Ohhhh... seaweed is cool, seaweed is fun... I have GOT to get this movie out of my head. I'm gonna start alienating people if I keep quoting it so much.
So we bid on our next post, which means THE END OF SRI LANKA IS IN SIGHT!!!
And the choices are:
1. Buenos Aires
2. Lima
3. Monterrey
4. Mexico City
5. Guatemala City
6. Vancouver
7. P. Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney
9. Santo Domingo, Dom. Rep.
11.Windhoek, Namiibia
12.London
13. Manila
14. Lilongwe, Malawi
Fortunately I probably won't be sent to any of the shithole african posts because of medical issues, and we're praying we don't go to London or Sydney because, as fun as they'd be, if I had to give up my fuzzies I'd cry. #8, Amsterdam, and #10, Warsaw, have already been nixed by the Man. But we'll see...
Oh, and as I'm listening to it, if you have any interest in classical music, may I HIGHLY recommend Mendelssohn's Klaviertrios 1&2. It's VERY powerful captivating stuff - I went on a difficult hunt to find it after hearing it on NPR one quiet night's drive home, and wound up sitting in the parking lot for an extra half hour just to keep listening... It still gives me chills...

Aw, I vote London, though and Amsterdam would've been my runner-up.
A redneck electrician acquaintance of mine once scoffed on a film set, venting about runaway production from L.A. to the North: "Goddamn Canadians are just Mexicans with sweaters."
Unenlightened, yes...but still sorta funny, I think.
