Well, I haven't updated for a while...but then, I've been enjoying my temporary freedom IMMENSELY. I've been having a wonderful time...I dyed my hair Manic Panic(tm) Ultraviolet, which means 'll have to cut it all off when I go back to Korea, but that's OK. I'm having fun with it, and the wife *really* likes it. Besides, it won't take that long to grow it back. . . it was a military haircut to start with, after all.

Let me see now. What else. bought lots of cool stuff, gambled way too much oney away in Reno, and saw my little brother for the first time in about 2 years. My mother is going to be *so* fucking pissed at my wife and I. . . we sent the kid home with a bright blue "liberty spike" mohawk. Got pictures, which I will try to get posted to my site as soon as I get get bock (not to mention getting all of my shit up and running for the site itself).

Really that about all I have been doing lately. . . drinking way too much, but the I always do that. And I am very impressed. The wife kept up with me drinking the Jinro soju I brought home. I had no idea she would e able to drink with me with that stuff.

OK, well, she's about out of the shower, and I have fucking to look forward to. So I must go, as I want to be done with this by the time she's ready to go (I'm only human, after all *wink*).

"We need some people on the street, scoring your driving. Sort of like secret shoppers."

"Right babe. And they could even have some sort of uniforms on. ANd a badge."
(At that point we both collapsed into laughter as she realized what she had said)
- The wife and I, in the car the other night -

So here I am, less than 24 hours away from going back home to see my wife. OH MY FUCKING GOD, I never thought this day would come...good christ, I can barely believe it's only tomorrow that I get on that plane. I went out to the PX and bought a bunch of books for the flight (and layovers, of course, goddess know that there will be nothing to do in an airport in Japan, as I speak absolutely *no* japanese), and got some burger king for tonight. I plan to attempt to finish off my beer, and get up at about 5:30/6:00ish to get going tomorrow. And dammit, I just realized I forgot to buy coffee. Shit. LOL Ah well, that's the way the artificially sweetened pastry fragments into smaller bits of slighty burned dough, as they say. I dont really care that much, it just would have been nice for in the morning. In fact, no. I don't care. I'm on my way to Reno to get some well-deserved ass. I'm SO psyched to be finally seeing her after 8 months of missing her every day. *sigh* Of course, it won't be all bravy...I do have to come back, after all.

So here it is Wednsday, and I still can't believe I'm finally going to be going back home for a little while. I mean damn, it really says something about how lobng it feels like I've been here when the concept of going home feels totally surreal. I'm still counting down, though.

So let's see now, what else. Let's see, Monday night I went out with my battle Tony, and drank enough soju that I remember about half the night clearly. The rest is just little fuzzy blurs. I haven't drank that much in a *long* time...I got so lit that I actually left my leather jacket at the bar. I woke up with barely any time to spare for formation, and still in ALL my clothes, including my boots. Then of course, PT was HORRIBLE, as I was still pretty good and drunk. Sadly, that's been the most interesting part of my week. Nothing much else to report...just that I'm *so* psyched to go home, finally, after eight months here....damn.

Of course, the down side is, I've got to come back in a month, to stay here until I get to my next duty station in Europe. Ah, well, C'est la vie, I suppose. At least the wife will be coming with me to that one...well, until I end up headed to the sandbox again. But that's OK too, I guess. You make damn good money out there, and tax-free, to boot.

Well, until next time I update.
