It's been rainy over the last few days. Before that we'd had a respite from the rain and the ground had dried out. I assume the rain means that the parts will soon be in for the Mercedes and I will have to go lie in the wet grass to install them. Sigh.

I am reading a hilarious book, The Sex Lives of Cannibals. It has nothing to do with sex or actual cannibals. It's a non-fiction story about a young couple who go to Kiribati to live for two years. Live on one of the more remote Pacific islands comes as a shock to them. The author has a great sense of humor and a nice way of telling a story.

I bought it because I wanted to see what others were saying about living in the Pacific. I expected a whiny complaint about life in the islands. But, happily, I was wrong.

As you may know I want to write about my experiences here on Guam. I am somewhat stymied by what I can do to structure the book. I'd thought about building it around my BLog entries. But one of my fellow students announced that she was writing a book about Guam based on letters she was writing. Too close to my plan.

Then I thought about basing each chapter on something significant that happened and ignoring the chronological structure. That is how Troost wrote 'Cannibals'. Sigh. Not sure what to do.
