Army Post Road

     Yes folks, I am still alive and kickin', the Army hasn't killed me yet.  As is par for the course with the Army, I'm not supposed to outline much at all in the way of details here on the Internet but things are going well.  I'm working in the S4 (the task force supply section) as opposed to for MAJ George in the Urban section which wasn't my idea, and I wasn't very pleased with it at first, but it'll be fine so I suppose it's all good.  
     Right now I'm sitting at the Buffalo Wild in Manhattan, who knew they had free WiFi?, and this is the first I've been able to access the Internet on a private computer since I won't get my cable Internet installed in my barracks room until Tuesday morning.  I think it's a little unfair that everybody living in the hotels in JunkTown get free cable TV and free WiFi and those of us living on-post have to pay for both.  It isn't a perfect trade-off considering all the advantages I think there are with us living on-post but it's close I suppose. 
     On a random note, trying to use your laptop and eat cheese-covered potato wedges doesn't work out the best for keeping grease off your keyboard. 
     I'm trying a new beer at the moment, Sam Adam's Spring Ale, and it's pretty good but it won't replace Blue Moon as my favorite.  
     Right at the moment I'm being entertained by the fact that a girl sitting about five feet from me looks nearly identical to a regular customer of mine from QuikTrip in Cedar Rapids who was a dancer at Woody's.  Same dark brown angel hair, same skinny-as-a-rail-ness, and nearly the same cute face.  This girl even has a nose piercing on her left side as well.  It's quite uncanny.
      Last week I discovered Monk-E-Mail on CareerBuilder and now my mother and Keely have become quite enthralled with it, sending me Monk-E-Mails.  It's quite entertaining because you can make the monkeys say anything you want.  You can either call them and record a message over the phone or their site has a text-to-speech feature (which disappointingly has a daily limit to the number of different things you can make it say) that just makes the whole thing ridiculous.  Now if only someone would do the same thing for Yellow Labs and we could have even more fun having Ell look-a-likes say the ridiculous things in our heads.
     That's all I have for now.  I'll check back in again before I go probably.
