Wow, two whole days without an entry. I'm sure this has lead some of you to wonder if I'm dead ( Read more... )

My head is absolutely pounding, and I don't know that there's anything I can do to help it. I'm planning on taking some NyQuil before bed; hopefully that will help. I haven't had a headache like this in such a long time-- Shoe says it's probably a sinus thing because of where it's located, but it's almost as if I spent all of today in front of the ( Read more... )

Okay. So, my sister came into town the night before last, and yesterday, we pile in the car to go to Family Day at Ft. Benning and see my nephew. "We" being me, Becky, Shoe, Gwendolyn, and Lilliana. I'll make a very long story short and say that we spent twelve hours in the car and never actually saw Alex. The guys at the base couldn't give ( Read more... )

I am exhausted. Gwendolyn woke up at 7:30 this morning; she's been getting up earlier since Shoe got home, she used to get up around nine or so. Anyway, it was my turn to get up with her-- and I say "my turn" like we've been dutifully switching off, but Shoe has gotten up with her every other day since he got home, without even waking me up to let ( Read more... )

Yesterday was Lucas' (throw_rug's) birthday. Happy birthday! You are the best. Figuratively speaking.

Bought a neat couch, it broke a couple days ago. In my defense, the part that broke was not a part which I'd put together, it was a pre-fab part ( Read more... )

So, Shoe and I are trying to figure out some way to pass the time. I suggest we go head-to-head in Halo 2, since it's his favorite game and he has no one else to play with. He says I won't have any fun because he got really good in the desert, like, 50-kill-perfect-game-against-two-other-players good. I tell him that my name is the Asskicker of You ( Read more... )

More movie reviews.

Collateral.I don't know about this stuff I read in regards to how this was Tom Cruise's career-altering performance or how Vincent is supposedly one of the ten most charismatic characters ever to grace the big screen, but the movie was a hell of a lot of fun. This was definitely "artsy" in a more palatable form for me, and I ( Read more... )

Shoe and I have been catching up on movies which came out in the last four months, which neither one of us were able to see. My super-late reviews in brief:

Napoleon Dynamite.Uniformly awesome. Best dance scene ever. The chick with the fanny pack rocks my world. As a bonus, extremely accurate portrayal of life in the western states which border ( Read more... )

Shoe's home.

..Well, that's sort of a lie, in that he's not home right now. He has a normal workday today, where he does all kinds of inprocessing stuff, and then he's off for two weeks. For free! It costs him no leave, we just can't go very far out of the local area. Which is fine ( Read more... )
