Daaaa Bears!! Its on armed forces network on the Sat tv. Bad quality and they
keep showing movie previews that I can't freaking see! Like the True Grit
remake!!!! GAH!

Tell the Miller family I said merry Christmas. I'm on Hawaii time now btw
too.Dangit.

Haven't found out about Will Ferrel. I think it was just a well thought out
rumor. Rumors spread like wildfire around here. Most of them just to see how
far it can go. Its kind of a game here to see how prolific a rumor you can
start

"the jp5 is contaminated! We're pulling into Hawaii to get new fuel"
"Did you hear? Clint Eastwood died yesterday"
"They're setting up a wifi network on the USS G. W. Bush, everyone can log
onto the internet with their laptops!"
"change in plans, we have a port visit to Australia now!"
"now we're going to new zeland"
(for the record we are going no where NEAR these places.)

(Alex has had no money for three weeks because his ATM account has to be set up on the ship. He is waiting for phone cards but got $10 in a Christmas Card).
See the problem is that 10 bucks actually has to go somewhere. I've been
showering with handsoap for a week. There's a list of stuff I need. MAYBE I
can pull a favor but most people don't have phone cards in my department. They're all mostly single and decided that email communication
works well enough for their family.

Quote of the day (QOTD)
"I wish were in a movie and the screen could just go "six months later," and
we're pulling into home. You know, like I have a random scar and a mustache
and my face is more weathered and I just LOOK like I matured"
"Maybe if we put on 80's montage music it'll work"
