I don't know if anyone notices but I change the title of this page on an almost daily basis. No matter what though, it always goes back to this Weakerthans lyric. It is not my favourite line on the album however, which would be "megaphones in helicopters squeal 'hey, are you ok?'"
Yesterday I wrote 6 pages of a 7 page essay. I therefor rock. I deiscovered that I particularly enjoy the topics of waste management and am considering taking a course in it.
Today in geo, the Irish professor decided it would be movie night. Too bad that the movie was a news-type special on the Oka crisis. I lived through it. In which I mean I was six years old and watched my mother go to work every day in a fishing boat and hid on the floor of my blue Caprice Classic with Kris while my dad got tear gassed and double propellor army helicopters flew overhead. Yeah. It made me sad because it was obvious how much people in the class didn't even care. But anyway.
On the way home I passed the family who lives on our floor but in the other part of the building walking down the sidewalk in episodes. First the men. One carrying an air conditioner. Then the mother carrying nothing and the annoying child who is always on the porch when I'm studying, crying or talking to me through the partition in Portugese. Then the younger brother of the men carrying a large table. Then the grandfather carrying a small box. These are all guesses. I don't actually know how they're related. But the point is that the man was carrying an AIR CONDITIONER. A large one. It was very "In America," the movie about the Irish family who moves to New York and the guy from Amistad is in it and dies of some disease. Except that the air conditioner was bigger and he didn't have too Irish girls under the age of five trailing behind him. And it wasn't a heat wave. It's really good. You should see it.
