Day 13 - Rain, rain go away.

Woke up.  Still raining.  I haven't seen the sun in three days.  Jesse fixed the TV.  Apparently the cable box only turns on if you use the remote.  They have four channels here called TeleCine.  They show movies all day long.  They are titled, Premium, Action, Light, Pipoca and Cult.  I've watched a lot of movies in the last week.  Transformers 2, The Transporter 2, Wild Child, some movie with John Candy as a con man, some movie with Reese Witherspoon as a Victorian nanny, Bloodsport, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, some movie about four black kids who become crack dealers in Boston, and a bunch of other random stuff.

Today though I spent the day figuring out how much longer we needed to be here so we could reschedule our tickets.  We're going to be leaving on the 12th of August.  I knew it was a possibility, and I thought I had grown accustomed to the idea, but I'm really bummed.  Everyone is going to be going to the Watermelon Festival and I'm going to miss it.  I'm also going to miss going to Sarah's play with Kristin.  This new job is kind of tearing all my personal plans to shreds.  It's a quite a downer.

I keep telling myself I'm in Brazil, but I could be in a hotel room anywhere in the world where I can't talk to anyone, the service sucks and the food is worse.

I found out at the end of the day that everything I've done for the past two days needs to be redone because my equipment was broken.  I can't tell you how excited I am about that.

I'm going to watch The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift on TeleCine Action.  I don't expect it to be good - just to get me out of here for two hours.
