of Howard Roark--they said he was a victim of capitalism--when they should have known that Hopton Stoddard is their champion."

Music Monday (Three days later)

So I'm starting a little thing on my blog called music Monday, but I'm starting it on Wednesday. Why? Because I'm just that crazy.

Music Mondays originated in my old apartment Wellington 7, where I would pick a band to celebrate each week. During that week of celebration, I would cover the bathroom mirror with fun facts about the band and force anyone of my roommates getting ready in the morning to sing the selected band's songs...all week! Turns out that was a great idea. Also turns out that Styx week was our favorite. Why? Oh I'll tell you why. Because they can politely sing thank you to a robot in Japanese.

So I present to you Gorillaz. And I award them "the most diverse portfolio award".
