Shattered Faith

Whoops. Let my domain expire again. Sorry about that.

I had all these little mini updates that I had been jotting down on my laptop and phone on my way home during my last R&R. The beers in the airport.. the weird nerdy white guy who sat next to me telling me sex stories from Thailand.. all sorts of crap. Unfortunately I didn’t post right away when I got home. A few days later in Florida my hard drive decided to shit itself. It was impossible (for me) to recover any information that I had on it. It’ll teach me to back up my stuff more often at least.

Regardless, R&R was a lot of fun. I enjoyed my time in Florida with the Grandparents just lounging around. We ate out a lot which was expected. I saw two movies while there, The Reader and Gran Torino. The Reader was excellent but then again I’m biased towards Kate Winslet. I even enjoyed The Holiday because of her which was odd considering my hatred for Cameron Diaz and Jude Law. Gran Torino was great as well. Mr. Eastwood has been on quite the roll lately.

Seeing my family and friends was great too. I met my Mom’s new boyfriend who seems like an extremely nice guy. The night we met we drove out towards Philly to eat at the closest German restaraunt. I opted for the Jaeger Schnitzel with Spaetzle. Mmmm. I wish we had a place like that which was a little closer. Joey, Tim and Ashleigh came down for the weekend to see me which was really nice. I’ve yet to make it up to New York to visit Joey and I feel pretty bad about it, although I just couldn’t find the right time to go. The weekends were my only real option. I’ll have plenty of time when I get home.

Aaaand speaking of which, I’ve crossed the 3 month threshold. I’m praying it goes by quickly, but I know it’ll be gnawing at the back of my brain the whole time. Not to mention it’s going to start getting hot as balls again which will make me just miserable. 90ish days.. 12 weeks.. 6 pay periods. Maybe it’s better if I don’t count.
