fuck i totally forgot to do the cleaning at the animal shelter this morning that i signed up for. and speaking of animals, we took our two cats to the flight terminal on base today to record their wieght with their kennels for our outprocessing, and the girl helping us happens to tell us that we wont be able to carry our cats on the bus ride between the two airports in tokyo, (we have to fly commercial since all the military flights with pets are booked up for march...fuckers) cuz they dont allow pets, and that we will have to make some kind of special arrangement/reservation somehow. thats just fucking awesome. yet another reason why the military annoys the fuck out of me. why didnt anyone care to fucking inform tim of this sooner??? its a damn good thing that we found this out BEFORE we got to tokyo. so tim goes BACK to the office that is supposed to tell us when we are leaving, and asks them how we are supposed to get our cats through tokyo. and heres a big fucking suprise: THEY HAVE NO IDEA. i bloody fucking swear to god.....so they tell us to call another base in japan. so i decide to attept that while tim catches up on his sleep. i think i talked to a japanese guy, and he said that a different van could pick us up for $200, or we might be able to pay extra for the original bus to accept our cats, and that i should call the limosine bus service and ask them myself. okay fine. so i call the bus service and of course i am forced to try to communicate with a japanese girl that doesnt know much english. after a few seconds she puts me on hold, but it hung up instead. i call back and get another japanese woman who knows english a little better. i still couldnt really understand her, but i think she was telling me that i could pay about $15 a cat to sit on our laps in their cages? but of course all of this was almost pointless since i cant make the reservation yet, because we dont know when we are flying into tokyo yet. maybe we should have a japanese friend help make our reservation when we are ready. tim said that there is no way in fucking hell we are leaving this base without those cats. omfg i want to kill someone right now. 
so do you know when you're coming back to troy? when ya do, will you please lemme know?
lots of stuff planned in march...hope you'll be able to make something & meet some of the awesome SG peeps out here. and dont forget the "big" punk nite on may 14th... you will NOT wanna miss it!
