Today was basically a family day. We went to Lake Arrowhead for lunch and some shopping. The trip to and from made me want to throw up. That's weird because I rarely get motion sickness on the way to the mountains.

Dinner was soooo good. It was all my mom's Korean cooking and I enjoyed it to the max.

Oh, and I've been in Iraq for over 4 months now. I'll be home in 3 months for 2 weeks. This 28th will be a year since I got commissioned as an officer. Wow.

Today is the 2,549th birthday of Gothama Buddha.

Moussaoui gets life in prison without parol?! Wow. I wonder if it's because they didn't want to make him a martyr...I guess there was not enough evidence to slap the death penalty on him.

Does anyone else think that Rep. Cynthhia McKinney is a shady congresswoman? On an interview with her and Soledad O'Brian on CNN and McKinney, she didn't answer any questions and left it all up to her attorney.
