About Me:

So now the plan is to be in FOB (Forward Operating Base) Speicher (pronounced spiker) up in Tikrit, Iraq sometime before the elections. I just looked at my bank account record, and I've already spent $65 just on internet (not including cash purchases totalling about $15 - $20), and I haven't even been here a month. I hope the free internet up in Iraq is better than it is here. Or I read in the paper about AAFES (the people who run the PX, pay internet, alterations, barber shops, and the fast food restaurants on all the camps) testing out wireless internet at Camp Arifjan in Kuwait and that if it went well they would implement it at other camps. It said a monthly fee would be $30, but thats still better than my first month here already.
After paying off my credit card last month (roughly $688), it seems they have mysteriously heightened my credit line by $500, bringing me up to a grand total of $1500 in credit.
This stupid free internet. I can't go to Megatokyo either. I bet I'm already behind on two comics by now. In fact, I can't go to a single website on that Slow Links section I have over there. My favorite websites in the whole world are all...BLOCKED!!! Dang them. Dang them all to Hecka-decka land! At least I got on the pay internet this morning to do my email. And since you can barely do sh..crap at the free internet, the line is now a lot shorter. Oh well.

UPDATE!!!
---
To avoid further confusion, I say this:
Pay Internet: total access ($5/hr and now longer lines)
Free Internet: severely limited access (no email, blogs, personal websites, forums, etc)

Later, all.

Here's (a rather small version of) my current desktop. Enjoy!
I'm leaving for Iraq before the end of the month, before Christmas, and I'll be pretty busy for the next several days, so in all likelyhood I will no longer be in the United States next time I post here.
Bye bye.

I've only been back for a day and a half, and it feels as though I had never left. I went on a date with Ally almost as soon as I got back. We went had a little to eat, played pool for a while, ran in to Ryan McDonald and his girlfriend, and then went to see Shaun of the Dead--a very humourous (and british) parody of Dawn of the Dead. I reccommend to you all that you see it, but seeing as it is out of theatres now, you will have to wait for the DVD.
I sold my old laptop to Bushong for $1,000, and have now purchased this laptop from eBay: HP zd7260us. It should arrive tomorrow via Federal Express.
I have very little idea of what to get people for christmas, but if I don't do it now, I won't really have the ability back at atterbury.
Silly pickle, trix are for cucumbers

That makes Ally and me times three. Three pics of us on the front page :).
I'm-a-coming home from 1200 on the 24th 'till 1200 on the 28th fo' Thanksgiving break. Enjoy me while I'm here for I might be gone before Christmas (though at this point it is looking doubtful). I would actually like to stay past Chistmas just so I get to come home for it, but some would rather get out there as soon as possible and "git 'er dun."
