Dear Relative or Friend (You know who you are):
At this juncture in time I would like to pause from my normal routine of activities and extend this message to you. I hope you enjoy this holiday season, in particular Christmas/Hanukkah/Festivus/Other. I would like to extend appropriate holiday wishes on this occasion. I further hope that your celebration is proper in accordance with tradition and carried out in a way fitting such a tradition. During this time of year I hope that we may all join together in non-offensive, completely sensitive gatherings. Perhaps we will be able to sing some politically correct songs of this time of the year.
With Regards:
Your Relative or Friend (Me)
You mean I can't say Chri*****? Who is offended by Chri*****?
You know, the ******* and the ******* and the atheists.
Time to be politically correct
I'm dreaming of a Caucasian Holiday.

Merry Cardmess!
So I know I haven't posted in several days. Fear not, I'm still here. Just busy at work and then when I get home I have stuff I am working on taking care of.
I am working on Christmas Cards.... and when writing Christmas cards one should be enjoying a glass of eggnog, so I am.

Blah to ESPN
So hello all. It would seem that part way through the 3rd quarter I got switched from the WVU game to the georgia game. I ended up watching the end of it on the game cast thing online. It sucks that they just decide, well, you don't wanna see any more of this game. But we won, 66-21, take that uconn. We are the Big East Champs now. And we could end up in the national title game. That would really be sweet.
Well, I have been around the apartment most of the day. I did more unpacking and putting stuff away. I need to put up my shelves, but I feel lazy and think I'll look into doing it tomorrow. More and more boxes are disappearing and things look like it is a real home which is nice. Now, if my knee didn't hurt so much things would be much better. But it does hurt, so oh well.
I'm gonna have to make another recycle run. Oh joy! But it gets stuff out of here. Plus I've been going through my stuffs, mostly my t-shirts and all and it looks like I'll be making a run to goodwill as well. And I've decided to sell my 64. So I'm working on getting rid of stuffs. However I'm also acquiring stuff, like my Christmas tree. So I think its mostly just a trade off. I've been finding various stuffs in these boxes I haven't seen for a while, like my diploma and my blue and gold Santa hat. however I have yet to find my foremen grill. I think that it is in one box that has some glasses in it that is waiting until the shelf in the dinning room is up.
Someone should send Stella out here.

I've Spruced up the Place!
Greetings Merry Blog-keteers! I hope you all had a festive Thanksgiving. Also I hope that you are prepared for a plethora of photos. There has been much a foot and so I am here to update all of you. As you can see, I have made progress in unpacking. I know that you are all impressed. Actually my office here is looking quite nice. I have my desktop set up, I have my router running and secured. I have my technical library. The closest is being a valuable storage area. And yes, part of it is functioning as a linen closest, since I don't have the real thing. I'm sure you noticed two things in the above picture. We shall see about addressing them in the two side pictures here. First off, on the left you will notice that I have hung some stuff up. I found my diploma and have proudly hung that up. Now I can bask in the amazingness there of. Also I have my commission up on the wall. Yup, thats the reason I'm in the desert right now. On the right, well I found that I do in fact have a little tree. While this tree does not satisfy my main tree needs, it does work well as a small tree to live in my office here. It is all festive. And yes, I have been listening to Christmas musics. Now then, lets move to the next room, my dinning room.
Ahh, here we see my dinning room. I'm not sure which way the table will be living, but for now it shall be like this. You can notice that I do have place mats, I'm cool like that. Also I have napkins. Its like I have a real home. I intend to put up some shelves on that back wall. That way I can put the nice glasses there, since I lack cabinet space to have them out. It also means that there is a nice display of them, or will be once I'm done. But yes, it is nice to be able to see my table.
And as you can see I have acquired my very own nativity set. I don't have some of the pieces I've grown use to. There is no world's fair camel. Snoopy is not there. I don't have an angel band suspended by fishing wire. But I do have a set, and that is a start, right? Oh, and while on the subject of Christmas decorations, I also got this fancy stocking set up. Now I realize that it is not my real stocking hanging there. However I have yet to stumble upon my stocking in all of the unpacking that is going on. But if anyone should notice my stocking, I would like to hear about it. But for the time being my stocking is hung with care. I don't have a fireplace, but I figured that this would be an adequate home for my stocking. Oh, and I have more good news!
As you will notice I no have a bed. I'm all excited. And actually I paid more for the frame then the box spring. Which I don't mind, cause I know that I will be getting the money back for the frame. I don't know that I will get the money for the box spring. I won't complain if I do, but you never know. So yes, I'm happy about having a bed. Yay! Actually, you can't really see it, but I do have more boxes piled up in the bedroom then you see in this picture. Plus I have various boards from my old bed set up. I'm not sure quite what to do with them just yet.
Oh, and while we are discusssing holiday decorations, I have a nice wreath on my door and I have some lights in my front window. So I am all festive! Hooray for Christmas times! Though I am still working on getting used to my desktop. I liked some of the buttons on my laptop. I had play buttons and such, plus volume control, which was a nice thing to have. But I suppose I shall adjust. Now then... have I forgotten to mention anything....Oh Yes!
My tree! I realize that it only has white lights on it right now, but I shall change that eventually. And you can't really see them well in this small picture, but I have blue and gold balls on there, and a blue point thing at the top. So goo WVU!! I have a very merry tree, I like it!

