First night moving along...

GungalTM of the Day

Norwegian Army GungalTM does her field exercises...

    As this auto-posts on the HQ, the first of four work nights has finally drawn to a close, and I'm crawling into the sack for some shut-eye. I miss my beloved Effie terribly.

But it'll all be all right in just three more nights!! On Sunday, rain, snow, or shine, I'll be on my way home to my Sweet Gal!! Effie, honey, I love you!! I'll be home in just three nights!! 

    It's the incestuous nature of the net and blogging that sometimes gets things to go viral. When I was gratuitously unemployed, I used to submit links like crazy over on Blue's News, one of the oldest and finest gaming and tech news sites. Blue was nice enough to mention my blog every time he used one of the links, and I always got a charge out of see my little, unassuming blog mentioned on his site. His site, both in spirit and format, is a direct inspiration for my own humble blog. Today, for example, we have linked on the blog an amazing special effects piece for a prospective movie, Goliath. I was impressed by it, and I submitted it to Blue on Wednesday before I took my pre-work nap. Blue made the YouTube video his Link of the Day. I hope the make gets a movie deal, because it looks like a movie I'd love to see, for sure. Moving on...
