uneventful day. passed the quiz with good marks, finished getting the stat dec signed, got slightly boned over paying for rations, and became a runner up for the Nobel prize in attempted electronics theory for comparing the workings of transistor diode thing to people trying to get into a disco.
tuesday during handball i felt a sharp pain in my right bicep and noticed a dark bruise right where the bicep ended and the forearm began. since then it kinda hurt, but really got messed up today during dodgeball and basketball.
tonight we celebrate some guys bday here - so hopefully some beer will ease the pain a bit.

Oh goodie wednesday my favorite day of the week. Actually not - i hate wednesdays. the trogolydites here did a menial job of cleaning everything so a few things were noted - i pretended to make a big deal of it and hopefully that will do for another week.
I was playing this game 'the witcher' for a month and finally beat it. the game got stupid easy after i just started spamming this fire blast thing. anyway, it was well written and fun to play - certainly worth the 10$ or so I paid for it. next one on the list is some shooter rpg thing called stalker. both the witcher and this game takes part in some part of eastern europe. witcher was simply the middle ages - and im sure was inspired by little hamlets that dot the countryside there - certainly reminds me of my third home in bulgaria. i really need to learn the language or hire a translator to hang out with me all day. a serf or slave or something. shouldn't be hard to find one there - and from what I heard are cheaper now than every to get one. oh well, i'll work on that later.
tomorrow at 625am we have a fancy dress uniform inspection. how joyous. the trick here is not to be so disgusting that you get into trouble - but not better than others to be picked for the parade. i have the not being better than others nailed down (i think - some can be surprisingly bad here).
Oh yes we finished servo thing class monday, passed with average marks. and we have another quiz tomorrow which i heard most do poorly at so ill try to study more than 5 minutes. ah yes, today we did circuit training led by a cranky lumpy woman who reminded me of a certain sgt at my old unit. she HATED me. who could hate me you ask? who COULD hate me? WHO could hate me? who could hate ME?!
she could. anyway. oh yes today was the first day the sun warmed my skin in recent memory. thats about it for now - off to eat, get a trim, shower, i dunno what else, something.

friday once again. it's been some time between posts so my memory is a bit muddled from the week.
monday - finished AC finally. that was the class that just wouldn't die. I got an average mark - nothing to brag about, but at least it's over and done with. gym was circuit training and it was a bit of a pain.
tuesday - started some other course (servo something something or other). the lady teaching it reminded me of the real estate agent we have in victoria. weird coincidence that it was her last week before quitting teaching and becoming a real estate agent in Bellville. you know the type - always smiling too much and being loud. her favorite word is 'okay'
Wednesday - mid week. i didnt feel that depressed that day for some reason. that kinda hit me later. we did spin class. we went out for beers that night which was much needed.
thursday - steak day at the mess - but i avoided it because the meat was grey in color and floating inside some sort of soup - so i went with some dry chicken covered in what i can only describe as a mix of mr noodles flavor mix and crusty margarine and on the inside was this green mush. basketball was alright - with the exception of getting tripped every 30 seconds.
which brings us to today. i really need some sleep.

