Plight of the hipster

The walk home from the university to my Crap Shack is infinitely better during the summer. Here, in picture form, are the highlights of the last few weeks in the Garneau/Grandin area:

I call this the Adbusters' worst nightmare. A McDonalds bag floating around in the air got caught up in a beautiful, natural tree. The environment died a little bit, there was undoubtedly a failed attempt at a protest by some annoying hipsters on Whyte, and I took a pic of what started the pomo-revolution.

After the failed attempt at a revolution, the hipsters made their way across the High Level Bridge, where they resolved that since they can't stop the conglomerate that is Mickey D's the least they could do is bitch about how boring their jobs there are:


Finally, with all hope lost, one hipster decided it was time to end it all; or at least to get some attention. He got up on top of the bridge and threatened to jump. I was too far away for him to hear my shouts of encouragement, and the police talked him down. Not sure if you can make out what's going on on the bridge with this pic. I was far away and the cops had the bridge closed off until this guy got off the ledge and was walked to safety.


In other news, I wrote the worst essay of my life this week. Super!
