My internship organization just had a press conference unveiling a new commercial and radio spot they will be airing. Using cool music and mildly scary graphics, like blood going down a drain, the ads encourage people to testify against war criminals.

I couldn't understand what was discussed at the press conference, nor do I know exactly what is said in the ads, but I feel compelled to do whatever the mildly scary graphics want me to do. Good work, commercial makers.

Last night I asked Sara what she was looking forward to doing once she returned to the U.S. "Exercising," she answered. A good answer, because here in Mostar if you go running people ask you what you're running from, and if you go hiking you will explode, landmine style. As for me, I miss having a library and free books at my disposal.

But other than that, Mostar has been a great place to live and leaves me craving and longing for next to nothing. I've enjoyed 2 months of not driving or having a million things to do. I've also loved my all-sugar diet, based primarily on mandarin orange flavored Fanta. Yummy.

this comment has absolutely nothing to do with this post (except i do have a strange craving for a fanta) but rather is just an all around 'maria' comment. michal, angie, new me (aka susan), and i went to go see hairspray last night. you may recall that zac ephron of the famed high school musical is in it. or maybe not. i'm not sure how much pop culture news you get over there. first i thought of you. then i wanted to watch high school musical and sing and dance my way through the rest of the week. think about it...if life was a musical how much cooler would it be?

I'll always remember the night in Pittsburgh when I was supposed to go to a movie but turned on the Disney Channel when HSM was on and was instantly hooked.

I like to think our lives ARE musicals, even if our lives don't happen to know that.

Is Zac 18 yet?
