Wahid Starbucks Winter Latte, minfadlak

Amman airport, 10 hours later

Uneventful. Watched The Help and cried buckets. Very good movie.

Madame Bovary is a stupid book.

Took me twice as long to watch Crazy, Stupid, Love mostly because I kept stopping it to letch at Gosling.

First half of Pirates to reaffirm that Penelope Cruz does in fact annoy me.

Waiting for Colombo now, trying not to buy overpriced Jordanian wine and Dead Sea face masks, controlling the urge to strangle the parents of screaming children.

Must remember to buy Arabic cookbook upon return. Sorry Black Cobra, no post office here.

National football team is here. Sadly not hunky. Noisy though and giving speeches to much laudation.

The pervasive perfumery is quite nice and wonderfully contrasts the BO. Maybe government officials cannot afford soap under Abdallah’s regime (political joke! political joke!)

Music to buy: Macadi Nahhas, Rim Banna, Jadal, Rum and DJ Shadia.
Books to read: Gurbaksh Chahal – The Dream.