Let's Ponder...
Today we were outside, playing football. I was wearing a t-shirt. It is the day before thanksgiving. The weatherman says it may snow tomorrow.
I've basically been moving for a year now. Last thanksgiving I was finding a house out in Virginia. Then more unpacking there during Christmas break. Then I have to move back from college. Once that was unpacked it was time to move to the new house. After a while unpacking there I moved to New Mexico. Once again, boxes everywhere.
I'm tired, I feel it would be a good night to relax and kick back. For I like sleep.

Yes! 'Crisitunity!'
Hello out there in Blogland! I'm glad you have returned. Above you will see the wonder that was my living room earlier this morning. Actually my living room now looks quite livable. That is if you where to ignore the fact that you can see the dining area and that is still a bit of a mess. But speaking of the dinning area, I now have my table again. It looks really nice and its all set up and mostly covered with boxes of Stella's dishes. My dishes are in boxes in other parts of the house. Soon they will find a home in the cabinet and they can be referred to as our dishes. And while we are discussing the table, I did in fact have dinner at my dinner table. Which reminds me.... Do you know the one thing worse then going to the chow hall, seeing they had corn dogs for brunch and grabbing a couple, only to make it to your seat, take a bite and find it was not a corn dog, but a sausage wrapped in waffle (known as a jiffy). Well, what is worse is having a box of corn dogs, making corn dogs for dinner, only to find the last corn dog of dinner is in fact a jiffy!
So I have a few more pictures of the apartment with boxes all over, however the blog program is being fussy and not letting me upload any more pictures. So if you see more pictures in post then I got the thing to agree with me. I did manage to get all of my books on shelves. This leads me to know that I need more shelves. First off I have 2 that I don't really like, cause, well, they suck. Only one has books on it now. The other is holding board games and other such non book objects. And I have a bookshelf by my desk holding my technical library. Those are the only books that got sorted out. Eventually I will need to devise a system by which to organize the books here. Though there will be a need for more bookshelves when Stella gets here. So many books.
Hooray! The pictures are working again. Here is the laundry area. You can tell by the fact that that is the washer sitting right there. Impressive eh? Yeah, sure it is until you have to block yourself in behind the washer to get the hoses attached. And you have to change out plugs on the dryer so you can plug it in. But there is only a foot or so between the dryer hole and the wall hole. This should aid in the effectiveness of the dryer. This is a good thing. But yes, the washer and dryer are hooked up, they fit. All is good. I'm doing grand in the world, I am out of college and in my own place, I have a kitchen table, a washer, a dryer. Its the good life you know.
Now here is my office, or extra bedroom or whatever it is. It might have more boxes in it now. Or maybe they just got moved around. But it houses many boxes and various stuff. My backpacking pack is currently hanging in the closet. I think part of that closet is becoming a linen closet. I think it might be good to have one of them. Then I have to look through my closet. Most likely I will go through stuff again and drop stuff off at Goodwill. I am looking at stuff as I'm unpacking and thinking that I may be getting rid of some things. Like the 64. I mean, I like it, its fun. I just don't know that I'll actually play it or have room to really just have it sitting around. I am keeping the original Nintendo. That one is cool. Plus I have a drawer in the one bookcase that is next to the TV stand. So it has a home. And if you are curious the PS3 stays on one of the shelves in the TV stand and the direct TV thing is on the other self.
And here we have my room. Note the mattress on the floor back by the window. Yeah, so they decided to not bring the side rails of my bed. I have the ends, but not the sides. So I can't put it together, I can't actually sleep on my bed. But I can sleep on my mattress, which I suppose is a step closer. And it looks like I'll be getting a frame, and then probably a box spring and setting that up. So I will soon have a bed. And that will be nice. Plus I need to finish unpacking, but that will be a job for this weekend. As I get 4 days off and all. So life is good.
And in case you are wondering, I did get the web set up today. It was good. The movers came at 8, by 930 they were done all my stuffs was off the truck and they headed out. Started unpacking and then got a call from the internet people. I had an afternoon appointment, but they were running early and so they asked if they could stop by earlier. They came by and were done by 1030. I unpacked, had lunch, unpacked more and then got a call from the Direct TV guy. He was running early and so he came by and got that set up. So everything ran rather smooth today. This I am rather happy about.
Well, this weekend is Thanksgiving and such. I will be having Thanksgiving dinner with some of my Test Group buddies. I was invited to several other dinners and such, but I think that I'd enjoy this one most. Also it would seem that I have become part of the 746 Lt family. We have dinners out and for advent we will all be getting together on Sundays to have dinner. That way we can make sure no one is stuck home during the holidays. Because we have our family out here in the desert. As we are isolated from the real world and such.
I feel that this is enough of a post for now. I hope that you are all informed. Ta Ta....

