Christmas has passed, and so has new year. No taint of last years tatter and tragedies has yet solied the embryo of the new times, and the hopes for 2010 are still high.
I am back in the village. Upon recieving this particular piece of information most of my friends give me a puzzeled look and with bewildered voices ask the question why. Why have...

The other weekend I had my only experience shoveling snow. I live in an area where it never snows, but was helping a friend move. She didn't shovel the walkway out front, so I did it. That experience has convinced me that snow is a very, very bad thing.

Actually, that particular part of Arizona has snow for about half the year. It's at a high elevation. Down where I am, though, I've seen it snow two or three times in the last twenty-ish years, and every time it was too light to leave anything except a slight dampness on the ground.
It is December 13th, and there are three days left of the semester. Monday are devoted to physical tests and the department dinner in the evening, Tuesday for the presentation for the Head of School at the new departments we're heading for and the Grand SOU dinner with all the departments downtown somewhere. God knows where they are going to cram in a hundred and...

I suppose it was just a matter of time. I always suspected it was. Considering the turn last week had taken I had started to believe it was all slip sliding away, but apparently not even I can read the future.
Yesterday I got a message from Bugsy on MSN, asking me over for a movie. I had been supposed to come over after the...

I spent the ride home from the badminton class in silence. It may have been the pressure of being the Company Chief or perhaps the fact that I lost the game towards Bugys but or some reason I had fallen into myself, and even though Johnny boy was behind me as usual, the normal chatter fell flat to the floor. Instead I spent the ride...

Oh, I assure you, I had NOTHING to do with the decoration of the place. I literally picked out the rug in the living room and the sconce/candle holder thingy you see to the right of the door.
This is all the work of the interior designer in the family, my mom. She just understands my taste and designed around that. And did awesome.

Christmas is closing in, and it is two sided for my part. I spent all of yesterday, after the "Network for Women in the Defence" meeting was over, cleaning and polishing up the apartment and then took some hour later in the evening to make my first batches of Christmas candy. Despite the nice spicy smell and Frankie setting the mood in the speakers, I...

I didn't know that was something people say. Fortunately, it was a fake smile so I can be trusted.
If a girl I liked was getting entangled with another guy, I'd try my best to ignore it and distance myself as well. And then, if I thought that I still had a chance, I'd get her phone number and make an effort to be in contact and see if she'd meet me alone.

Jag vet egentligen inte vad jag ska skriva. Palmqvist har brjat dissa mig, av ngon anledning. Det var som om det tog slut den dr kvllen med massagen. Jag vet inte varfr. Min vana trogen gillar jag heller inte att vara efterhngsen, s nr han ignorerar mig s ignorerar jag honom tillbaka. Nu knns det som om vi inte har s mycket att prata om...

Man, I tell you. This is getting seriously dangerous.
Went to Bobby's place tonight after the NVK-dinner. He was chilling with OC and his room mate he said, but invited me over for a beer. I jumped on it and got there to find him struggling with his msn with OC in the couch watching tv. His roomie was nowhere to be seen. Not...

Hopefully they come in a bundle because I could use some diversity in my life right now, my bundle seems to be all cyber related, need real people to show up some time. 
Good luck with the next four weeks, sounds like you have some work in store for you.

Once again travelling through the swedish forests on my way back to Stockholm yesterday after having spent one night in my cadet apartment after the return from Sarajevo I noticed something was different. Time and time again I caught myself looking for shrapnel damage and bullet wounds in the on the traditionally red houses that passed by outside the window, and I was constantly surprised...

hello lovely!
Back from Sarajevo.
It's been a good trip. Intense, but good. I'll post some pictures when I have gotten my camera in order.
There has been a lot to see. I have seen the shrapnel damage on the buildings of Sarajevo. I have walked down Sniper Alley where thousands of bullets were fired towards the women and children of the city. I have seen the...

I'm with you on making a difference if you can, helping if you have the ability, just makes snse doesn't it?
accuser:
Thank you on both counts.
It's unfortunate that over here in the US we don't really get those stories. It appears as though our media feels that, if it isn't American troops doing it, it doesn't really count.

The flight leaves at nine-fifty-five tomorrow morning. We've had pretty much the entire day to get everything sorted and packed, still everything in the pack list is neatly folded on my kitchen table. I'll pack tomorrow. It'll be best that way. Make it a surprise when I pack up to see what I have forgotten.
There was lots of other stuff I wanted to write...

Sleep well and safe trip to you

Safe trip, sweetness!
Going to Bosnia in five days now. Time moves so fast, it seems only last week we found out that we were going on a trip we didn't expect. On Wednesday we'll all be huddled into two TP84 and dispatched in Sarajevo where we'll spend a week traveling Bosnia to "see the sights", which in the military means Baccovici, Vares, Sarajevo and Srebrenica.

My cousin was over there when he was in the Rangers, at least I am pretty damn sure he told me he went through Bosnia, like you said, it's been 15 years so it's hard for me to recall off hand. Today his kid came to the house for Halloween as Wolverine, who knew that character could be adorable?
