Random Channel Surfing

I decided to visit Mel in Vancouver this past weekend. We met at a bar (the Black Frog) where I met her friends Tona and Mac. We didn't stay at the Black Frog (whomp-whomp) 'cause we had to head out to a grad show at this very awesome venue a few blocks away. Mellie so smelly.  I really dug the decor there: cartoony monkeys and humans hanging off the walls and from the ceiling; plushy couches and high bar stools; accent lights and twinkle lights. It was beautiful inside! It seemed like a very fit venue for such a diverse and creative bunch. Animators are artists who, I feel, grew up wishing that they lived in the world of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, where humans and zany cartoons coexisted. Animators are hilarious and friendly and weirdly shy and very enthusiastic about the media (magazines, television shows, movies) they consume. Animators are, for lack of a better word, interesting. After the grad show, Tona went with us back to Mel's place, where we sat and chatte...

Issues that cause a relationship to fail. I only have one deal breaker. One. Uno. Un. It's a bit judgmental and definitely not nice (not to mention I'm never going to meet a guy in THIS province), but I can't help it. My deal breaker is I could never be with someone who doesn't share my political views. I can't help it, though. My family? We're HYPER-liberal. The way we see it, if a policy or practice will benefit the vast majority, in particular those who are defenseless, then why wouldn't we agree with it? If a guy votes PC (Progressive Conservative) or Conservative, it's an instant turn off. See? Judgmental.

Canada is having an election in about a month.  Nooooooooooo...  I'm positive that the American elections will overshadow ours... I don't know if my statement is unpatriotic [or unfair], but it's the truth. How pathetic. Despite my anger at the Conservative party and their egocentricities, I'm excited for the election. After all, voting is the most important factor in a democracy. You can't be a democracy without the peoples' input... duh. Anyway, I'll have to vote in Montreal. This will probably be weird. I hope my new roommates are as into politics as my last ones. In other news, my slacking always pays off.  I must learn not to procrastinate... Oh, and I'm leaving in exactly ONE WEEK. Let the panic-attacks begin....
