Stupid Steelers

Ugh...what a disaster of a game last night. If that weren't bad enough my AFN is all jacked up so this is what my view of that travesty of a game looked like:


Actual in-game view. >:(


On the plus side...this arrived today. Planet Earth and three other BBC nature documentaries all on Blu-Ray. I'm in love with Amazon Prime. Free two day shipping even makes the creaky APO system somewhat speedy as my stuff arrived in 5 days.

Amazon Prime is seriously the best $75 that I've ever spent...possibly in the history of purchases.

Heard around the office

To a colleague while setting up his Menorah: that's what Jews use to count down the days to Christmas, right?

Good times.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Nice weather

Seems that the weather back in the States is getting crappy. It is still gorgeous here. Even though everything is dusty brown during the day there are still some nice sunsets - these are from today.

Sadler arrives in Baghdad

A buddy & former colleague of mine from the Pentagon has started his own adventure in Baghdad just down the road at MND-B. I managed to stop by for a few minutes after a run to the PX.

Why China isn't a threat

They have nothing better to do than comment on GnR's long-awaited Chinese Democracy. I don't know why they bothered...the album is meh.

On the other hand I was surprised to discover that myspace still exists.

Nice Day and moving news

While DC was suffering through 30 degree weather is was a nice, balmy 75 degrees here in The Dad. Not too shabby for late November. I suppose I should enjoy the relatively nice weather as I learned today that we will be moving to Basra in the March time frame...right when it starts to get hot...like 130 degrees hot. Anyway, a picture taken about an hour ago:
