So this is what LJ looks like... I'd forgotten.

Krissy might laugh at me for this- I just discovered Steven Crane's poetry, and I like it:



LVI

A man feared that he might find an assassin;
Another that he might find a victim.
One was more wise than the other.


III

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter -- bitter," he answered;
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart."

1. One book that changed your life.
Many books by have changed my life in small ways, but I can't think of any that substantially changed my life.

2. One book you have read more than once.
Robert Heinlein's "The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress" has probably gotten more time than any of my other books. "Lord of the Rings" might give it a good run, though.

3. One book you would want on a desert island.
"How To Survive on a Desert Island"

4. One book that made you laugh.
"The Onion's Guide to Homeland Security" - Thanks family! :D

I don't think I've ever cried over a book.

6. One book you wish had been written.
The book I'm going to write. Don't worry- I'll make my wish come true.

7. One book you wish had never been written.
I would never wish such a thing on a book.

8. One book you are currently reading.
For study: "Alif Baa" - Arabic characters, pronunciation and such
For fun: "The Annals of Imperial Rome"

9. One book you have been meaning to read.
For study: "Al-kitaab fii taallum al-arabiyya" - Beginning Arabic book that's sitting on my shelf because I've been on constant missions.
For fun: "The Fountainhead" - Ayn Rand, same deal.

Hey guys.

You might hear on the news today that three Idaho soldiers were killed in Iraq yesterday. I just wanted all of you to know that I'm ok. I knew all the guys that were killed pretty well, but I can't say more than that until I know for sure that their families know. Wish you all well.

So, our good friends in the religion of peace are back at it.
Thanks to a buddy of mine over in Bahgdad who gave me a heads up to "look for some news from over in my area" a few days ago, I bring you this link

The gist:
Peace emmisaries are spotted planting an IED. When chased, they run into a mosque and thumb their noses.
US and Iraqi troops cordon and search the mosque, finding two fully prepped car bombs, a bike bomb, and stocks
of weapons, mines, and IEDs.

Way to go.
