Really Random Stuff
Jul. 18th, 2008 11:31 pmThis post is made completely of random. And because random things go better with random pictures... Here, have a photo of military dudes acting dumb (the things they do to entertain themselves... oy!)
If you didn't notice, he really did shove cups down his shirt. :)
1. Yesterday was an R&R flight which was nice. There were 76 passengers on a plane that seats 273. Even better was the fact that R&R flights have no weapons on board and no battle rattle. yay! I didn't have to fight the "stow your weapons and armor the correct way and I KNOW you know which way is the butt of that rifle, soldier" fight. It was easy peasy, just the way I like it.
2. We're doing a Kuwait turn today. Brutal, brutal trip. I'm jet lagged and waking up at odd hours. This will end well.
3. On the plus side of doing a Kuwait turn, there's a Subway shop on the military side and I fully intend to wipe out their chocolate chip cookie supply as soon as I get there (and woe be it to the Air Force if they beat me to it first.)
5. We're going to be arriving in Kuwait in the middle of the afternoon when it will be a bazillion degrees out.
6. I've been going through the German Rosetta Stone. Wonderful, wonderful program. I somehow ended up with the English Rosetta Stone on my computer and I'm halfway tempted to fire it up, go to the hardest bit and see how I do. This may be an indicator of just how bored I am.
7. My crew amuses me. Out of 8 people, only 2 of us were actually born in the states and out of the two of us: one is a first generation American (family from Barbados). We've got... 2 Guyanese, 2 Slovaks, 1 Trinidadian and 1 Cuban. Mix well and liberally with the United States Military and its somewhat amusing. I love diversity.
8. ( DW Casting Spoilers )
9. This post was brought to you by the number 3. As in 3 in the morning. When I woke up. When I say "brought to you by"... it's really code for "blame this post on..."
I'm going to go shut up now.
