Going to the field for a couple of weeks or so, so won't be blogging for awhile. Don't worry about responding, it'll be a bit before I get anything. Also, sometime in the next few months my blog is going to die. Maybe sudden like. Don't sweat it, I'll be back, and I'll jump in occasionally when I can. May be a year or two though. It's only a war, no big deal

You're dreaming, mack. The only way there will ever be peace in the region is when one side finally gets the balls to commit total genocide on the other. They hate each other to the death. The arabic side isn't afraid to resort to terrorism to acheive their goals, even if it means dying in the process, and the Israeli side isn't exactly afraid of commiting atrocities in order to stop the violence or achieve retribution. If peace was

I'm going to hell. I skipped church this morning to sleep in and play Guitar Hero II. Briefly, that game is AWESOME!!! Not worth skipping church for, I guess, but still awesome. I bought it yesterday, and I've been alternating jamming out with knitting on dharma's sock (yes, sock. it can't be socks because I haven't started the other one, silly.) and laughin

It does sound cool. Although I have to wonder if there's not a Jedi influence here...... What? I'm altruistic.....just very, very cynical.

And here is the Graduation video (long) : Are they doing all that at grad ceremonies at Huachuca now? Mine they just gave some boring ass speech and passed out papers, hardly any gunfire to speak of. And some of that looked more like Iraq than Arizona..............

My Marine Corps was hip, up to date, cutting edge This is true, but it was also the Corps. I've always been impressed by the Marines. They are well trained and highly professional, if frequently brainwashed pro-corps, out of their damned gourds, and or not the brightest in the bunch. Still mostly aweso

It's mixed for me. I love that I'm serving my country, I like that I'm helping people. I hate the Army, but I do love that paycheck every two weeks. If I could get out, and got the same pay and bennies right now, I probably would, or at least after my upcoming deployment. I did get out for awhile and tried like hell to make the same cash. Worked two regular jobs and anything I could get on the side and I couldn't after teaching fell through,

Bath and Body Works Black Raspberry Vanilla hand sanitizer, hand soap, body cream, and body mist. That hand soap is actually awesome for getting car grease out of the cracks in your skin on your hands. It's those pumice granules, I think.

The double points are a pain in the ass on the smaller sizes. I'm doing better with a set of size 4s....or is it 4mm. Meh. Regardless, I'm using worsted weight merino following that pattern on Socks 101 and coming out okay, but starting was an absolute nightmare. Jargon translation, DPN = double pointed needles. Circs (circular needles) are two needles joined in the middle by some fishing line or nylon. Usually you transfer yarn from one needle to another in traditio

Running update.....late. Sitting at about 190, no big weight drop, but down a couple of percent body fat. Woot. It'll come more when the milage goes up. Okay, so, erm......17 miles two weeks back, last week I got sick on the weekend and missed out on a bunch, so call it the rest week that was supposed to be this one, and a whopping 7 miles. That's right. 7. W

Could I get in trouble for that? For an anonymous note that is friendly, polite, and in no way threatening? Well, gee officer, I just wanted to make sure they saw it, and I didn't want it to get blown away. I don't know how they misconstrued my intent..............Meh. Basically, no harm, no overt thre

her Oy. Thinking about this just makes my ovaries ache. I need to dig out my anvil and beat some metal to even out the hobby androgyny. After I finish the hat. And maybe some socks........

Did you hear about the hijacked shipment of Viagra in Seattle? They don't know who did it yet, but the cops are on the lookout for hardened criminals...... And on that note, I went to see Pan's Labrynth yesterday. Wow. And again, Wow. Mister Del Toro, that more than made up for Hellboy. Frightening, mysterious, astounding beauty mix

I've had luck with leaving a very friendly anonymous note asking them to turn it down. Left under a very suggestive brick/cinderblock gently propped, even wrapped in a towel to prevent scratches on their hood next to the windshield at two in the morning. RUN GIRL, DO NOT WALK off post!!!!!!!! I can not stress the futility of living in military housing enough. It can (and it's always a surprise) be wonderful. But mostly not.

Maybe just a bad night. Lord knows I had a few at a truckstop I worked at in college. (the piece of crap one in Arkadelphia, Ar., right next to where they built the Cracker Barrel). My favorite was the ones that thought it would be fun to express their displeasure through the use of urine. That's just not right. (what do you mean it's a dry county, I'm so unhappy I'm going to piss on everything in the bathroom, or chuck a piss bottle at you on my way
