Gonna finish my week driving Humvees after spending 6 days on surveillance teams. Fun stuff and three days of promised debauchery at the end! woohoo! will this mad merrygoround existence ever end!??!? It's been a good week though, taking lots of photos and working on them. THe base drones turned off my internet while I was out in the field. :-( so I am gonna...

Back to work. On surveillance team again so I don't to stand normal guard. It's a nice break..except for the ttropical storm that soaked us last night. Just keeping busy with lots of work. I am getting more than a little sick of Cuba. I am ready to get back to the States and eventually, hopefully, to Seattle. It's all nebulous half-made plans and speculations,...

I actually think i HAVE a copy of Vurt somewhere...some guy i knew and fooled around with once gave me lots of stuff, that book included. it's probably buried somewhere in my dad's house, among all my other non-college crap.

I like my stationary life, but I wouldn't mind being transient for just a little while at this point. 
I hope you aren't working more than I am! Don't worry about me though, when I'm not working or on the damn computer, I am sleeping. I hope things are well with you and I pray for an expeditious release from Cuba. I'll see you in the Northwest if not sooner!

I'll see you in the Northwest if not sooner!Keeping us busy this week even though we are taking a break from guard duty in my section. Did a lot of running around the jungle firing marking rounds and blanks and basically doing what lots of little boys do in thier yards and playgrounds. *bang bang bang bang* " Yer dead!" "nuh-UH! I got you first!" " No way I shot you!" "Noyedidn!" just...

How ironic. You watch Amelie and get all sappy and I'm gonna sit back and watch "We Were Soldiers". It's been rainy and cool all weekend and I have a terrible cold. Perfect day to get tofu w/garlic sauce w/ my mom and curl up w/ kitty and listen to the rain and watch movies all day.

I just wanted to tell you that the desktop you did of me is GORGEOUS and I love it. And I was looking for one of Marla to put up, and I think you could make a nice one of her if you wanted to sometime; she'd love it! (And so would I, I'd rather her picture on my desktop then mine...!)

When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream (float up stream)
Please, don't wake me, no, don't shake me
Leave me where I am - I'm only sleeping
Everybody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind, I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such...

that is a really great desktop of Dia. I've always like the white text/black background multiple font thing....it really works well with that photo. nice job.
Taking a good few days of liberty (that's military speak for "days off of the usual drudgery" ) and spending them mostly sleeping,playing with images on my electronic workshop, drinking, hiking, and watching movies...um...not in that order. I've sat through so far From Hell, High Fidelity, Mulholland Dr., Serendipity (cheesy...uh roommate picked it out...really) , Killing Zoe, and tonight they are showing Bourne Identity at...

maybe the dream came from an underlying desire to have an assload of kids and rent an apartment in a one story complex that spans for miles around.....
by the way, where is this swamp base you speak of?
the funny thing is that solisis base zero actually IS on a secret mission..... MU HU HU HA HA HAAAAA!!!!

Edy's Tiramisu ice cream has the description of "Tiramisu flavoured ice cream with pieces of coffee-soaked spong cake and espresso chocholate swirls"
they should have just put "epicurian orgasmic yummyness"
They seem to be tightening the screws a bit here at work, but it doesn't seem to effect the people who are really doing the work too much. Just more stress they want to push...

Rumi is one of my all time favorite poets! Right up there with Ted Hughes and Bukowski and Gary Snyder and the Romantics and the Beats. I especially love the Coleman Barks translations...he came and read at my university once...it was awsome to hear Rumi read by this guy with his Georgian gentleman's draaawl.
and you are my friend
and it has been a great comfort to me, one of the only ones I have out here
and I thank you. I really really do.

Awwww shucks 
Maybe there is a chance you will get to Jacksonville before I leave NC and we can geek out about Rumi over a beer or some coffee. What would be doubly cool is if you happened to be there the same time noncomdrone is and you can keep each other company after I leave you two behind. That's right. It will be MY turn to leave. But hey, maybe we'll catch up in Seattle or Portland if you can convince your ladyfriend to go out there. *hugz*

I'm sorry to hear about the staticky connection, but even the best relationships can't have both people on the same level all the time. *Hug*
I'm sorry to hear about the staticky connection, but even the best relationships can't have both people on the same level all the time. *Hug*Well after working for almost two weeks, the computer lines off the island were all down. They are finally back up so I have some time to play online until I go back to work tonight. It was kind of fun, being out in the field for a week or so. No rain at least. Not much sleep either. So I spent most of my...

In October everything here is orange and red and yellow and pretty and its not cold and not warm... love it!
Finally watched Donnie Darko last night. That movie was incredible...beautifully done! I had to sit there i the dark for a while and regather my grasp on reality. I have that problem with books and movies...some people can't suspend disbelief and don't get into movies...banality's grip on the everyday mind i guess....but I have the opposite problem...alot of times after a movie or a reading...

woo hoo! I have a couple days off of that amazingly horrible suck schedule. I am going to eat Snicker's Ice Cream...and and..and watch Donnie Darko and Love and Human Remains until my eyes fall out. And I am gonna SLEEP! It's so wierd. After being here for five months I CANNOT sleep more than 4 hours at a time. I wake up automatically. And...

Echo, tell you what, if I make it Seattle we'll organize a road trip to New Orleans. I can probably get cheap hotel rooms...or hell we can just crash with friends. I lived there a while back and still no some phreakies there. :-)
more wierd dreams...sleeping in the afternoon is so fun:
another traveling dream today. waiting at a trainstop, drunk or coming down...not sure which and talking to an old blind bluesman about Robert Johnson and the ghosts that live on the moon...they come down on the moonlight....

drat. given the draconian image size requirements for the profiles pic (shakes fist at O in false rage) I had to cut that one a bit short. No it's not in the jungle, but I am having to test some things out on the camera and computer. I've never shot myself (with a camera) so I have to test a bit. I should probably also swim for an hour and do some weights before I take pictures of myself again (almost false modesty)
anyhow.
anyhow.
Gotten a couple days off the usual guard schedule to do some super sexy secret agent squirrel type training. Fun stuff. It's keeping my spirits up here in the middle of the ocean while events back home develop in a way as to make me heartsick. Blagh and Phooey and an emphatic Harrrrrumph! on all of that. Maybe that will even solve it. Someone took...
