Space...
So then. First off, I have not seen Mama Mia. But I have seen a bunch of others. Kung Fu Panda is good and it matters not who you are you should go see it. Like I said in the last post I have gotten to see a bunch of movies this summer and have read many a book. I just finished up A Year in the Merde and I am now reading American Psycho. OOO... plus I have some books that should be showing up at the house anytime now.
Also, I have finished watching Invader Zim, as you may have gathered from my away messages. I like GIR. He was fun, I'm gonna roll around the floor for a bit, K? But now I am back to finishing out seaon one of the Orginal series of Star Trek.
For those of you keeping score at home...Since 21 May (the day I went back east so that I could get married) I have spent 13 days on leave; 3 days in Colorado; 2 days driving up and back from Colorado; 10.5 days in the office; 23 days in Alamogordo; 5 days flying back and forth to Florida (thats 10 different planes cause of connections; 8 in July); and currently 20 days in Florida.
For July: 2.5 days in the office (my current record)
8 days in Alamogordo
4 days flying
11 days in Florida
With about a week to go and another travel day

Movies and Books and such
Well, the upside is that on my trips out here I get to read a good deal. Since I've been popping out this way I've finished "How to Lose a Battle" and I've read both "Swine Not" and "Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy". Currently I'm nearing the end of "A Year in the Merde". So all in all I think that is more books knocked out then I've done in a while.
And movies, I must say that I've seen a lot of movies this summer. And I continue to rack them up and then see previews for others that I'd like to see. Now it would be nice to be home and get to see them with my group of peoples out there, but it hasn't really been happening that way. I must say that I have been very impressed by Iron Man and The Dark Knight. I think those have been my favorite movies so far this summer. There were plenty of others that were good and I enjoyed, but I think that those ended up being the best 2 I've seen so far.

Home (For now)
Alright, so I am home. At least for now. I think that I'll be home all weekend. I might even go to work at my office on Monday. As for next weekend, where will I be? My top 3 guesses are Alamogordo, Cocoa Beach, Colorado Springs. But could be about anywhere.
Now is dinner time.
Now is dinner time.
Ahh... Airports
Oh the joy of going to the airport. Show up all packed and dressed. Then you check in, you give your credit card to a machine and it tells you where you are going today, how you are going to get there and how many little side trips you'll be making along the way. Then you give your bag to a total stranger (note:this is the only time at an airport that it is alright to do so, for all other instances, please check with the announcements that will happen every 3.14 seconds.) Now that most of what you plan on taking on your trip is no longer with you you can move to security.
First they will check your ticket and your ID. They want to make sure you are you. If you are having an identity crisis it is not the time to fly. Next you move into a whole new line. Here you will start unpacking your belongings and then start to undress. (I'm thinking that I'm going to start checking everything but a book and travel in my underwear, hey, I'll get through security easier) They then x-ray your belongings to guess what you are carrying and where you'll be going (I think it is a game that they play, you know to pass the time). You then walk through a metal detector, I've been through some that you could have been cased in metal and would have gone off and I've been through some that if you seen metal in the last million years you'll set it off. Best of luck.
Now that you have made it you can attempt to locate your gate. Try not to think of yourself as a rat in a maze, if you do you'll only end up craving a chunk of cheese, which by the way they will sell to you on the plane, for the low price of $353.23 Exact change is always appreciated. If you manage to locate the gate you'll find that everyone at the airport is sitting there. They aren't actually all waiting for your flight (your destination isn't that cool) they just wanted to sit there (apparently your gate is).
You'll notice that there is a boarding time on your ticket, don't believe it, that is most likely when the plane will arrive. They will then "deplane" not my word, their. Think of the little guy from Fantasy Island, except now he is a rather large mean looking German, standing at the front of the aircraft pointing out the door "Deplane! Deplane!"
Well now that the people have managed to get off the airplane everyone on that flight will flock to the door thinking that they will be called up first and will be given the super secret better then first class seat. Actually today while in the airport I was down where there were 5 different terminals all next to each other. One person made an announcement that people needed to clear to the sides, groups at all 5 moved out of the way. Then the voice said that first class passengers could board. All 5 groups people started moving forward. The lady forgot to specify which flight. Now to make matters better 3 of the terminals had the door closed. Of the 2 that had open doors to the jetway only one had a ticket agent next to it.
Well, for the time being I'll end this here, most likely I will pick it up again and take you further through the process that is flying today.

