Today was sunny.
I woke up at 8:30 because I had class at 10 then another at 12 and another at 2.
I didn't go to school though, I had breakfast and watched a VBS.TV series called "Toxic Alberta" about Fort McMurray. It was really good. It's about an hour long and as it suggests looks at different perspectives of the oil sand crisis/boom but also can't conclusively document an inexhaustible topic. At first I was thinking, "Great! Canada has 1000 times the amount of oil as Saudi Arabia! We're a great country!". But then I thought," We aren't doing it right. We are inappropriately destroying our country. We need to change."
(Fort McMurray contributes to 2/3 of Canada's green house gas output. Which is stunning because it's a town of 70,000 in a country of 30,000,00. So it's like a town of 70,000 acting as 20,000,000. I think...)
Then I went to Kreuzberg Victoria Park and read.
I went to the flea market on the way home and bought a pair of thin tan denim Levi's and a print of "Guernica" by Pablo Picasso for 5 euros. Which is awesome.
I've been listening to "Heretic Pride" by The Mountain Goats lately.
I went skateboarding after dinner. The park was super busy but I managed to land some solid noseslides which have been bugging me lately.
I had to go into university around 9:30 to print off a re-admission/campus change form for UBC. Tomorrow I have to fax it and a lost document form to the people who give me money vis student loans.
I wgoing to watch "400 Blows" (1959) by Truffaut but went to sleep instead.
