Monday was rainy. At last! I found the cutest spot a little out of town that has actual bench-table combos. It's remote and so pretty. If you're a serial killer who's looking to murder me there with no witnesses, you're shit out of luck because my classes ended and I won't be back. So hah!

On Tuesday I had serious blisters because some stupid part of my boot was bent wrong and just totally dug into my skin all day. I was kinda desperate so I got these platform combat boots at Bershka but I kind of regret it. They were good for only a few months but there's just no way I can afford Doc Martens right now.

Before class a random cat spotted me across the street and sprinted at me. I gave it lots of scratches and pets. At home I watched 30 Days of Night, it was pretty great.

Most of the week I was busy rushing to finish my zine (well, it's finally out!) so that's what I did on Wednesday too. On Thursday I had to skip class because we had to go clean up this house (we've probably made a nice amount of cash at this point). Me and my brother had fun playing Battlefront, we usually 1 v. 1 each other because I love setting traps.
On Friday we had our last class. It was nice, had to say bye to Jimena because we'll probably not have class together again but I'll see Hamza in September. In the morning I was also at the dentist for my last appointment, it went well but my mouth was so numb. I was chilling at the park when this random guy came up and started telling me his woes. I felt super awkward because my mouth was still totally numb and I was drooling a bit by accident. Basically I tried to make it out of there as soon as possible but I probably seemed rude. Sorry, guy.

| Me when... |
At home I watched Hasan's interview with Mahmoud Khalil, which was very interesting and cool to see live because I literally never go on Twitch. Again, I'm probably way too invested in American politics, but basically all politics is American politics. Plus I 'm pretty familiar with censorship and seeing lawless abductions of dissenting voices in my own experience, though I of course never had it as bad as Mahmoud.
In the evening I re-watched Mambo Italiano with my mum and brother. What a B-movie, but it's so dumb and good. Excellent Italian humour.
On Saturday I was very disappointed to learn about Contrapoints' position on Israel and Palestine. Jeez, a politics heavy post, sorry. I haven't kept up with her in a year or so but much of her analysis in her Twilight video was so good. The duality of gender as sides of a mountain: the side which is lit will be dark, and the dark side will one day fall into light. This rung so true to me about gender or general self-expression, that you are never a constant and it's impossible to exist as pure distilled forms of the feminine or the masculine. Well her wisdom ends there it seems, she had the most finger-wagging feckless position on the genocide, because leftists hurt her feelings a bit. Stupid.
Here's a random pic I found of what I think is Sophia Coppola's office and I am obsessed. So beautiful.

On Sunday we played Gartic Phone with my brother and Tom and created some very cursed imagery. I also gave in and pre-ordered the CD of the new Deftones album, Private Music. I couldn't help it, the single rocked so hard. In fact, I'll make it my song of the week even though it came pretty late into the week.
Check out My Mind Is A Mountain by Deftones. So old school, so nu metal. Now I'm thinking about AMVs again...
