i am having trouble seeing this as a legit coup. ignoring for the moment the kidnapping and exile, it played out more like he was attempting a coup himself and got rebuffed. after the legislature and supreme court both tell him he can't hold a referendum when he wants to, he basically thems them fuck off i'm doin it anyway, at which point the military steps in and says hey you've vastly overstepped your authority and you are fired. granted the military picking sides in a govt squabble is not a great situation, but it strikes me as more of a corrective action than a power grab. esp considering he's pals with chavez etc, not a group known for loving the law, for better or worse.

jamie gave me bike riding lessons. i am now able to veeringly ride into fences. next steps are to wobble less, and to learn how to turn intentionally - which i can't do - instead of unintentionally - which i am very good at already.
on friday i was in a car accident. just a fender bender, but it was still a pain in the ass. had to call the cops and whatnot. thennnn someone drove into my parked car yesterday. i am afraid to use it now: people will crash into me!
but on the plus side, as a rental, apparently i don't have to pay a deductable for my insurance for some reason.

the meds i'm on lower my sex drive. this is theoretically a side effect, but given my love life i consider it a boon. if i'm not gonna get it, may as well want it less, right? right.
i've seen 2 movies from this supposed new wave of extreme french horror (high tension and frontier(s)) and they were both very disappointing. now i'm afraid to see the others on my list because they sound so rad and if they suck that would be lame.
work has been super cruddy lately. also, i wish i could sing.

 | 12:22 am - a chris
i know many chrisses. i am going to post about one i don't know very well. one of my clients, wayne, has this dude chris who comes to visit him twice a week for a couple hrs. chris works for another agency that finds disabled people work. since wayne doesn't particularly want to work, his visits are more social than functional. chris - assuming it's not all a terrible con - is straight up the happiest dude i know. he is always grinning and boisterous and pleased with life. he married for love and his wife later became rich, he still works because he loves his job (except the paperwork). being rich and happy, he likes to get people little things. every time he comes to see wayne, he brings a large iced coffee for him and a large iced tea for me. i never asked for this; one day when i wasn't there he asked wayne what i drink when we go to dunkin donuts (which is often because wayne looooves his coffee), and he started showing up with it. he's this total johny sunshine of a person, and despite barely knowing him and not expecting to have much more contact with him in ever, i am glad he exists.

i want to skip the summer; i am ready for boston now. there is nothing holding me here. there are people i care about, but no one i'm close to (which makes me sad because there are plenty of people i WAS close to). and i am all coop-ed out.
i wish i was passionate about manageable things like career and location. i am excited about law school because it's something to be excited over and it's nice to have direction finally, but the excitement's not deep. i want it but i don't WANT it. i WANT a family. i will be a stay at home dad. i want things i don't know how to get: i am bad at love, and i don't know why. pills make me less miserable but not less weird. i give up on therapy (again) as not helpful to me. basically, my life method is to just wait until something works naturally, because i don't know how to do anything else. but this is slow and frustrating and for all i know won't ever work any better than it is.
in other exciting news, i have been offbalance lately. i'll be walking (or just standing!) and randomly almost topple over. dunno!

 | 11:57 pm - driving is for chumps
so as mentioned awhile ago, my work decreed i need a car. so i got a rental car for the summer, after which time i peace out for boston. i got a ford focus because it was cheap and i didn't know any better. as it turned out it kinda sucked. but fear not, for it died! thursday it started stalling every so often while i was driving. friday it started stalling VERY FREQUENTLY while i was driving. once it went in an intersection i knew it was time to give up the ghost and called the hertz roadside assistance people. naturally i had a client with me, but he didn't seem to mind sitting around an abandoned parking lot in pawtucket for 15 minutes until the cab came. so what does hertz give me as a replacement? some damn pt cruiser lookin thing. i asked the dude if they had anything else i could have, but he just kinda mumbled noise at me. i don't like driving larger vehicles! it's scary, i feel like i'm gonna crash all the time, and with heavier cars i can't tell how fast i'm goin. i was gonna bring it in today and demand a switch, but then i didn't ever get around to it because i was playing final fantasy II. i'm almost to the land of summoned monsters!

for some reason i am really bad at belts lately. i've gone through 4 since coming to prov, 3 of them this year. it's not like i'm huge or make them ultra tight or anything. i'mi always excited when i get a new one because it looks cool then i destroy it. DAMN MY CURVES. i want to get one of those ones that is like a seatbelt connector for the buckle; i enjoy that.
thanks to obama's socialist wonderland, if i get laid off the guvmint pays most of COBRA, so i could have an insured slackadelic summer before school. what's a good way to get laid off? sadly, there is an exception that you can't quit and can't be fired for gross misconduct.
this weekend i worked with a guy who is autistic and schizophrenic. it was fascinating. he just babbled/mumbled the most surreal nonsense the whole time; i really shoulda written it down. i've always been intrigued by autism from what i've read but i've never interacted with someone who has it before. it was basically like i imagined (except he didn't solve any crimes).
it's freaking cold today. the weather needs to pick a season and run with it already.

"You," he said, "are happy. And I behold your strong and gallant figure with true fear and deep respect. You live unmoved by either joy or grief, and you dominate life with serene tranquillity, like a sailor who knows how to use the tiller and doesn't let himself become confused by the marvellous song of the sirens. Next to you I've often felt like an idiotic coward or a madman. There are people drunk on life. How terrible it is to become sober again!"

so my last post contained a dirty dirty lie grievous error. i guess i misunderstood our plans/geography - we did not in fact go to the giant's causeway, and probably won't as it is forever away. but we went to the cliffs of moher which was phenomenal. i took lots of pics, which will be posted when i get home. also we went to nice food and nice galway strolling and good clean fun, topped off with a longass car ride back to dublin, where i now will go to bed.