Duffman can’t breathe! OH NO!
So greetings blog fans!
So life is going good. I am now have my most of my stuffs. Not all of my bed showed up. I shall have to look into fixing that. Or perhaps I will end up having to get a new frame. But then I might also need a boxspring. hmm....
Well, I'm not the newest Lt at the squadron. I have my interwebs set up. I am unpacking, except I'm taking a break for lunch right now. So I will enjoy that and then continue with the unpacking.

Go Banana!
Well it is another update for the day. Just a few little notes.
1) Direct TV is not coming today. Nor do I get to take advantage of the offer they had going to upgrade to HD for free. As it turns out the HD signal requires a different dish, a dish that is too heavy to be mounted on a tripod. And seeing as how I live in an apartment complex that requires dishes on a tripod, there will be no HD. They have rescheduled to Tuesday evening and I will be getting a regular size dish and receiver. Though I need to contact them again and see if I can get the DVR receiver for free....
2)Gila Monsters meant me at the airport. Sort of. The El Paso Airport has this nice carpet featuring Gila Monsters. I haven't spotted any real life gila monsters, but the carpet ones where there waiting for me.
3)Thank you all for the mail. I have gotten to read through it all. And I would like to thank everyone that chose to send me mail. I do hope that all the Halloween cards got to where they were headed. Due to travels and such it looks like I will not be sending out thanksgiving cards, but soon Christmas cards will be headed your way.
4) It is nice an warm here. To give you an idea of the weather that I get for this time of the year, when I woke up it was in the mid 30's. Today it will be in the 70's. That seems to be the trend for the upcoming week.
5) I suppose that soon I will need to look into Christmas shopping. If any of you have gift ideas for each other feel free to let me know. Also, from someone knowledgeable on the subject, I would like a prediction of Max's size. If I were to get him a t-shirt for Christmas, what size should I get?
6) On the subject of Christmas, since no one is coming to hook up my tv today I think that I will look into a Christmas tree to go with the ornament Stella said that she got.
7) You should all check out this here styling page!
8) Licking the end of a fountain pen does indeed make the ink flow better. And yes, I own a fountain pen and I use it to write letters.

