New Address

Here's the new address. I'm stocked well for most items but feel free to send whatever you like. (Unabashed plea for goodies.)

Sgt. James V. Tourville
227 En Co
APO 09366


And to shift gears a bit, here's a plethora of photos my friend has posted from a year long journey abroad through his The Watson Fellowship.

Enjoy!

On the move

I've made the move to the new base safely and I've been settling into the new gravel pit over the last week. It's definatly an improvement, facility wise, but there is a bit of time tacked on for the commute back to our previous base where our job continues. I'll have a meatier post with pictures about the place up soon. For now I've posted a few unrelated new pictures up on the photo site, including a new black and white category.

Flickr gadget thingy

A friend pointed out a neat site that I thought some of you flickr users might enjoy.

From the site:

Flickr Graph is an application that explores the social relationships inside flickr.com. It makes use of the classic attraction-repulsion algorithm for graphs. Start exploring your contacts by entering your flickr username or the email address you used to register there.

Moving Soon

We should be moving within the week so it would be good if everyone held off from mailing until I get my new address. I'll post it here as soon as I get it.

It's odd but my time here is becoming a blur and I'd attribute that to the monotony of our work and daily activities. It's not that it's going by fast or slow, but instead simply a carbon copy of the day before. Many people joke that it's not unlike the movie Groundhog Day which sadly holds a bit of truth minus the driving rodent and toaster electrocutions of course. The move should change things a bit, and from what I've seen and heard our new base looks pretty comfortable for an army base in Kuwait.

A few people have asked if the events in London have had an effect on us here. For the most part we've had an increase in security but things still seem the same. From what little news I saw here it looked like the Londoners were pretty shaken but undettered by what happened. Admittedly this may just be the medias spin on it since I get a narrow slice of television footage here.

Photo Update
I've posted 4 new pictures in the photo section.