another friday here in kingston. i wish i could be as enthused about this one as others - but the traveling and being away from home has me kind of bummed out and tired.
this is what i remember from the week;
tuesday - travel day. went to the beach early in the morning, then out to the airport to have breakfast with syl and ingy. depressing just thinking about going through security waving bye to them. uneventful trip out. watched 2001 a space odyssey (horrible piece of crap movie - though i guess the points which make it stand out is that it is a very old film and all the gizmos in it are something we probably will have in the future, even though the movie may be more aptly named 2501 - a space odyssey).
took a cab to the hotel to pick up my car. I'm pretty sure this was the stupidest cab driver I've ever driven with. I bet he could have half his arm missing and not even notice it. I got into my car at montreal around midnight and arrived back at the barracks around 245am wednesday morning. i got a bit frustrated because i couldnt reach a sandwich while driving (syl made it for me - plus i was hungry) - so i tore out everything from the backpack while driving yelling "IS THIS A SANDWICH (pulled out a laptop cord) ?! NOPE!" then repeating it until I found the damned thing.
I found a good use for country music - it's great stuff for listening to when travelling long distances. for some reason the lyrics keep my attention longer (and me awake longer) than say stuff like "BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM I'm SO 2008 YOU SO 2000late!"
wedesday - after 3 hours sleep i went to breakfast and found the place abandoned (pretty much). Johnson came in just as I was finishing and I found out I got up around an hour earlier than I needed to. the day was spent babbling with people over stupid shit, then playing ball hockey (I did horrible - though better than the first other goalie who passed out in his gear after 5 mins), then babbling some more.
thursday - st paddys day. I was the DD so I only had 1-2 over a few hours. we went to mr.knowles' place - watched some tv and of course the movie blade 2. it was a good time actually. the gym was much more boring this day - ugh military gyms - only old people and men go there. i think there was a total of 5 females of reproductive age there - the rest were the kind of people stated above. not that i'm interested in that nonsense, it's just i'd rather not have to look up and see another hairy butt crack.
friday - which brings us to today. we got off at noon, my old roommate slept in and was late. the poor idiot. i'm glad though im out of his room, the smell was just terribad and no amount of encouragement on my part could make him change his ways. afterwards went to walmart for an oil change (the guy there was very rude) then went to filter more money i don't have for that money pit in bulgaria. oh i was lucky and got the same fat obnoxious lady as before. this roast beef chompin bitch didn't even know what bulgaria was. I remember the conversation going like this:
her: Bah jubbah dakla eeka ba dookie?! (where are you sending the money to?)
me: Bulgaria.
her: What's that?
me: It's a country - north of Greece and south of the Danube river.
her: You're sending your money to Greece then?
me: No. Bulgaria - it's a country of it's own.
her: Why send money there?
me: None of your business lard ass - just fill out the goddamn paperwork, charge me, and leave me alone.
her: you are correct - I am indeed a fat smelly swamp hag that is a giant bitch and I have no redeeming qualities at all. I'm basically a waste of skin. My mere existence is so hateful to other peoples that Al Qaeda uses a video recording of me eating a triple baconator while bitching at my obese children to redraw mohammad having sex with a pig in their recruitment videos to show why our society needs to be taken down.

How many lawyers does it take to change a light bulb?
Such number as may be deemed to perform the stated task in a timely and efficient manner within the strictures of the following agreement:
Whereas the party of the first part, also known as “Lawyer,” and the party of the second part, also known as “Light Bulb,” do hereby and forthwith agree to a transaction wherein the party of the second part (Light Bulb) shall be removed from the current position as a result of failure to perform previously agreed-upon duties, i.e., the illumination of the area ranging from the front (north) door, through the entryway, terminating at an area just inside the primary living area, demarcated by the beginning of the carpet, any spillover illumination being at the option of the party of the second part (Light Bulb) and not required by the aforementioned agreement between the parties.
The aforementioned removal transaction shall include, but not be limited to, the following steps:
1.) The party of the first part (Lawyer) shall, with or without elevation, at his option, by means of a chair, stepstool, ladder, or any other means of elevation, grasp the party of the second part (Light Bulb) and rotate the party of the second part (Light Bulb) in a counterclockwise direction, said direction being non- negotiable. Said grasping and rotation of the party of the second part (Light Bulb) shall be undertaken by the party of the first part (Lawyer) with every reasonable caution by the party of the first part (Lawyer) to maintain the structural integrity of the party of the second part (Light Bulb), notwithstanding the aforementioned failure of the party of the second part (Light Bulb) to perform the aforementioned customary and agreed-upon duties. The foregoing notwithstanding, however, both parties stipulate that structural failure of the party of the second part (Light Bulb) may be incidental to the aforementioned failure to perform, and in such case the party of the first part (Lawyer) shall be held blameless for such structural failure insofar as this agreement is concerned so long as the non-negotiable directional codicil (counterclockwise) is observed by the party of the first part (Lawyer) throughout.
2.) Upon reaching a point where the party of the second part (Light Bulb) becomes separated from the party of the third part (“Receptacle”), the party of the first part (Lawyer) shall have the option of disposing of the party of the second part (Light Bulb) in a manner consistent with all applicable state, local, and federal statutes.
3.) Once separation and disposal have been achieved, the party of the first part (Lawyer) shall have the option of beginning installation of the party of the fourth part (“New Light Bulb”). This installation shall occur in a manner consistent with the reverse of the procedures described in Step 1 of this document, being careful to note that the rotation should occur in a clockwise direction, said direction also being non-negotiable.
NOTE: The above-described steps may be performed, at the option of the party of the first part (Lawyer), by said party of the first part (Lawyer), by his heirs and assigns, or by any and all persons authorized by him to do so, the objective being to produce a level of illumination in the immediate vicinity of the aforementioned front (north) door consistent with maximization of commerce and revenue for the party of the fifth part, also known as “The Firm.”

