Song, Cadence, Chant, whatever.

When I was in the army...
they gave me lots of food...
When I was in the army...
they told me sleep was good...
but my dear old sergeant...
was having non of that.
Food will make you sleepy...
Sleep will make you fat.

When I was in the army...
they told me get some gear...
When I was in the army...
they told me have no fear...
but my dear old sergeant...
issued me nothing...
and said I'd better tremble...
when I hear his name...

When I was in the army...
they told me I was smart...
When I was in the army...
they said I'd learn a lot...
but my dear old sergeant...
call-ed me stu-pid...
said I'd never learn...
only end up dead.

So I can thank the army....
for a dollar a day...
but I thank my sergeant...
for making me this way...


To me this is sung to the tune of that really addictive song from the animated version of "The Hobbit". The one that they sing every time they do a travel sequence. Anyways it all rhymes if you say the words the way I do.

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

There be too much history.

By
For the past couple of weeks Damm and I have been faithfully spending an hour each day working on our respective summer projects-he on his writing and me on Spanish and history. I had previously mentioned wanting to create some sort of series that I’d work on throughout the summer. I did a bit of brainstorming and decided that I should write essays on bits of fun and fascinating history. Then I started thinking up topic ideas and realized that I didn’t have enough time to randomly pick subjects, research them, and then write entertainingly. So I decided to pick one area of focus. It came down to either Modern Russia or the Civil War Era, since these are the two history courses I’ll be taking in the fall. I chose the Civil War. And even then I have not narrowed my focus enough. The essays one could write on the American Civil War … the possibilities are endless. And so I’m in the process of redefining what I will write/research. I’m in the midst of gathering info for a...
