So he got a little excited.

I'm thinking communications between here and Afghanistan can get a bit murkified.

Or he was in a hurry to get it posted and got a little heavy-handed on the mouse. Last I heard, he was gonna get to go fly today and was fairly pumped about it.

I'm trying to chase the tumbleweeds out of this post, but I don't think I succeeded very well. Sorry, all.

Incidentally, to get back on topic, someone on being interviewed on the radio used the word "Folks" three times. Yes, I counted.

There was a line in the movie last night about how a man who's spirit is unsettled will forever remain unhappy. It brought Mal to mind.

The reason that posted three times is because our connection here is tenuous at times. I hit the 'post' button and then get the "page cannot be found" message. . .so I hit 'back' and 'post' again, to make sure it gets through. Sorry if it is irritating.

Static, as long as you keep sending reports of you quiet and methodical conversion of your company in Afghanistan, nothing you could write would be the slightest bit irritating.

I tag logged this yesterday, but I thought I'd put it here toay. I think I know EXACTLY what it feels like to be pushed out of an airlock into the black. Yesterday the temp here was -9F, and the windchill was -34F. My place of business is on a small hill with no windbreaks, and the second I step out it feels like all the flesh on my face is beeing frozen or peeled of my face.

The fact that I heard Jayne's maniacal chuckle in my head was purely coincidental, I'm sure.

Just 15 minutes ago the boss was having a little employee conference and he happened to say something about "looking like heroes".

So of course what pops immediatly into my head...
"Big Damn Heroes, Sir"

Channain -
It feels good, don't it? Nothing like walking out of a too frelling hot office building and having the breath sucked right out of you by the cold! It's like being reborn - or, well, so I imagine. Yeah - I'm in Minnesota, too. (Work in Hopkins, live in Shakopee)

I always think of Firefly when I see my car - it reminds me of Serenity, not real purty, but oh-so reliable! Actually, Serenity's a whole lot purtier then my car!

I don't care what you do, as long as you do what I say.

Last night, my wife & I were watching Angel. Yeah I'm so getting drawn in. Anyway, the opening scene is in a mental ward / hospital. My wife says , "Good things never happen in hospitals in these shows (aka Buffy, Angel, Firefly)"

That and the pshyco slayer kept giving us flashbacks of River.

Think of it .."River the futuristic vampire slayer"

After dumpiing soup in her hair she stakes some poor vamp & says, "He looks better in dust."

WOOT WOOT! Another Minnesotan!! Man it's been lonesome, now there's three of us who hang out here.

Being reborn is a good way to put it - I could do without my nose hairs freezing, though.

Drove to work like Wash today. Both hands on the wheel, focused on the road, trying to avoid getting smished by two big semis...a cross between his determined look in "The Train Job," and his wild and crazy ride in "The Message."

I always think of Wash when I drive two-handed. I was taught how to drive by men (Dad, brother, boyfriend), which means it's natural for me to guide my car down the road with only one hand. Now two-handed - 8 and 4, not 10 and 2 - is somehow cooler than one-handed.

As if I wasn't getting into trouble already from channeling Toby Ziegler on The West Wing, now I have a tendency to channel Mal... especially when talking to people at work!

Luckily, I've already trained my mind not to say the first thing that comes into mind - otherwise I'd be in real trouble!

Ha! I work with a gal who's brothers were -smished between two big semis - yesterday! Everybody's ok, except for the truck they were driving in, of course.

I am sooo a Wash driver - two hands all the way, and total focus. Except I tend to sing while I'm doing it...so maybe not total focus I never really thought of it in relation to Wash, though. Wish I could get up and leave things on auto once in a while! Especially when everybody's doing 360's into the ditch. That aint so cool.

Okay, early this morning we had a "QRF" call, which stands for "Quick Reaction Force". . .turns out we had some of our guys in contact with the bad guys and it wasn't going well for our guys. My craft and the other gunship come screaming in to unleash some misery onto the bad guys and I say over the radio to my wingman, "Looks like we got here just in time. What does that make us?"

My wingman in the other bird says, "Big damn heroes, sir."

To which I naturally reply, "Ain't we just?"

I thought you guys would like that.