Oh, those jazz guys are just making that stuff up!
Good News!! First off I'm back in the Land of Enchantment. I left Ohio is was like 30 degrees. Land and its about 70. Thats right, late November, 70 degrees, don't you wish you were here? Oh, but it gets nice and chilly and wintry in the mountain... the one that is like a half mile from my house. 20 minute drive and I'm in Cloudcroft. Nice little mountain village in a pine forest. So should I want winter I can go have winter there, then come home and put on a t shirt.
Also, WVU won. I know what your thinking, "Of course they won!! They are WVU!" and to that I have to say, Yes, yes they are. So all is good there.
Now then. It would seem that the Boy has had a flurry of blogging and seems like he might threaten the Skip for the 2nd place finish in the number of posts for November. And Skip, when you read this, that is sad. You are going to loss your birth month? Are you going to stand for that? But oh well. I will continue to keep on keeping on with the blogging, for life is a garden, dig it.
Today I will be finishing up my unpacking and such. I got a stack of mail, most of the letters I still need to read. But I would like to thank all of those of you who chose to send mail to me. It was good to come home to mail. I suppose that soon I will need to start looking into sending out Christmas cards. So a grand address list will need to be compiled and then stamps and such will need to be acquired. Luckily I know all about acquisition.
Also today I am getting the satellite hook up for my tv. As it stands I am a fan of satellites. They do much for me. And therefore I am against the Chinese and their missile. Luckily I know that we at least have a similar one that was designed if not build. But I do receive much info from satellites.
Also there is some basic organization that I need to work on today. Perhaps I will clean a bit. This Tuesday I get my stuffs delivered. So I will need to figure out where things are to be placed. Luckily I have a 4 day weekend coming up, so I have time to unpack and go through things. Also I need to purchase a Christmas tree. Then I will have to determine where to place it. Hmmm....
But for now I will leave you with a thought of mine during a conversation in Ohio. Time is in fact circular. We are all evolving into dinosaurs.

Unlike most of you, I am not a nut
Ladies and Gentlemen, behold! This is an acquisition badge. I happen to now own one. I am a qualified acquisition professional. An acquisition warrior if you will. My class is done, I have passed, I can now go home.
But first I've had most of today to goof off, which has been nice. Actually I had most of yesterday off, but yesterday I suppose I was suppose to study. I didn't study, but I did fine on my test. So all is well. And yes, I was once again in jewelry shops. But today I was with a friend, cause he was looking at diamonds. So I wasn't there doing my own research. But speaking of rings, go to Green Karat and click on custom rings, look at the one in the bottom right corner. Isn't it pretty?
Well, it is growing close to time for dinner. I suppose that I shall be needed to go. Oh, it was snowing here yesterday and it was cold today. I shall probably post again when I'm back at Alamo.

You can't keep blaming yourself. Just blame yourself once, and move on.
So Greetings and a very Merry and Festive celebration of the anniversary of the Birth of Skip!
I hope that you have all gone out and celebrated in the traditional fashion. I went out and had more Thai Food. But tonight I had the Japanese beer. In case any of you are considering Thai food, I would recommend the Pad Thai. It's noodles and some veggies and all, then you can add some meat to it. Also, note that Thai food can be spicy. Just so you are aware.
And just as a correction to a previous post, I hope all the families of the vets also had a good veteran's day. Hopefully you all enjoyed your weekend. As for me this will be a short week. As today we got out early, tomorrow is about a half day, friday is our last day and will be about a quarter day. Then I fly home saturday. Hooray!!
Well, I am just about done with The Time Machine. I know that it is just a short book, but I've been able to squeeze it in among studying and spending time with the guys and visitings on weekends. It is the second book that I will have finished while I am here. Next up is the Wolf of Wallstreet
Ho hum... I suppose that is enough for this post. I will post again. Do not worry.
I hope that you have all gone out and celebrated in the traditional fashion. I went out and had more Thai Food. But tonight I had the Japanese beer. In case any of you are considering Thai food, I would recommend the Pad Thai. It's noodles and some veggies and all, then you can add some meat to it. Also, note that Thai food can be spicy. Just so you are aware.
And just as a correction to a previous post, I hope all the families of the vets also had a good veteran's day. Hopefully you all enjoyed your weekend. As for me this will be a short week. As today we got out early, tomorrow is about a half day, friday is our last day and will be about a quarter day. Then I fly home saturday. Hooray!!

To Start Press Any Key'. Where's the ANY key?
Good News! I made it back to Ohio with no problems. This is good. Now I can go to class tomorrow. I was able to visit the family and all which was good. But now I'm back in Ohio. But only for about a week more. Then its back to New Mexico. I will have a bit to do, then it shall be thanksgiving. And that means that I'll get to have time offs. Which will be nice. Mostly I'll probably be unpacking.
I would like to take this festive ocassion to wish a very merry Veteran's Day to all veterans who may be reading this. I realize that it is only Veteran's Day Observed, but still. Should you be reading this and you are not a Veteran, please disregard.
In the wonderful world of blogging... not much is going on. The Skip has been making a few posts, but due to her constraints she has not been posting so much. The Boy keeps up his normal pace. We have a new blogger though, my friend Ben.
So would it confuse people if I were to link to a different site for each letter of a word? I think that tonight I shall see about getting some reading done.

Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that’s even remotely true!
Greetings from Virginia! Yup, in my multi-state adventure I am currently in another state. I got to visit my family. Yesterday I was down at Vtech and saw the game and my brother. Which was good. The boy is doing well. The Hokies won even though they had some terrible calls against them. I'm sure if you saw it you would agree. More importantly WVU won their game. Also it would seem that Penn State won, so we're good all around.
It is good to be home and see everyone. And having a festive Skippy Birthday observed. I saw the little Max and while at first he didn't seem to happy to see me, after a while he was happy I was there and wanted to read books and watch tv. So it was fun. I got to play with the log splitter. Which I must say works much easier then swinging the sledge.
Well, I had an interesting time flying in, hopefully the flight out will go better. Ho Hum, I suppose I will post again at some other time.

I always say a boy can learn more at an airport than at any school.
Greetings from Dayton International Airport!
So is it just me or when you think international airport does anyone else think of a big airport like JFK or Heathrow or Ohare? It seems I have been traveling in and out of little international airports.
And just in case you were wondering, the current threat level is orange as I have been informed by the voice in the airport. Please take all necessary precautions.
And while there is wondering afoot... did anyone notice the links in the last post? They were a little hidden.
Also, I passed my second test and turned in my papers for the online course. Only one more test and its off a short week with a bunch of case studies which aren't tested. So all is going well. I can earn my badge and then go back home. Then I can deal with things like setting up TV and internets and all of these fun things.
Well, I suppose that it might be enough for this post. I should do a double check of my gate and such, but I still have time before I need to do things like board the aircraft.

May all your disgraces be private!
So happy Thursday evening to all you blog fans. I know you are sad that there is only one post today. Also I realize that the last few posts have been low tech. This is partly due to the fact that I don't have my pictures here, and I've been busy the past few nights. But this shall hopefully be a more funner post. Yes, more funner. Try not to let it warp your minds.
So then, on the home front.... I have a date set up for my household goods to be delivered. Direct tv is hooking up a dish for me, cause being out in the middle of no where I don't really pick up any channels clearly. I got through so I'll also be getting internet for my apartment. Which will be a nice thing to have. Though I'm thinking I'll have to empty some stuff out of my fridge. Like I think there is still a thing of milk in there.
I'm going home this weekend, which shall be grand. I get to see the family types and all. Also it would seem to look like I'll be going to see the boy and another vtech game. I have now learned of the hand turkey! So yes. Also we shall be having some sort of skip-tacular festival. It shall be grand. I believe that Mr. Kite guarantees a splendid time for all. Also it would seem that I shall be coming home with some stuffs. As my video game which I pre-ordered is here. Plus my free blu-rays showed up. Yay! Of course it means I shall have to do some updating once my other computer shows up. I have a database to think of, which I forgot to transfer to this computer. Oh well.
And as far as here, it seems to be getting colder. It precipitated on us the other day. It might have been freezing rain or little snow or ice or hail or something. But it was falling out of the sky and was not in a liquid form. I am finished with my online class that I had to take. Tomorrow I have test 2 in the class I'm here for, so I shall study again once I'm done writing this up. When I get back I shall have to look into the other classes I need for my level one certification, but its not a big rush, because to be certified I need to be in my job for about 18 months. But at the two year mark of this job I should be able to see about going for a project manager certification, perhaps I can convince the Air Force to pay for that test. Also I need to look into retesting for my Professional Engineering thing. This time I know that I should be taking the mechanical test, not the general engineering test. I mean really, bio questions? I took bio in high school! I don't deal with bio. I deal in air planes and calculus and the like. Oh well. I suppose this means an 8 hour test for that. Then probably an 8 hour test for the PMP cert. Luckily I don't have a long test for my APDP cert, just more classes. OOOO.... but AFIT has an online Systems engineering masters, something like 10 classes and then a thesis. Now it does cost some amount of money, but I've heard that I can get tuition assistance to pay for that. Now that could be a good deal. I feel that if I can get education and cert.s out of the air force it would be a good deal.

Alright Brain...Its all up to you
So a few quick notes.
I have reason to believe that the VOQ here is haunted. Luckily I have not gotten bed bugs yet.
Thai Food is good, a bit spicy though. Thai Beer isn't bad.
I rock.
That would be 3 posts in one day, just so you can all be informed.
Now I'm tired.

