I don't have work today so I thought I'd pop in. Married life is treating both the wife and I very well so far, although it took a couple of months for her to get used to living in this crappy little town. School's keeping her really busy though. We're going back to LA next week to visit her parents and my brother, and to go visit the La Brea Tar Pits of all places. I went there when I was like 6, and all I remember is a big pond of tar and a garden full of statues. One of the statues I swear was a woman having her underwear pulled off. Kinda weird for image for the 6 year old mind to process. We're also gonna check out the LA County Museum of Art, which I've never been to and is right across the street from the Pits. Biggest art museum in North America west of Chicago. Should be fun.
I'd try to post on some kind of regular basis but I'm not exactly blessed with an office job, and it was always next to impossible for me to keep up with the random tangents the activity here went off on even when I had the time. But I still think about you guys, ya know.
Anyways, lately my free time has been wrapped up in trying to keep up with 24 and Lost. I started on Jericho too, which could be pretty good I think if it lasts for a few seasons, but I have yet to watch all the episodes of that I missed while I spent a month playing army in Louisiana. Oh, and The Shield returns on Tuesday. If you've never watched this, you need to. It might be the best show on television right now. I've also been wrapped up following this ARG thing Nine Inch Nails is doing, although now that new songs aren't being leaked it seems my interest is really starting to dissipate. I would think Gordon and Res are probably the only other ones that would follow that if they're still around.
I'm also returning to Iraq this summer for at least a year. I'd rather do 12 months in Afghanistan than 1 month there, but whatever. This is looking like it's going to be it for me as far as the military is concerned anyway. When I re-enlisted in '05 it was so I had enough money to have a wedding and a job that could pay for the wife's schooling. My plan right now is basically become a bum and live off her degree for a while. Should be sweet. She knows this by the way.
I'll try to post at least a little more than I have in the last 8 months, or if nothing else lurk a little to see what you nutcases are up to. Ciao.
