It's raining this afternoon out here in North Africa, and while I was walking here, I noticed that I could see the droplets of rain ahead of me, and I could see them hitting the puddles and making ripples, and then it struck me that I seemed to have wondered into some sort of alternate sphere where all meteorological laws of physics somehow didn't apply to me, because I simply wasn't getting wet? It's as if the God of weather phenomena was playing a prank on me or something. Weird - just thought I'd share with you my recent experience. Please feel free to share any such weather phenomena that may have occured to you.

Went to a house party last night (What???). Yeh - I did, for real. Apparently one of my roomies new a guy that new a guy that new of a guy, who heard something about a party from a guy on the street. So - we thought we'd go. It was put on by the homeboys who work at the French Embassy here, (and we actually were invited despite my aforementioned lie) and it was a swell time (did I just say swell?). I had interestng conversations with a bunch of really nice people, and met a guy from Maine. After the initial "cool - you're from America too" reaction...I felt as if my territorial novelty of being the only Westerner was threatened, and I soon urinated on his leg (just to let him know who the real novelty was).

I also wanted to bring a gift as a sort of thank you for hosting this party, so I attempted to purchase a French flag at the store - they were all sold out, so I improvised with a big white bed sheet. (Ohhhhh, no I just didn't say that, yes I did.)

That's it. I have a midterm tomorrow, so I better put the 'stud' in study. Ohhh, Happy Valentine's Day!

Eating: my words
Wishing: the rain would go away...whoa, kick ass, it just did...ummmm, how about a moped with phat rims...damn.
Etc: I dropped my Canadian cover story last night for fear of them wanting to speak French to me.