If he's so smart, then why is he dead?
So it would seem that since I don't like the Beatles as much as other people in my family I am not allowed to listen to them. Actually, I do like the Beatles, so mooo to all of you.
I believe its Wednesday and so I wish all of you a happy Wednesday. Working on getting everything that I need to do done. Like actually putting away my laundry stuffs. That way I can use that bag to go home this weekend. Because it is in fact a 3 day weekend and as such I'm going home. So hooray for going home! Plus it would be good to knock out a few more of these tests. I think that I can wrap up the online course tonight, which would be good. Hopefully tonight I can get to some reading as well. For reading would be good. In case anyone is interested I finished my Simpsons and science book and am now reading the Time Machine by H.G.Wells.
Then I have a test this Friday, which I'm not overly worried about. It will be nice though, since I won't have to worry about anything over the weekend. So I get to actually relax, which shall be nice. Anyhow, I need to knock these tests out, we're going out to get Thai this evening.

And now for something completely different....
The Beatles
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I'm crying.
Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday.
MAN, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
goo goo g'joob
Mister City P'liceman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row.
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run.
I'm crying.
I'm cry------------ing, I'm crying.
Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye.
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy, you been a naughty girl and you let your Knickers down.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
goo goo g'joob.
Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don't come, you get a tantrum
Standing in the English rain.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
goo goo g'joob, goo goo goo g'joob.
Expert texpert choking smokers,
Don't you think the joker laughs at you? (ho ho ho, he he he, ha ha ha)
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snide.
I'm crying.
Semolina Pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower.
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna.
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
goo goo g'joob, goo goo goo g'joob, goo goo g'joob, goo goo goo g'joob, goo goo
(rhythmical speaking along with juba's).
Juba juba juba, juba, juba, juba, juba, juba, juba juba. Juba juba.....

The strong must protect the sweet
Merry Monday Blog Fanatics and Bored People!
So it turned out to be a pretty good day. We had a test today, it was scheduled to take an hour and a half. I took 29 mins and then had an hour break. So that worked out well. Plus we ended up getting out of class about an hour early which was cool. I got back and got to make calls! Aren't people lucky? They get phone calls from me!
I figured out my electric bill and paid that. 25 bucks for the month, not even bad. Plus they finally cashed my rent check which is good. And while I'm at it I managed to get my delivery date set for my household goods. Turns out that the TMO office at Holloman has yet to answer their phones. But I talked to Colorado and they have me set up.
Oh, and I got to go to Fuddruckers today. T'was very good. Now, I actually need to do that laundry today. Never got to it yesterday and then I need to start on some of these little quiz things. Hopefully I can knock them out before heading home this weekend. That would be nice, epecially since this week's test is on Friday and their is a 3 day weekend. Oh, and I need to organize some musics....
Anyhow, I shall post again later. Now is time to try this productive thing out.

Oh boy, sleep! That's where I'm a viking!
Merry November to all you blog fans!
Well, it would seem that we have come to a new month in the blogging and we shall have to boldly blog where no one has blogged before! Well, maybe not any one... but it sounds dramatic doesn't it?
So I'm still broadcasting from this remote location in Ohio. Except that there is more here at my remote location then there is back home. Stella came up for the weekend which was grand. She got to meet a few of the guys that I'm here with and we got to spend some time together. We got to see the Air Force Museum which was cool. Lots of airplanes and such. As of now I have seen all the aircraft that have dropped atomic weapons in aggression. Both of them. Also ended up seeing some movies. Saw American Gangster, which was cool and was a true story, which makes it even more cool. Also saw Across the Universe. It was a good movie and I would urge any Beatles fans out there to go forth and see it. However I do agree with Senor Forked that you do get the experience of being on way too many drugs at some points of the movie.
Well test 1 is tomorrow. I am not overly worried. It is all multi-choice and such. I'll be looking over the SOBs a bit later tonight, but I have some other things to deal with too. Like the thought of dinner. I would think dinner is a good thing. Plus laundry, I need to do some laundry. Oh, and the new Treehouse of Horror is this weekend! Hooray!
I am having fun out here and enjoying such. I shall post again later. I hope that this will satisfy a certain blogger who seemed upset that there had been no blogging as of yet this month.
