Just like I always remembered them – gray, dusty, 120 degrees in the shade. This stuff is killing my eyes. I’ve never used so much eye drops in my life. It’s all AC now – all the time. From the apartment to the car to the office to the mall to the gym back to the apartment. Cozy. Simple.

Had an evening with some expats the other night. Must admit, the villas around here are really nice inside. The best is to have a playroom/bar area downstairs. Makes for good parties. Necessity if you have kids (and most do). These were friends of one of the Americans I work with. Mostly Brits and Australians. The host makes some serious beer and wine. Not like my prison brew – really, really well done stuff. Nice to get out and talk to humans for a while. Even got to play darts… badly, but my team did win one game on a surprisingly accurate, last minute shot from me. I’ll take it.

Nothing new otherwise. Just counting the days before I can be home. And watching my Twin Peaks DVDs. The whole first season. I forgot what a strange character Agent Cooper is. Last night was the third episode which had Cooper’s dream (with the short guy dancing). I love the lines in this show. “My name is Mike. His name… is Bob.” Goofy stuff.

Thinking of going to a “tea party” rally in my area on July 4th. I figure if I can listen to the Imam go off over the loudspeakers a few times a day, I can spend an hour listening to Republicans complaining about not winning the election.

    You won’t see many Republicans at those “tea party” rallies…Mostly nut-jobs that protest anything..you know, the ones that think aliens talk to them, the ones that worship shrubbery, those types of loons. It has gotten so bad that Republicans are looking at American Idol is a big victory for them, because the white-bread Christian guy won over the goth, spiked hair, androygenous guy (I know I spelled that wrong). The rest of us are trying to fix the economy and these idiots are worrying about who won American Idol! Well, to quote my new favorite song, “First Call” by NOFX…”Shut the f#%^ up and buy the next round.” See you when you get home.

    Careful – those would be my neighbors. I’m sure some of them worship shrubbery. But many of them are certain that Obama has brung the Apocalypse to our country. Which is not bad for four months work…
