lizards on toast :: Yay, a post. (personal)

2007-04-07 12:49:23.  I’m told I’m a little over-due for an update.  It’s been a few months, so I suppose that’s at least a little fair.  I’ve written stuff a few times, but it’s stuff that’s more for me, so there you are.  As I write this, darling ‘lexi is trying to eat my left cargo pocket.  She’s like a tiny pink puppy..  A lot has happened in the last few months.  I won Soldier of the Month for January, and then Soldier of the Quarter last month.  I’ve been gone to Colorado a week out of every month on TDY for.. well, stuff.  I was also pinned Specialist recently.  The uniform I was wearing still has a little blood on it, under the collar.  (I wore BDUs so both SGT Fuller and SPC Tucker could pin me).  I don’t know if it’ll come out, or if I want it to.  :]

.  We finally have a real home theater, with an acer projector giving us an 84″ display in 1080i.  After that was set up, I finally got around to mounting all the satellite speakers and stuff.  It’s freaking awesome playing Gears of War and Rainbow Six..  the 360 plays quite well with dolby surround.  Movies are really nice, too, but I suppose that’s a given.  The next upgrade will be when we move into a different house  (this summer?), and it can have it’s own room and stuff.  :]

.  In other news, the hyundai finally gave out.  I was driving Tuck home and the transmission just blew.  I wasn’t being hard on it, either.  I guess it was just her time.  I do have a new baby, though, and it’s one hell of an upgrade.  I’ll post pictures here in a bit.  She’s a 2001 Audi S4. 2.7l V6 biturbo, all-wheel drive, (almost) completely stock, dressed in nogaro blue.  She’s a sexy beast. :]  We started tuning her this week, and it’s going to be an adventure.  :]

.  The carbon-based family’s doing well also.  I don’t remember if I’ve mentioned that Caleb runs all over now, but.. well, he does.  A tiny terror on two little feet.  He still tries to eat everything he can get to.  Alexis is getting more mobile as well.  She’s now attempting to get to my laptop so she can teethe on it.  No visible teeth yet, though.  She remains little, fuzzy, and pink.

.  Next friday I’m taking Amy to the ball that 21st Signal Brigade is hosting.  Our unit’s a little too geographically seperated to have our own, so 21st invited us to theirs.  That should be a lot of fun.

.  I guess my xanga subscription for premium’s expired..  I don’t know if I’m going to renew it or not.  I think I might just move this back to one of my own boxen.  We’ll see.

out.
