As I have said before, nothing becomes Korea like the leaving of it. It is good to be home. Even it only is for a week and then I get to go back to the grind in the land of the morning calm, once again. Thank God for the Thanksgiving holiday!
Digging out of my suitcase this evening I took stock of the damage:
Books bought-3
DVD’s bought-2 sets:
Star Trek Enterprise 2nd and 3rd Seasons.
Cash spent that I really should not have spent?-Don’t ask. More than I should have- not as much as I could have.
Wasted days of my life that I won’t get back? Well I don’t believe any day alive is wasted, however some are more useful than others. Using that scale 6 days qualify as more than moderately useless.
Serious blog posts avoided-10
Other blogs not read? Too many to list.
Which, by the way, leads to some quotable quotes I missed this past week:
If I was held accountable for retaining personnel I would shoot every person in Millington and OPNAV. You just can’t find motivators like that without flipping over rocks.-Curtis
If you’re looking for a crazy person to support your campaign, you aren’t going to do better than Pat Robertson, although George W. Bush did rather well with Osama bin Laden campaigning for him in the last weekend of the 2004 race. And Robertson isn’t a stranger to presidential politics. He ran for the Republican nomination in 1988 because Jesus told him to.-the Canadian Skippy.
Concerning Michelle Malkin:
Coming from someone who just got 86-ed/dehired/sacked/ outsourced to unpaid status/ pink-slipped/decruited/laterally transfered to the oblivion division at Fox, I find it admirable of Michelle to go on record as not willing to give up Jesse’s left nut for a real paying job working for the man when she would rather run a shoestring operation out of her basement at a loss. And she doesn’t care at all that Newsweek decided to pass on her after she posted hercheerleader videoresume on monster.com . So there. She didn’t want your stupid job anyway.-Tbogg
CNN reporter on Lou Dobbs reporting on increased military desertions:
By the way desertion is a crime, but the U.S. military doesn’t spend a whole lot of time hunting down deserters or prosecuting. If it finds them or they turn themselves in, they are prosecuted, but mostly they get a less than honorable discharge and interestingly, Lou, the Marines don’t seem to have the same problem. Marine desertions show only a very slight increase since 2003. The Navy is actually down and hardly anyone deserts the Air Force.
I wonder why?
This never happens to me. 🙂
Note From Experience: not all bar-girls go for the clean-skin look, there are some die-hard no-shavers out there. Sort of nostalgic really. This Brazilian thing didn’t come in when I was married and having regular* sex in the (I’m not kidding) 70’s and 80’s. Still picking curlies from the teeth at breakfast.-E @ L
It is good to be home!
