I return to this world after long stagnation and distraction. I don't mean to sound particularly self deprecating, but i interact so little on this site that my blogs are more a form of distraction and self help than anything else. If i don't go out and comment on all the people's blogs that i have become friends with for reasons that are fading from me i doubt i would get any comments at all. This is not a complainant but merely an excuse for way i do not need to keep it regularly updated because no one will feel particularly neglected or left out if i i go four months with out writing a single thing.
First for the fun parts about how i have hired a lawyer and 2 more have been hired on my behalf since last time i posted. Back in January i was walking my bicycle out of a bar (take not, not even riding and not going to drive home) when i was arrested for being drunk. I have problems with an establishment that is made for people to drink in that then precedes to have a posse of officers outside waiting to arrest people for drinking in that facility. I got to spend a lovely night in the county sheriff's jail, hired a lawyer, he will go to court a total of 3 times on my behalf and my night out will end up costing $2000, i will be charged with Disturbing the Peace instead of Public Intoxication and will loose my 4th amendment rights to needing a search warrant to search me for a year.
The story about the second two lawyers is much more amusing in my mind though. Over year ago i re-ended two women when they slammed on their brakes in front of me for no apparent reason. The damage to there beast of an 80ies 5 series was minimal, mostly do to the fact that i was only traveling at 10 mph. Neither my father or I who were both in the car sustained any injuries what so ever. on the other hand the couple that i ran into started screaming at me that "YOU BETTER HOPE YOU HAVE INSURANCE!" neither of them appeared injured but they waited until the ambulance arrived and got carried into it to leave. Now a year later they are suing me for emotional damages (for seeing each other injured) and loss of consortium (apparently this event led to their marriage failing). Did i mention one of them is claiming to be a man? I have a few hypotheses about the true story, most of them involving them intentionally cause the accident and either one of the people claiming damage wasn't in the car or the end of the marriage had a whole lot more to do with gender identities than anything else, but hey, i am y get to go to court for that one to! Who else can claim they are being sued for ending a marriage and emotional damage!
cigarette intermission, back shortly to continue writing, i suggest you the reader take one too!
In semi recent fun and jolly news I went to coachelle for a week (I know, its only supposed to be a three day music festival, but we had an exhibit in it that took for ever to set up so we showed up on Tuesday and didnt leave until Monday). If you want to see pictures of strange glowing bots, sun burned people and other such mayhem known as our project http://www.flickr.com/groups/flockwall/.
Last summer I worked in an architecture firm in London and arguably had the time of my life. When summer was over I came back here and returned to slaving away at school. I had all intentions to going back there this summer, but then the shit really hit the fan in terms of the economy. They are still having to lay off staff as we speak so they really cant justify hiring an intern. I was telling this recent series of events to a friend from London and she was asking me what I was going to do about it. I two thirds jokingly told her she had to find a job for me, next thing I now we are talking about how she wants a change of scenery, and I am joking around that we should get married and exchange citizenships, we talked about it enough that now I am not sure if it is a joke anymore. I real am going to laugh if it happens, but I think I have written enough for now.
Hope all of you are doing well, and a hug to you all regardless.
