Right now, I wish lived in Europe because then the work day would be over (it would be at least 7pm) and I'd be well on my way to enjoying the weekend. However, come Monday, I would like to be back in the US, because it is a holiday--preferably on the west coast because it will take Tuesday morning longer to arrive out there. Any one want to inve
It might be a poor choice of words, but anti-semetic? For translation sake--fuckload means "whole lot" -- there is nothing derogatory about it... I would be more concerned about the Egyptian authorities saying that there was no evidence that they were terrorist attacks.
Luckily there will be no hearings in front of the Senate--I don't think I could handle that--of course, I'll only be a lowly junior officer and not the Consul General. Mack: I have my doubts about the foreign service lifestyle--any insights (good or bad) as to why I should/shouldn't pursue this career? Sometimes I think it will satisfy my wanderlust, other times I am convinced that I will be miserable changing countries more often than most
My apologies, that should read "I don't think anybody ELSE saw it." You are, of course, a somebody!
One week and 12 hours from now, I will be taking the Foreign Service Oral Assessment. I have avoided studying for the past several weeks because it is simply easier to ignore it than to actually sit down and do it. However, I got a real kick in the butt today when my mother called and informed me that I had gotten a letter from the government. She took it
i'm reading...but too busy dusting off my own useless blog to contribute to anyone elses
I don't think it was one of my more popular blogs...I'm not even sure anyone saw it... ...its been a common occurance in my blogging world lately...I guess I am not around enough to keep an active and attentive audience.
I have the song "These Days" stuck in my head. It's the classic Brian Kennedy featuring Ronan Keating. I'm not sure why it is stuck in my head; I don't remember hearing it recently. And heaven knows it is not a radio feature. But there it is, stuck on repeat...the chorus singing itself over and over again in my head.... These da
Perhaps next year?! its a plan
OOh, I'm so jealous! I you are more than welcome to join us--it is usually just me and my dad...sunday in rhode island--think you can make it?
PLUS...The Yankees got shut down by the Twins as i said in my blog, i think there is something wholy ungratifying about a post-season that does not have the red sox meeting up with the yankees. it won't mean as much if we dont have to beat them to get to the end...
hmm...i was planning to go apple picking this weekend, so now I think I might just have found the perfect recipe for all those extra apples (I don't know why I insist that we need to bring how 7000 bushels of them!).
if you find a free one, could you send it in my direction? I feel your pain...I couldn't imagine having a family, I can't keep up with myself!
Some random thoughts and opinions: 1. Hangnails are extremely painful. Why is it that the little things can cause such extraordinary pain? Paper cuts come to mind as well. But currently I am suffering from the affliction of two very sore hangnails, one on each hand. My two fingers are very poorly covered in bandaids in a sad attempt to ease all pain ca
Reply #20 By: Grim Xiozan - 10/6/2004 12:26:38 PM What Unit were these two SF from, without looking through links for it, and what were their names so we can do something about it, how about that? - GX Here's an idea. Get off your high horse.
When I first moved to DC, I worked at an Irish pub. By default, I met the local Irish community--a group of young to mid-twenty-somethings spending three years of their lives living it up in DC as part of the Walsh Visa program. For the most part, this group still makes up the core of the people I hang out. Most of them have been here for a little over
forced the Citadel and VMI into coeducation I am ducking as I write this as I can already see things flying at my head; but there is a significant difference between the two cases. For starters, both VMI and the Citadel are public institutions, funded by tax dollars. Moreover, they are militar
Another Urban Rumour from the Kerry Camp. Much like the Draft thing. Believe what you'd like...I was relaying an acedotal story (that, by the way did occur)...you are free to disagree, but please refrain from calling me a liar.
I had drinks a couple of weeks ago with two guys training for the Special Forces. They were voting Bush and I asked why. The quieter, more thoughtful one told me "we were ordered to." I laughed, and he said, "no, really, we were." Apparently when they were filling out their forms for absentee ballots, they were told that they could vote for anyone they wanted as long as it wasn't Kerry. I'd say, you are right, there's not too much Kerry sup
2 was imajinit, wasn't it? and dylan, I think you are right, 5 was floozie..
I seem to remember that America was united until the Democrats started campaigning. really? There wasn't any dissent against Bush until Dean started campaigning? I seem to recall that the country's "unitedness" starting unwinding right around
You may need to verify your sign in information one more time. On the page that appears, you can change your email and your password. why is it that I can never get past this part...I keep entering it and it keeps bringing me straight back to the "verify your email and password" page again...am I just s
How can you have sex, and not TRULY mean it?… I am of the opinion that you don't have to be married to love some one. That piece of paper that you receive as a result of spending way to much time and money organizing and planning a wedding does not make you any more, or any less in love than you were
Now, I am kinda freaked out by her because last year she told me PERSONALLY that she was bisexual. And that she said (And I quote) “I think having sex with men is just disgusting, having it with women is so romantic because they understand how you feel and…” AAAAAAHHHHH, that is scary in itself. And there are freshman girls who a
You have far more patience than I do...I would have screamed, "you are a moron, fix your d&^n phone and stop calling me..." Glad to hear it's off, at least for now!
