Procrastination

So, today is my first day off since I got hired last Friday, and I'm enjoying it, but I've got so much to do, before 4:30. (Chris and I are going to a movie in Sioux City tonight...good end to a day off!) But I thought I'd put a list out here to see if I could get it done...(Taking a cue from you awhile back, Amanda!) So here it is:

Call Little Italy's (possible second job?? They called me after all!)

Work on Math and English (good ol' correspondance, too easy to procrastinate...)

Clean up room a bit. (Not desperate, but it's got to be done sometime, right?)

Ok, so I thought I had more to do...who knows...maybe I'll remember the rest of it later.

Some jokes.

I am not in any way against the US Military, but this stuff does make me wonder who exactly enlists. Oh well, hope you laugh as much as I did!

"Aim towards the Enemy." - Instruction printed on US Rocket Launcher

"When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is not our friend." - U.S. Army

"Cluster bombing from B-52s is very, very accurate. The bombs are guaranteed to always hit the ground." - U.S.A.F. Ammo Troop

"If the enemy is in range, so are you." - Infantry Journal

"A slipping gear could let your M203 grenade launcher fire when you least expect it. That would make you quite unpopular in what's left of your unit." - Army's magazine of preventive maintenance

"It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed." - U.S. Air Force Manual

"Try to look unimportant; they may be low on ammo." - Infantry Journal

"Tracers work both ways." - U.S. Army Ordnance

"Five-second fuses only last three seconds." - Infantry Journal

"Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid." - Col. David Hackworth

"If your attack is going too well, you're probably walking into an ambush." - Infantry Journal

"No combat-ready unit has ever passed inspection." - Joe Gay

(And lastly)

"If you see a bomb technician running, try to keep up with him." -- U.S.A. Ammo Troop

Meet Talenyn!

I adopted a new pet cat. (Scroll down to see her.) Her name is Talenyn, which means "little wren". I realize that's a bit ironic that I'm naming a cat after a bird, but I like it, so that's the way it is. :)

Other than that, it's finals week, which is a well shown by the fact that it's 1:30 in the morning and I am not studying, I'm posting. But at least I don't have class in the morning! Ok, off to bed....soon.

More updates....to my iPod.

Hi all! I'm sitting in my speech class, five minutes before class starts, waiting for my iPod to update songs. I had to restore factory settings, which basically means it erased my music off, and to give you an idea how much of a hassle that is, it's been loading the music back on, and it's only gotten 5 GB back on....I own 18 GB worth of music. This takes awhile. *sigh* I think I'm going to have to leave my computer hooked up during class, which I don't imagine my teacher will be very happy about. Oh well. I can't disconnect now or I'll have to start all over again.
By the way, an update on my speech, it went well...as did my juries...(my music finals). Now I've got a semi-slack week ahead. Yay! Gotta go now, class starting.
