Okay, this is bizarre.  While web-browsing on my phone I keep running across what I guess is a misplaced AdSense ad that is a political ad for some dude running for in the Edo state in Nigeria.  Or it's some weird viral ad I don't understand.  Here's the ad link: http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/aclk?sa=L&ai=BXwPGGIPJT53HLIHwqgGnwYX5Ca_XwpUCt9a-xjfAjbcB0IYDEAEYASCJy_QBOABQ367NpP3_____AWDJ3sSLxKSQELIBEWlkcnVkZ2VyZXBvcnQuY29tugEKMzAweDI1MF9hc8gBAtoBGWh0dHA6Ly9pZHJ1ZGdlcmVwb3J0LmNvbS_gAQKoAwHIAx3oA4wD6AONA-gDEOgDTPUDAAgAxPUDIAAAEKAGAg&num=1&sig=AOD64_3RiDdTjtZ395NWZWNrMNYdybd2bA&client=ca-pub-0516160564956268&adurl=http://www.volunteersforgc.com/&nm=2

Army testing new camouflage pattern: Siegey could go reptile...

http://www.military.com/daily-news/2012/06/01/soldiers-could-go-reptilian-with-new-camo.html?ESRC=sm_todayinmil.nl



I'm all for developing a good camo pattern to meet the need conditions, but this while "zomg, our branch of service needs its own, unique, super-special camo" is stupid.  Especially when you have Air Force (guys like the tactical air controllers) working with the Army.  Looking different and sticking out is bad.  Fortunately, the guys doing jobs like tac-control are wise enough to say "fuck the regs" when necessary.

What if he already is a alien reptile wearing a "human" disguise? That could be interesting.

BTW, all this new camo stuff the last few years is getting old, I have so many uniforms now. Our new type 3 is not bad, just need to get used to it I guess.

WTF, listening to some radio 4 podcasts and in the space of three items I heard harassful and un-opaque used.

Maybe.

That's where I am too.  Considering how horrid everyone looks in mug shots, the fact that she is a maybe means she has a lot of potential in person.

I think I could have a quickie with someone who ran over and killed an old lady and left the scene; it's not like she threw a kitty in a rubbish wheelie or anything.

Sophomore before the midterm drunk, not freshman after the homecoming game victory drunk.

OK, then.  I'd tag it.

 Sad to say I have yet to internalize the optimism i've made a concerted effort to feel throughout each day. No matter what gentle pleasantness I occupy myself with, the dead silence of the late night/early morning- a time at which I never fail to be awake- tends to fill me with loneliness and worry.

I think i've become a better person for my efforts, but not necessarily a happier one. The prospect of meeting people in Japan is an uncertain one, but I will try not to treat a cloistered life there as a foregone conclusion.

Fuck.
So, my grandad has died.
On the plus side it relieves my dillema of visiting home this summer.
But shit...


Apparently the undertakers sucked. One of them was a skinny little guy in makeup. They couldn't lift him- and he's not that big a guy, a bit fat but no more than 12 stone, especially in the past few weeks apparently. They had to ask my uncle, probally the closest of my grandad's kids to him, named after him even, to help lift him out. That's just...fucked up.
