10.03.2005Found an 1899 Indian Head Cent in a roll of pennies today, which was pretty cool. And it's in great condition, which is even cooler.
In other news, the Bolivian political mess continues, as per usual. Will there be elections in December? Will a third president step down in as many years? What will the different regions decide? Etc, etc, etc.
Meanwhile, I'm starting to polish up the chapter that covers Bolivia's political history from the 1930s (the Chaco War) to the early 1980s (transition to democracy). Take away the military coups and counter coups, and today's Bolivia looks like the late 1970s. Or maybe the 1940s, w/ the left cutting off its own nose to spite its face while "traditional" parties do what they can to keep their heads above water. Etc, etc, etc.
I forgot that West Wing airs on Sunday, not Monday. And since I missed this week's episode, I figured I might as well go up to my office and hammer out at least one polished page.
I guess that's about it. But I should also point out that Serenity was an amazing, fantastic, entertaining, funny, rip-roaring adventure of a movie. Wow. On the other hand, A History of Violence was one of the dullest things I've seen in a long, long time.
