Last week, Dan and I literally had plans every night and on some evenings two things. This week looks much, much easier but perhaps I am just deluding myself because a number of Congressman are arriving on Friday (a weekend day).
Thursday night we went to a party with the lesser cast and the crew of Hurt Locker – a movie being filmed here in Jordan about a bomb de-fusing team in
Iraq. Ralph Fiennes and Guy Pearce stayed in their hotel rooms. Just like the Vietnam War sparked a bunch of Vietnam themed movies – the Iraq war is doing the same. Apparently Jordan competes with Morocco and Spain for Iraq desert shots. Spain has more amenities for celebrities but Jordan’s army will lend you their tanks and army at a really good price. Dan charmed the crew telling stories about his field trip to the morgue. I just smiled a lot and expressed interest in the upcoming Harold and Kumar 2 (which several crew members had previously worked on.)
This weekend we also bought a local television. Jordan uses European-system television and DVDs so our own TV is really just a Netflix-player. Our local TV still needs to be hooked up to a satellite up on the roof so it is less useful than our American-system TV but has more potential.

LOL, it is interesting that you had to buy a local TV. I am kind of surprised that your other TV doesn't work the same. I also think that the party with the movie cast would have been very interesting.
