Really Random Stuff

[elleflies]

This 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. David Tennant is continuing on as the 10th Doctor into season 5 Yay! Maybe they'll shut up about Robert Carlisle now. I was never thrilled with that rumor. Also, DT took them to the bank. Nice.

At least that's what the article says. I'll feel better when I see official confirmation. Anyone run across that yet?


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.

Well, yeah. On screen, but still! Technically, she could be his daughter. Okay, think of it this way: she's younger than us. Ruminate on that for a minute.

Dude, you know that was his second thought: "She's hot! She's a Doctor's actual daughter!" *snort* Oh, lord above.

Only by three years. *g* Maybe it's all the time I've spent around the soldiers, but I'm more inclined to give him a high five over this. *goes and hides*

He's a man. We can't expect him to be intelligent about these things.

lol, but they keep getting younger! You notice that? And if she's 23, that's almost 4 years here, yo.

*gives DT high five*

I'm sorry, I think being nearly half his age his creepy. Let's just hope no one under 20 is ever cast. ;)

If that ever happens, I will join you in being skeeved out by the creepiness.

*laugh* He's only got about 4 years difference left to reach it.
