My biggest regret about this class isn't that I didn't get it done on time (although that would've elminated my biggest regret... hmm.). It's that if I had finished it last week, or even just submitted it with one less paragraph last week, I could've signed up for that next class, and be taking it now. But, now I have to wait two more months. Someday, I'll stop putting things off. Maybe tomorrow...

Well, the Associate's plan that the Army put me on is "General Studies." But the Associate's that I can get first, through the Defense Language Institute is the "DLI AA," which is described here: Link Of course, I'm a failed Electrical Engineering student and ROTC cadet. If I had been a Math major, I may have made it through... but then I wouldn't be where

So, that paper I posted as my last article? Link Here's how the grade broke down on it: A "works cited" of at least five (5) sources 20/20 [It was there... I didn't post it. I'll put it in the comments.] Proper use of MLA style - a works cited, parentheti

xtine - He mentions that in his book, "I Ain't Got Time to Bleed," which the title of this article is (obviously) spun from. As he describes it, (and I wasn't there, and you were), but as he describes it, she heckled him about the cuts, saying she was a single mother. He fired back at her with something akin to "Where's the father?" When she responded that he had run off, he responded with something like, "It's not my fault you picked the wrong guy

Again, I'm very glad you're sharing this. I'm never going to Korea, and some would say I'm missing out on the "real Army" because of this... At the least, it's yet another glimpse into what some of my co-workers have lived through. Actually, at the very least, it's good story-telling. Damn good.

Hey, you remember that time that I said I'd do all my homework online for that class? The one that I had to take an incomplete on? The one that the paper was due next Monday, and then tomorrow, and now she has to put the grades in tomorrow, so now it's due... now? So, I never actually finished it (shh, don't tell), but I sent it in anyway. I have at leas

In the second debate, Edwards stated that they could speed up the training of police by providing academies outside of Iraq, if need be. Because the security in Iraq isn't such to train the police there. I don't know, maybe we could put such an academy in a neighboring Arab country. Maybe even Jordan! It's a good plan. It just seems I've heard it somewhere before. -- pseudokid

Don't forget to explore, and to go back to areas you went to earlier. You have to work to unlock some of the things there... almost all of it is funny. Maybe you'll eventually buy some Scrumptious Reagent at pseudosoldier's Army Surplus... someday.

CNN had a picture up of groups of Israeli tourists doing just that, Geeze, although that was well after I had posted this. It was very striking imagery. Thanks for the support. (Although I'm certain you'll agree that being crass *is* something I've done since you've known me.)

You know, Green Lantern wasn't much of a detective. He always just asked that damned ring what was going on.

The haiku has become... strange as of late. There's one contributor who can't seem to leave sexual frustration out of their art. "Butter your buns," indeed.

And I'll admit that it was crass. I'll try and tone the vulgarity down in future translations, at any rate. I'm still unclear as to how you interpreted it as "anti-semetist" or what the other "statementS" you mentioned were.

Posting in the middle of the night (just after midnight) doesn't seem to be too kind to me, although that may also be that people don't enjoy my blog. But I think it's that there are *just* enough people posting that I scroll down too far by morning, when most of the "readers" are around.

Thanks, chip. And, well, thanks to BlueDev, too... I just noticed I'm "The shy one" on oleteach's blog. I think grey's been telling stories on me.

Yes, "fuckload" is not the literal translation. I believe it said, "and that there were a great many of them there" or somesuch. But I suppose I get no slack, although I was the only insomniac drunk who was willing to translate Arabic for you. Not that it was my sheer emotional exhaustion that was capped off by reading about these brutal attacks that may have influenced me to just finish translating the damning phrase regardless of pure accuracy.
