A long overdue update.

So today I ran 5 laps on a standard track without stopping a first for me and something I did not think I could do yet. I was highly encouraged by a fellow student who paced me and kept me talking(aka gasping) instead of focusing on the run.

I'm possibly going to pass the pushup section of our test physical. I'm unlikely to pass the running or situp section. I am CERTAIN I am going to pass the final one at the end of the semester before I go to basic. I'm extremely glad now that I have this semester to get in shape before I have to ship out. I was -not- ready.

The ROTC workout is significantly harder than what I had been trying to do. I'm usually wiped at the end barely able to breathe. But improving a lot.

ROTC itself has been a pleasant surprise. The level of interaction with other cadets is much higher than I expected I guess. I certainly wasn't expecting everyone to be as friendly as they have been.

We get the interwebs on friday. Yay. Then our posting should be much more regular and if school, cadet, orclette, wife stuff are handled I may start playing again yay.

Read Neuromancer for the first time a couple days ago. I had never known how similair this book was to the flavor I enjoy in Shadowrun. Extremely good. Warning: Explores a lot of sexual and drug related themes. Oh and violence but I'm a proper american... violence is perfectly okay in anyform but procreation is scary bad :P.

Well, I think that is everything. Hi interwebs... hope you haven't forgotten me :P

Sub-Teach, On monday, I had about 80% of this written as a reply to your comment before I figured I should just drop it into a post. Yay for thought spam from simple commentary. To be clear: I'm not anti-our-current-president. I didn't like his solution for the recession(the bailout(which was started by our previous president)) but I'm certainly not blaming the recession on him. I understand that it was my dear party that thought you could spend AND cut taxes at the same time. I'm not really in favor of the way in which the other party wants to extend the tax cuts(cutting some and not others). I would rather we let all of the tax cuts expire and everyone equally paid a little bit more. BUT I'm really not happy with the idea that we can extend all of them when we are in record levels of national debt, which is what my party espouses. No our current president didn't have much time to fix the economy...and any good/harm he did probably won't be evident

A post!

So Beowulfa recieved the Burning Crusade as one of her many christmas presents. As a side note, she also recieved a picture of a chick with a pet lion. Sort of like Angharad. Anyways, we're poking Drenai characters in a "ooo that would be cool" kind of way. Since it was her birthday present and all... and if the characters were not BElf or Spacegoat then it wouldn't be using the present! So we're going to at least get them to 10. And BElf's are too... pretty in an ugly way. I don'ts like them. She doesn't like them(much?). I said Spacegoat. She quickly created a male drenai priest(this morning). We talked about it at lunch and she's going to make a paladin instead, I think. I slightly warned her off of priest because I've heard they solo about as well as a warrior heals. I'm.... undecided. We have warrior, paladin, mage, priest, shaman, hunter. I've been told I need to be something tankish. So mage and priest are gone. I'm definin
