After Wednesday's kickboxing and ab exercises we had to do in PE, my body is aching. A lot. My left leg feels like its dead now.

Today we had two fieldtrip. They were both quite interesting, actually.
We first went to Granville Island, where we listened to an author from the Vancouver Children's Writers and Readers Festival (probably got the name wrong) talk about 'pop culture', and the differences between indie and corporate culture. To be honest, though, I had heard about pretty much every single thing he said. Oh, and I just started listening to CBC Radio 3 a couple days ago, so that wasn't new to me. It's funny sometimes how things you do/see/etc. relate to each other.
I half recognized the picture of Sid Vicious as part of the Sex Pistols. However, I mistook him for Vivienne Westwood's husband, Matthew McLaren, so I didn't know that.
Oh, and his list of 'top 5 media companies in the world' wouldn't be what I would have said. He said AOL/Time Warner, Disney, BMG, Murdock, and Viacom. I personally would have shoved BMG and Murdock off, and put Vivendi and Sony there instead.
However, I really enjoyed listening to him speak. He was quite humorous, however, he was hounded by questions revolving around 'how can you be indie when you make money', etc. Most indie stuff don't even make money, and he needs to eat, so of course he's going to get paid.

Now, for the TRIUMF tour.
Well, first off, aside from Nolan's group, everybody was late. Our group was second, and we managed to get AD's dad to drive us.
Our tour guide was a pretty good one, and he managed to catch my attention almost the entire time, and I understood most of what he said. I haven't been on many tours where that's happened.
The trip home was also quite interesting.


Oh, and I saw LN from Tech MACC at Granville Island. He was there for the same speech, and was staying later for another workshop. We had a chat, and to be honest, I almost didn't recognize him. He was much taller (a head taller than me), had braces, and longer hair.
