mychai's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm baaaaack! With pictures, opinions... the works! Hey, guys! Sorry it has been so long since I have written. I pulled a six-day special duty assignment all last week, and I never got an extended chance to get to a computer and update you guys on the goings on in my life. I'm sure you have all been gnashing at your teeth and been turning blue with sadness and despair that I haven't updated twice a day. Regardless of the fact that I usually only update once a day � at best. Still, I understand your pain. I've had the past few days completely alone. Christina is in far eastern Germany, right on the border of the Czech Republic, doing Army support for a few days. She called yesterday and said she got to go on a ride-around in a cool Army helicopter while doing weather operations. Yeah, I'm a little jealous. But then again, I get the place all to myself for a week. Sa-weet. On Saturday, Chris and I went to watch Napoleon Dynamite on base. It was pretty funny, though pointless. Christina turned to me half-way through and said, "So, is this movie completely without plot?" Yeah. But it's still funny to watch an old man euthanize a cow with a shotgun in front of a passing school bus full of elementary kids. I see it turning into a drinking game when it comes out on DVD. "Whenever a boom mike is visible, take a shot." After the movie, we met up with some friends at the house of a guy who works here in the weather building but isn't military. He moonlights as a portrait photographer. We opened up five or six bottles of wine, turned on some music, and took over three hundred pictures. Here are some of the better ones. I tried sorting out the ones that most represent the personalities of my buddies. The whole lot of us usually ends up in one of our rooms playing poker and drinking beer when we don't have anything else going on. We're a good group of friends, I suppose. Tell me what you think, will ya? I've been kind of out of touch with the news since last week. Catching up, here are my thoughts:
I'm on a bowling league on the flight I am on at work. I currently have the third-highest bowling average on the whole flight, and my team is currently in fourth place. How cool is that? Last week, I bowled a 170. I was aiming for 175, but alas, I missed that by five pins. For those of you who can't count. Just call me The Dude and mix me a White Russian. I have a weekload of stuff to write about this week. I go talk to a bunch of 3rd Graders tomorrow about hurricanes. That should be a lot of fun. I look forward to answering questions on why hurricanes blew Little Jimmy's grandma's trailer away in Florida. "Because you cry too much, probably," I'll tell him. Poor little bastards. Thursday is Thanksgiving. I'll have to write about things I'm thankful for. I'm sure porn and masturbation will make the list. Girls named Roach will not. Friday is, well, Friday. Hooray. And I just got December's work schedule. I work 12 days for the whole month. I've had harder jobs than the military. 12:38 p.m. - Tuesday, Nov. 23, 2004 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
