Lazy night

I'm having a lazy night tonight, and it's awesome.

I''m not doing anything. I mean, I'm doing lots of things, but none of the ones I should do so I feel like I'm being a rebel against myself, and again, it's awesome.

I finally have time tonight to just sit on my bed, listening to music (Vancouver bands because I'm missing it a little now), eat yogurt, and start a book that I've wanted to for so long but I was always doing something else. Well, actually I'm not starting the book write now because I'm writing this (duh) but, I have this feeling, I know it... I WILL START IT TONIGHT!

The book's called "The Idea of the University" and it's a photography study and essays by Vancouver photographer Ian Wallace. He was a prof at UBC in the 90s I think (Barry generation, Barry love! *wink to* Iri and Chris) but anyways, here's why I haven't been able to start. The first lines read:

"The concept of 'the idea of the university' is an abstraction. Its Hegelian/Platonic tone implies a universality of the university; that it is a value in itself and for all time."

Umm, yeah, I always find something else to do.

I found it in a really amazing store in Vancouver called McLeod's which, as a read somewhere, is the definition of an organized chaos. It's so amazing a full of interesting stuff, but sadly I heard from a friend that it closed? (Anyone in Vancouver knows?) That's very sad, and we still have McDonald's everywhere.

I'm just writing stuff about Vancouver because I've been seeing Vancouver everywhere today. Walk into a store and they're playing Tegan and Sara, overheard some people in the street saying "it's so nice out, aye?", and then while looking at a notice board at school I started talking to this girl which ended up being from UBC.

She's super cool, she's 25 and we have some classes together. I don't know why I feel like I should write her age but it's just funny how I have ended up befriending 25 year olds (Sofie, the girl from Sweden I'm always with is also 25). We talked just for a little bit and then Sofie and I had to go to the bank, so we said good-bye... but she made such a good impression on me I gave her a call later and asked if she wanted to get dinner or something. We ended up talking a lot about Vancouver, and Paris and life and it was great. It's been hard finding people I truly like and not just people who are nice and you can hang out with. She's so cool, I'm really glad I met her. Sofie as well, but I am the grown up in our relationship haha she's gonna kill me if she reads this.

Sofie, if you ever read this, I just have two words for you: FO SHAZZLE.

So back to the lazy night, the possibilities are endless! I can just continue writing this thing until I fall asleep, read the Ian Wallace book OR a magazine in French to practice (not happening), or read the Costa Rican newspaper just cause I haven't checked it since I got here, or not unpacking (which has been a favorite activity of mine), or Skyping, or checking out apartment listings... no that's too boring but the pont is, I COULD do it, there are so many things I could do tonight. What I'm not gonna do is go to the club under the bridge some friends are going tonight because I'm an old lady and having a lazy night is the most awesomenest thing ever.

Ok I'm inspired ciao, I have to go start that book or I KNOW I'll never get past the pictures.

Oh wait, here's a photo of McLeod's:




And I'll post a picture of me eating a Falafel when Sofie sends it to me. Hahaha it was so good honestly I can't believe I never had one before. Falafel = <3

Good night.
