ho's on my mind

i screamed in horror as my friend ran up to a table of live crows and devoured them, blood dripping from his mouth. it was the most disturbing thing i had ever witnessed. startled, i opened my eyes...

the malaria prophylaxis in conjunction w/ stress united to bring me the latest installment of "julie's wacked out dreams." i fumble around looking for the phone; it says it's 3:38am.

i've had a lot on my mind lately. yours truly hosted nearly 30 peace corps volunteers (and o.h.'s little sis, bevelyn) for ho easter. dan, SoVo (southern volta) social engineer, and i coordinated the livest shindig this side of the volta river/lake. after the weekend, some of us took a trip down to accra to go to the mall (gasp) and the movie theater (double gasp) to see slumdog millionaire. it was almost like being at home until we stepped outside and a man started begging for money...wait...that actually IS just like home.

the newly elected president of ghana, john atta mills, is in ho this weekend. yesterday there was a big procession of cars, and i expected major security measures to be in place. but along comes atta's car with him hanging out of the sunroof waving his louis rag (j/k): picture high schoolers going to senior prom hanging out of the limo. hilarious. i'm guessing mr. mills hasn't seen the zapruder film...
