Yeah GST refunds... I like it when the government randomally deposits $65 in your bank account. Hurrah for being young and not working enough so the government can't tax you!
On a sad note...
Well, everyone has obviously heard about London. I don't know why, but I feel quite emotionally affected by this. Maybe it's because I've been there before... I don't know. Normally, and it's not because I don't care, but I normally don't get affected by big international travisties. Like the tsunami- meh... didn't really register in my mind. 9/11... meh.... again, didn't really bother me. Not because I'm cold hearted or anything, I just find it hard to relate to foreign things. I guess it all seems to surreal. But for some reason these bombings in London really bothered me. It's the first time I can actually picture the places that were affected and destroyed. That makes a difference.
Then I just read the media refer to it as "7/7".... *shakes head*.... why, oh why, must the media glorify and highlight everything with nicknames and sayings... I saw a spot on CNN yesterday afternoon that looked more like a trailer for the next big Hollywood blockbuster. Complete with suspensful music and a narrator saying "we will talk to the people and see the affects and blah blah blah" *suspensful music* *Big baritone voice* "The London Bombings" *Big cresendo musical finish*. Really? Must we make a spectacle out of a horrible tragedy. I think that is a prime example of why I am never affected by these internation crisis, because the media makes them seem so elevated and foreign from everyone else. How can I relate to a carefully cheoregraphed montage of pictures and video of wounded people and parimedics and stretches with fucking Beethovens 9th playing in the background?
Oh CNN... how I do love thee... maybe I just can't believe a news centre that takes the breakup of Brad and Jen as seriously as four consecutive bombings in metropolitin London.
So I go on with my life. I watched yet another good movie last night called DEAR FRANKIE. Very, very enjoyable and good. I recommend renting it. Well, today I'm going to get my hair cut, and then a friend of mine is in town from Halifax, so I'll probably hang out with her this afternoon.
