It's been a pleasant Christmas weekend. I went down to San Antonio to see my father's side of the family on Saturday. They were very particular about when this had to happen. Saturday because my younger brother had to work on Christmas Eve, the day we normaly gather. And it had to be prior to 5pm because that was when my youngest brother had to...

I guess I haven't updated in a couple of weeks. Hasn't really been much going on or much to say of late. I'm just doing the holidays thing. Work has been slow with a few extra days off. Spent too much on Christmas gifts, but I always do. I get the people who don't like the holidays because of the commercialism and the external impetus...

i was there!
when you took that picture!
of that peeing horse!
"I get the people who don't like the holidays because of the commercialism and the external impetus to give material items to friends and family and especially strangers who just happen to share an employer."
i don't understand that sentence, though. do i need pb to come translate it?
did you see how he wants me to drive 90 minutes to bring him food since he can't bring himself to leave the house with that ridiculous projector setup?

Translation for er (forgive me, and correct me if I am wrong, V.): "I relate to those who harbor disinterest in Christmas, due, mainly, to the fact that is very commercialized, and others implore us to purchase commercial goods and donate them to loved ones, or furthermore, to total strangers - one's with whom one shares an employer."
I would have never noticed the horse was pissing, had she not said anything... Kudos.
State dept. eh? Gonna go turncoat and white-collar on us? Meh... Everyone's doing it. I've got my fingers in so many pies, you'll be able to trail me north of the Mason Dixon line with a blind fat dude the minute my enlistment is up. I don't think I can make e-7 in my current billet and by the time I transfer, there'll be 2 deployments worth of other frogs in front of me in line for the position you need to advance... What's that? 6 years before I even get to step up to the plate - and that's not assuring that all goes well during the next 2 years when I'm in charge and I get good reviews, AND pass the exam, AGAIN... It's too much, dude. If I don't pick it up this time, I'm bailin'- and I'm pretty sure I won't, unless some big changes are made. We've painted ourselves into the same corner the Greeney Beanies did: too many chiefs; not enough indians. But, it was unavoidable really. Competing against the regs - we look like gods and make rate super-fast. So, now that we're all competing against one another and the reg fleet "shoes" are out of the mix, there's a bottleneck at e-6, whereas the army has theirs at e-7... Whatever. I'm not planning to stick around while they un-fuck the mess they've gotten themsleves into. If anything more promising comes along, I'm in there like swimwear.
Merry Christmas, Brutha. Give my best to the misses. Cheers, you two!
= Go Navy!

= Go Navy! I was up at 4am this morning to go help set up a 5k run/walk thing to collect toys for our local Toys for Tots drive. Spent a lot of the morning collecting toys and thanking people for coming out for the run despite the 30 degree temperature.

Dogs have owners.
Cats have staff.
Florence is a wonderful place to visit (and the local leather goods are impressive). Hope you're well and have gotten in some good riding.

Thanksgiving went well. My family managed to impress me by having yet another gathering without any incidence of fatalities or even permanant injury. Katy and I drove down to my Grandmother's house the morning of Thanksgiving. Got there at about 1130 am. My grandmother first upon being introduced to my girlfriend gave her a hug and offered her a mix drink. I love my grandma....

yeah sometimes those things go out. you'll have to see about sending the GPU somewhere to get the fan replaced. i don't think they're removable. in the meantime you may look at using another cooling solution and see if that helps any.
pb:
haha right. tell ya what, find out how much that card costs. then, send the one you have to be repaired. use the difference in cost and buy someone something nice for christmas.
or not.
or not.
Just got home a little while ago from seeing Casino Royale.
I really very thoroughly enjoyed it. It had a great mix of action and actual plot. The last bit seemed a bit tacked on until it all played out, but then it made a certain amount of sense and even helps to explain some of Bond's character as seen in the later (earlier) films....

Pretty uneventful week. Had the 231st Marine Corps Birthday Ball last weekend. It went okay. Could have been better. It wasn't so much that it was bad as...well...I got voulentold that I would be the "narrator", which means I'd be introducing the Commanding Officer and the Guest of Honor. No problem. Then it was expanded to have me reading the traditional Birthday Message written by...

I'm going to threaten Ico with this the next time he dips his front paws in the toilet and then decides it's time to go snuggle with mommy.
guess it's been a while since I updated this. just haven't felt like it.

You are a god among men. Did you know that?
enjoying the change in weather. I really like autumn and spring the most. maybe because the weather is more balanced and I get more enjoyment out of it turning cool or warm rather than HOTTER for summer or COLDER and just plain miserable for winter. But I've always loved October. it's a good time for travel and I always feel more contemplative and productive. Having...

Yeah, I thought it was funny. Not sure what planet she is from. I was laughing my ass off. If I had only had the orange jumpsuit for mr. pumpkin and really shitty ski mask thats eyeholes looked like they had been cut out by a 3 year old with advanced Parkinson's disease -- I could have completed the Infidelic Slaughter Tri-Fecta.... Maybe next year.
can't sleep. being the old fuddy duddy that I am, I am usually asleep well before 11. well I guess it has a lot to do with my normally having to be up at 5am for work. But I am not working again tomorrow...so I guess I can stay up with the kitten for a while. He's in hypernosis mode at the moment. running around...
