So I've discovered this cool snackfood from Israel... Individual peanuts inside a baked sesame flour coating. Mentioning this is in *no* way meant to incite a 5-page debate about the current Palestinian insanity, okay? I'm just mentioning a tasty snack. I'd be happy to send some $1.00 bags to my friends...

Otherwise, it's just been more of the same. I'm in the middle of aircrew...

Okay, I've been waking up for the past week with a different 60's or 70's sitcom theme stuck in my head. "Green Acres," "The Addams Family." "One Day at a Time..." Could it my life passing before me -in audio- as I die a slow-motion death? And all it's amounted to is TV?

Things are slow here, which is exactly the goal. In any case,...

I had that MBD last week but I didn't feel like I lost any real weight, just water. Pissing out of my ass 12 times in 24 hours- I'm sure glad my toilet paper has aloe vera on it.

Oi!!! Slacker! Send me your Egypt address! Care package may be forthcoming.

I've identified a dreaded new enteric malady here at MFO North Camp: Mad Bowel Disease!!!

Early signs of infection are crampy lower abdominal pain, nausea but no vomiting, and myalgias/arthralgias. Ultimately one suffers multiple, malodorous, copious fluid bowel movements.

Ick.

I spent all night and day with it. I feel 10lbs lighter.

Journal entries can't all be pretty.

that's okay. you're keeping it real and keeping the peace. how can we not admire you?

Green Acres is the place to be,
Farm living is the life for me!
Land spreading out so far and wide,
Keep Manhattan just give me that countryside!

New York is where I'd rather stay,
I get allergic, smelling hay.
I just adore a penthouse view,
Darling I love you but give me Park Avenue.

The chores!
The stores!
Fresh Air!
Town Square!

You are...

Rush Limbaugh on Armed Forces Radio! A little bit of home away from home for our boys. Too bad he's such a moderate. Where's G. Gordon Liddy?

It's the weekend here: Friday and Saturday. I'm scheming, trying to bump into this adorable Australian Army captain who arrived last week (see "what gets me hot" block to the left.) Being descended of exiled 18th century British...

Yes, you're right, Murkling! I interviewed out in Tacoma last Spring. These are the runner-ups. INKEDgrrl, she's fair but freckled, lithe, smartypants wireframes, and with a kee-rayzee accent!

I finally received my local, personal Internet access.

WooHoo.

Does anyone use one of those DVD rent-by-mail services? What's your experience been?

I've just started a book, _Behold a Pale Horse_ by William Cooper. This guy is a trip: black helicopters, UN troops training secretly in the US National Parks, FEMA subverting local governments, the Trilateralists. I love paranoia!

Stock up on canned goods and...

Has anyone read the UPI report on plans for an invasion of Iraq? 250.000 troops! Eeesh. Noncomdrone is getting out (he thinks!) just in time.

Hedgehog capture plans are on hold. I'll wait until I'm back in the USA and buy a pup. Or cub. Or philly. Or whatever a baby hedgehog goes by. Then I can teach it to fetch the paper.

I'm going...

I believe Suicide Girl Nic is looking for a vibrator shaped like the pope... might be hard to find in Israel, though.

Have I mentioned how hot it gets here? I mean it's like another planet from 9am to 7pm. Even the birds are panting!

Speaking of fauna, we have hedgehogs living all around the post. They remind me of penguins, the way they have so little fear of people. Up until you're 2 feet away they just stare, then they walk off in no apparent hurry....

If you pick one up it'll be scared and probably roll into a ball. However, when that head comes back out WATCH OUT. Those little fuckers can carry a mean nip.
go_lately:
HEDGEHOGS!!! i can't believe you didn't ask me about this you dork. yeah they'll roll up in to a ball and get all spikey and then probably bite you like chiquita and INKEDgrrl said. and the thing with those fuckers is that once they bite, they don't let go, they hang on like a fucking pittbull. like you can shake them around on your finger. i found this out the first time cleo bit me and i shook my hand just through instinct cause i was totally surprised, and thank god she had a supergrip cause otherwise she would have gone flying at least 10 feet across the room. and my best friend's favorite animal is a penguin! where did you go that you could get so close to one? oh yeah and hedgehogs, man, they are INSANEpoopers. like, their poop is huge and stinky. and they'll do it, i promise wink

I'm smarting from missing INKEDgrrl's much-discussed set from the other day. I'm still planning on having her over for dinner to meet the family. They'll love her! Especially Uncle Fester, I know he'll do that lightbulb trick.

Anyone into Tupperware, for the kitchen *or* the bedroom? We can all help out SG member Wenzdae by ordering some. I need one of those little wedged-shaped containers...

So, let me get this straight, you want to pay me to sit on your dog? Wait, I thought you didn't have a dog? I think I need to send you some cookies.

We had a day full of mandatory fun on the 4th. Sort of like the office Christmas party you really don't want to attend. Rather than an idle day or another day of work, we played softball, volleyball, BBQed and drank some beers. The Morale Welfare and Recreation office flew in a band called "Homemade Water," who did some decent Dead and other palatable AOR...

4800bps. That's my connection speed today.

We celebrated Canada Day last night with the Canadian contingent. Great meal of salmon, prime rib and these delicious little meat pasties -supposedly a recipe from Quebec. I was introduced to ice vin, a dessert wine. The host explained that it's made from grapes harvested very late in the season, then lightly frozen prior to being pressed. This concentrates...
