Today I didn't do any homework, so I'm planning on spending quite some time on piano and sleeping early. Don't think that'll happen.
Oh, and as of now, I'm still wondering what's happening with tomorrow's bus ride to Granville Island.
Yesterday, we had to see "Through a Blue Lens", a documentary film by Veronica and David Mannix and the NFB, which was about drug addicts in the downtown Eastside. It was extremely graphic, and you know what, 3 minutes into the film I felt like I would rather have a project due tomorrow than see the rest of it. I promise you that I will never ever touch any of that stuff. It just brings back really bad memories.
I was reading a bit about it, and apparently it was quite well-received. Mr. Ehrmantraut said that all the women in the film had died, but Randy Miller might have stayed clean. I read a imdb article, which said that Nicola had also cleaned up and stayed that way, but then, the comment was written in 2004. Carlee and April both died, Carlee dying of drug overdose and April being strangled. Ugh.
However, it appears that crystal meth usage has grown much more than when the film was made, so now there is a near zero chance of rehabilitation and staying clean forever.
This is really some depressing stuff, you know.
Edit: I just went to this website:http://www.oddsquad.com/EN/through_a_blue_lens/_through_a_blue_lens/
Sigh.
