Shipping Out

Soon I'll be gone. I've had a lot of fun this weekend. I...

Bought nice clothes, ate at Mcdonald's (twice!), Perkins (twice!), Devotay, Pita Pit; went to a gay bar (twice!), chainsmoked, danced, was horribly embarrassed, caused horrible embarassment, cried like a bitch, did paperwork, threw money at people, tucked money in occupied garments, had a long walk, and more! Saying goodbye is hard.

Soon I'll go to dinner with as much of the Ames crew as can be rounded up. Then it's off to Des Moines to stay in some hotel and then in the morning it's off to the races.

Thanks for coming out.

This blog should be taken over by Jeff Sorensen while I'm in recruit training. I'll try to update via postcard/letter. We'll see what I can hack out, or he can come up with. Hopefully it'll be worthwhile.

Over and out.

This Just In...

Hello faithful reader!

Just got back from a weekend in Iowa City.

More later, it's the eleventh hour.

It's Cold and the World is Ending

Ship-off day, December 13th, gets closer every day. It's cold. I hope I don't freeze to death in boot camp.

I just saw Aeon Flux. It was nice to see the story without it being all cut up. It was a lot better than I expected. Don't get me wrong, not a national treasure, but not a total waste of time.

I've been reading The Bluejacket's Manual, it's a book I'll be issued. A sort of sailor's handbook. I find it odd, but they capitalize the word "Sailor" in it, like so. It doesn't exactly strike me as a proper noun.

So, anyway. I intend to maintain this blog with transcribed postcards from boot camp. I realize postings have been spotty so far, but Hello Sailor! related occurences have been minimal. If you want to volunteer to help me out here, or just want me to write you a post card, leave a comment.
