Thoughts

Well, almost 2 months into this now and overall, its pretty boring. Its really no wonder Bochco had to make up a bunch of stuff for his FX program "Over There" because otherwise, nobody would have watched. Nights are starting to get cool and believe it or not, it gets down to 30 or so during the winter. We also just had daylight savings on Friday night and noone bothered to tell us - we just noticed we were signing out of the gym 10 minutes earlier than we had signed in. So now at night when you're out walking around at 8 pm, it feels like its 2 am. I've already watched about 20 movies, all of 24 season 4, most of the entire Family Guy series, and the 4th season of Curb your Enthusiasm. Read 6 or 7 book also of various types and am re-learning Delphi. About the only thing I haven't done is start my German DVD course which I hope will get me to a 2/2 level for a 3rd language on my proficiency pay. It goes without saying that I'm working on Arabic. Iraqi is hard, but I'm keeping up with the MSA by getting through a page or 2 of Harry Potter each day. The basic vocuabulary is the same, so it is actually helping.

For those of you expecting phone calls, I'm sorry I haven't gotten to do it lately. We don't have a call center near us (that I know of). I hear there are VOIP phones somewhere and I will track them down. Otherwise, if you have broadband, I urge you to get a computer headset with microphone so we can talk free over Skype.

Aside from that, not much going on.

UPDATE: I realized today that my command reads this blog from time to time. So in case my CO or 1SG are perusing, I just want to clarify that my use of the term "boring" above refers to the "monotonous and nothing exciting" meaning of the word rather than "needs more to do"!