i had a wonderful 2 days visiting home again. am now waiting to fly to calgary then off to montreal - then back to kingston.
In other news, I came accross this gem:
Mogwai/Gremlins could be used to singlehandedly solve the energy crisis, as if you get them the slightest bit wet, they immediately pop out about four or five more of themselves, which grow to maturity within minutes. The movies have shown that this process can be repeated indefinitely, so long as you keep them saturated -- they need no other energy input beyond just a tiny bit of water.
So what you do is make some sort of enclosure with a trap door that takes up about half the floor, along with a series of small, straw-sized tubes at the top. Every five minutes, pour water into the enclosure to make them start multiplying. After about 10 minutes (which is how long it took in the movies for the mogwais to grow to maturity), release the trap door, dropping a portion of the mogwais into an incinerator below. From there, the process will work much like a coal power plant.
While mogwai flesh probably isn't quite as efficient a fuel as coal, there are many advantages, first and foremost of which is that there's an endless supply of them. Another, though, is that there's no need to mine them from mountains, saving millions, potentially billions, on extraction. Plus, transportation costs will plummet, since you only need to a small handful of mogwais to start yo

Another week done. We have a few days off then back to the grind. Uneventful week, some quizzes, a birthday party for a nice coworkers - a bit naive albeit a well brought up person. Though I happen to probably the most cynical person I know personally find it refreshing to be around someone with a fresh outlook on life.
The birthday party was nice though - good to get out and socialize outside of work. After years of near solitude it's refreshing as well. The trip down to Montreal was uneventful and much nicer than the ones to Toronto. The GPS car recharger or the input thingy on the GPS decided to die. It would turn on for a few seconds then shut off - so I was able to get some mediocre directions close to the hotel and make it here okay. I helped this poor lady whose car was stuck on ice and couldn't pull out.
I tried the idea of using the car mats as tread, but it doesn't work on front wheel drive vehicles I think. She didn't speak any English so I don't think she understood it when I said 'je suis McGuyver."
Heading home for a few days tomorrow - I'm looking forward to this.

wednesday - you know usually this is the point in the week where I'm at my lowest and feel like quitting life, but for some reason that isn't happening this week. probably due to the lack of inspections. i hate those. i LOATHE those.
I could probably handle the constant hairy male nudity, the smell, and the feces everywhere but it's inspections that get my goat. I suppose it is the way for us to know we are under constant surveillance and control (hint: we aren't) If they were to randomly bash on someone at least try to make it entertaining.
For example they could hire a clown to come into class and throw a pie at someone random - and get yelled at for having banana cream pie on your uniform. Or hire a 300lb linebacker to tackle another random person in the hallway just because - then get yelled at for lowering your eyes to the enemy. Or get someone to throw a flashbang into a classroom then yell at the class for not ducking and covering right away.
how can anyone live in a place where they have to keep it perfectly clean all the time? That isn't living, that's just having another annoying thing to clean, polish, fold, iron, dust, or wash.
let me describe spin class to you today. It was instructed by this lovely man faced incontinent, who spoke like some sorta ringmaster at a circus staffed by low functioning autistics (she felt the need to explain what RPM stood for), and the guy in front of me outgrew his pants and shirt about 400 big macs ago - so every time I raised my head a hairy brown eye was staring me in the face.
And people wonder why I escape to the apartment whenever I can.
Oh yes yet another quiz tomorrow then that should do it until the exam for this thing. I better get some plane tickets for home now.

