Whew, back from my last 1176 mile drive. It was quite the experience. I'd never really been in tune with the whole military ideal, I mean none of my family has had much military experience and those that have don't really talk about it. So, coming to an Air Force base was to be quite the experience. Let me say it was completely different then I had expected. I guess the picture in my mind was rows and rows of those half-cylinder barracks and a few planes. Man, I was wrong. They have a freakin' Burger King! On base! They have a huge grocery store (with booze and meat that costs about half of what it does on the outside), a gas station and even a Wal-Mart like thing. It's crazy! It was good to see Reed again after it having been so long. All in all it was a very relaxed weekend, which was nice. The past couple of weeks have really been running around and always having to do something. This weekend was lots of sitting around and doing nothing. Which, while I didn't know it at the time, was exactly what the doctor ordered.
While I was up there I got to watch some anime, most specifically Twelve Kingdoms. It was pretty cool. No doubt Tim thinks it's crappy, but while the first 12 episodes or so episodes felt like Fushigi Yugi (let us never speak of that weekend), it actually got really good. There are better synopsis online then I can offer, so I won't bother. It was good though.
So now, it's time to begin the mad dash of packing and craziness! Today I'm going to try and plan my attack for the rest of the week. I really don't even know what I have left to do. Whew... we'll see. Oh, I added more pics to the gallery.
