I was watching the telly the other night and I was reminded (via flashback) to a class I took at UCFV. Invertebrate physiology. Very exciting course, in some respects, though the actual course material was infinitely complex and difficult. The lab portion of the course made up for the lecture though. Just think, learning all of this stuff, suffering through horrible midterms and lab exams, getting an “A”, and the damn thing didn’t even transfer to SFU. All of this is beside the point though. My flashback was while watching a show called “Sex on the reef”. Now, this sounds more exciting than a course in invertebrate physiology doesn’t’ it? Well, actually no. This is not the sort of material that you probably think it is. This is simply a nature show where the virtues of some sort of animal kind of behaviour is presented with a bad soundtrack and many unnecessary dramatics. Perhaps I am not expressing my point correctly, you probably still have the wrong idea. This video has nothing to do with pornography, unless you are a bivalve, or some kind of starfish. However, I do laugh when these nature shows totally over dramatises the day in the life of an ant or something similar with really bad music and hushed commentary. What this all reminded me of was when our Biology 301 (the aforementioned Invertebrate physiology …) class watched “Sex on the Reef”, the most hilarious nature video/show that I have ever seen. The epitome of bad video music. Thought I would share that.
Whats the deal with those HOV lanes on the freeway before the Port Mann bridge? I really wonder how much this will really speed up the commute back from Vancouver for those poor souls who have to traverse such distances to go to work. The bridge is still only two lanes either way right? So what we have now is 4 lanes going down to two, with people merging in from United Blvd or whatever the hell it is. Is this really going to help? And only two people per car constitutes car pool? Don’t even get me started!
To continue my thing on speeding down the SFU hill. I hope the the RCMP keeps up their speed traps going down the mountain. I hope to see long lines of a-holes backed up waiting to receive their speeding tickets. I’ll sail by and laugh.
