reading the **** act

today's wake-up was far easier, and everything went smoothly in spite of the aweful dust storm that hit during the night and still hasn't entirely gone away. when it's bad enough that we feel the need to wear gas masks, we probably shouldn't have to leave closed and air-conditioned spaces.

it was a fairly good day, i got through a lot of stuff and socially it was interesting. some negatively interesting: some guy sent me a message that felt suspiciously like he was hitting on me. i really don't feel like complaining about sexual harrassment.

i stopped off at the bank on the way home, and got a bunch of things sorted out, then hopped a couple of buses home. the streets in our area were crazy, filled with people headed to protest. i didn't have a clue what was happening, so after changing into civvies i made my way there.

great music, fantastic girls all over the place, but as i got near the middle of things i registered what it was all about, and it was extremely politically charged.

i'm not allowed to be involved, regardless of my opinion.

so that sucked, i had to leave the eye-candy and return home to sit online. spot arrived, we attempted drilling to put up the posters we bought, but the battery wasn't charged enough, so we went out to cafeneto to drink iced-coffee and ogle the passers-by instead.

now i'm back to nap for an hour or two; ta2 coerced me into agreeing to go to the cocktail room tonight. i think we might let the kid bring his wallet and cellphone this time :P
