Thanksgiving

25, Nov 2009

It’s a rainy Thanksgiving Day in Kuwait (yes- raining AGAIN!). So the first thing I’m thankful for is making it to work alive. I promise to drive less when I get home. I also want to express my deepest thanks to Kerry and Chris, who have stood by me these past two years and even [...]

Saturday

21, Nov 2009

It’s raining. This is the second time this week. On Tuesday, it rained at the same time we were having a sandstorm. An odd rain.

Movies

1, Nov 2009

As I have said before, I watch a lot of movies. Not much else to do here. I also watch a TV series or two that I have picked up along the way (such as Twin Peaks and the new Fox show Fringe, which I am enjoying immensely!). But mainly it’s movies. The cable out [...]