My previous posts were less than coherent. There was another quiz friday that I think I redeemed myself on for shitting the bed on the one earlier in the week. I moved into the wing senior room last thursday. It's okay (certainly a step up from before) - and involves spending a few minutes a week making sure people keep the place clean.
The following things have annoyed me in the previous 24 hours;
1. Fat obnoxious women in positions of power or authority with no sense of humor or manners.
2. Irritating men shorter than me asking for things.
3. People laughing at me for wanting to buy organic wine.
I was told I was the first person ever to ask for that stuff in a wine shop (granted that wine shop was in a Walmart, so I guess the only questions they are used to answering are 'what kind of red goes with my Hungry Man turkey dinner?'). But I can't imagine people haven't enjoyed getting hammered with none of those god awful wine headache hangovers. I polished off a little over a liter of it last night and it felt like King Kong used my brain as a stress ball. The classic hangover cure (Subway + extra strength anti allergy medication + shower) worked.
Lessons learned:
1. Everything costs money. Too much of it. And I don't have enough of it. And acquiring it is painful and slow.
2. There is such a thing as too much/inappropriate cleavage.
3. Economic cycles flow in line with emotional cycles.
4. Can't rely on notes anymore for quizzes.
5. Faith enables one to bridge the gap between not knowing for sure, and finding out. Um, this means that without faith nothing would have been attempted in the first place. This isn't necessarily a religious thing either.

I think saturday was my last post. Since then I watched that movie 'hall pass' - where that chick that was hot in the show 'married with children' now looks like an old angry cat alien, and the other one is good looking but they really tried to make her look like a tired house wife.
Almost funny how formulaic it was - token black guy - check. fat guy - check. idiotic loser friend - check. anyway, who cares about movie reviews.
experiencing cognative dissonance over moving out to the apartment. it is expensive yes but i do need a place for peace and quiet that doesnt involve waiting for my roommate here to forget his key and i can be in peace. oh yes he did lose his key and instead of coming to the door and knocking like a normal human being i just hear a loud bang as he probably runs into the door at full speed, then skidders away like a fly hitting a glass wall.
ive been in here too long to let the ruse go so im stuck here till i head out for supper. someone just yelled out in a bad chinese accent 'FORTY NINE CENT. TWEE DOLLAS MOCHE MARGIN!"
later in the week perhaps i move into my own room here in barracks. hopefully it is tolerable so i do not have to rent a place from may to august, saving me perhaps 1500$. oh my new place has a rat problem - still this is less disgusting than the people living here. that's right - rats, mice, and household vermin are less disgusting than the people here.
after supper i go to sign some paper saying i know this guy for the third time. it's gotten to the point now where if there is anything else ill outright refuse. it's one thing being nice but there is a point to where their incompetancy is no longer tolerated. ugh - also - an offer to drive someone once does not mean ill chauffer them around at their whim. oh well, they'll learn this eventually.
quiz tomorrow - its supposedly a very tough one so I should get out of here and get on it.
EXCELLESIORRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Almost funny how formulaic it was - token black guy - check. fat guy - check. idiotic loser friend - check. anyway, who cares about movie reviews.
experiencing cognative dissonance over moving out to the apartment. it is expensive yes but i do need a place for peace and quiet that doesnt involve waiting for my roommate here to forget his key and i can be in peace. oh yes he did lose his key and instead of coming to the door and knocking like a normal human being i just hear a loud bang as he probably runs into the door at full speed, then skidders away like a fly hitting a glass wall.