I'm Going Home
Hooray! For those of you who don't know, I am going home today! Not really sure for how long. I feel safe in saying that I'll be there for the weekend. Most likely the begining of the week too. It would be nice to be home for a week.

A brief update
I am currently in an odd limbo in Florida. I may go home this week, I may stay till the end of the month. I'm not really sure.
I am looking at getting the car stuffs updated.
I have been told that we now have a dog. We will be calling her Bernoulli. She is an Australian Cattle Dog mix. So I will have to come home and say G'day to her. And here is a photo so the for the folks at home.

Blah
Ok, so I was just a bit down the other day. Its just that at times it seems like I am being forgotten and such, and it doesn't help that I'm being sent back and forth all over the place. Since I left to get married I have spent 18 days in Alamogordo.
I also realize that I haven't been posting as much, it is a bit difficult when I'm bouncing all over and such, but I have been trying. I've at least managed to get some pictures up. So I hope that you have all enjoyed them. And yes, I realize that I didn't get to talk to mom on the phone this week, I thought that Stella would have handed the phone over at some point or my mother would ask to talk to me, but it didn't happen. So hello!
As it stands I'm currently in Florida again. I got to go home to see Stella for the weekend of the 4th of July. We went up to the Inn of the Mountain God's on the 3rd to see some fireworks, they are the ones that are on the photo blog. We saw Alamogordo's too, I have a few pictures, but they are far less impressive. So there aren't any of those posted up. I also got too do some grilling which was nice.
Then today I traveled back. For some reason known only to those people who determine flight routes I flew by way of Chicago. Which really made no sense, but oh well. O'Hare isn't that bad of an airport. I don't really have any troubles with Dallas, part of it may be that I fly there a bunch. But as it stands now I might be going home on Wednesday. Of course I might also be coming back on Sunday. There is a great deal of flux in my schedule.
Anyhow, for the time being I am in Florida and considering some food, and something to do this evening. So I will try to post again later.

More 4th of July
So yes, Happy we managed to write up a paper and sign it. (The founding fathers made their resolution on 2 July.)
Anyhow, I have gotten some stuffs accomplished, it has been a rather busy day for me. First off I was in the parade that they have out here. Then there was a court of honor with the scouts. Came back and was getting stuffs together, the dryer once again works, I put together Stella's office chair and we built the file cabinet. Then it was time to grill and I made up some burgers and brats. Our friend Bill came over to join us.
The fireworks photos from the photo blog are from the Inn of the Mountain gods. We went up last night and got to enjoy them. Tonight we will be watching the Alamogordo fireworks. It looks like tomorrow I'll be seeing a friend from college and also the plan is to visit the pound again. Sunday we'll be visiting Las Cruces, just cause. And then monday I head back east for a while.
For now though, I think it is time to go watch ID4 with my wife!
Oh go check out the forky blog and the skip blog, they have some long entries to read.

So again I'm in an airport. This time I'm headed home for the 4th of July. Should be a good time. We are getting a dog, there is a parade, there will be watching of some movies.
Now, currently I am tired. I got like 2 hours of sleep last night. So it is time to watch some Simpsons, then I'll be able to hop on my flight and pass out.
Yay sleeps!

Happy July to All
I hope that you are all enjoying this July and such. Also I hope that you are doing something fun for the 4th. I will be back in Alamogordo, which will be nice, even if I won't be there long. Seems that I am getting to do a bit of traveling and all so I shall be bouncing about all over the place.
In case you didn't know Stella and I will be getting a dog, perhaps as early as this weekend. So that will be fun. Don't fear, I'm sure that once we get the dog there will be plenty of photos posted so that you can all see him.
Other then that there is not a lot to say currently. So I will close out this post and I shall post again later.
And congrats to the Fork, who for the first time had the most posts in a month.
