F.E.A.R.

Probably a cool shooter with bullet time effects and a small japanese-style phycho-creepy girl with black hair. But if I want fear I go to Resident Evil for the Gamecube. Never been more afraid. Speaking of RE, Resident Efvul 4 is damned hard in pro-mode. The first village where you get to meet Mr. Chainsaw took me since yesterday to complete. I hope I'll get something relly nifty when I complete it again.

More scary stuff will be experienced tonight as a small celebration of having a free monday this weekend. Dark Water, the latest version. I shuld probably get to see the one from a few years ago... I heard it's really scary.

Not so scary: Charlie and the chocolate factory. Tim Burton rules.

And I have to link this, if you havn't already seen it.

Sweat

Yea, this post will be about sweat. Before this summer I had never been sweating so much that you could see it on the outside of my shirt. Not even when I was exercising really hard or playing football or anything. The military changed it all. The first experience was when we used the full combat gear for the first time. This includes a sort of body armor that protects from shrapnel and is made of thick fiber plates all over your body. It does not breathe well. More like a plastic bag. So the sweat went through the shirt, through the armor, and was visible on the jacket. Not the vest though, that would've been bad. From that moment I've been sweating more than I ever have before. When running, at the gym and so on... Why can't they just be like other people?

This has also caused me to love water more than any drink since that's the only thing you bring when in the field, and since you drink all the time to keep up with the sweat.

And I have a new haircut!
U.S. Army style, I know, but you do look kind of tough, dont you?

How time flies...

Well well... another week has passed and the miltary machinery goes on as usual. It's not that I'm bored... I think. It's just that I don't see too much point to it. I'm prety sure we won't go to war, and I won't be going on one of the abroad missions either. I am learning advanced first aid though... but it's so much therory now, and knowing that the blood vein in the throat is called arteria carotis in latin isn't going to save many lives. It'll probably get better when we get more practical exrercises and I get to ride and assist on an actual ambulance for four weeks.

But I shouldn't complain. At least I don't have to sleep in a tent. Not until after christmas (three weeks of freedom!) when it will be cold and... eew... The upside to that is that I will be riding in the big, bad and awesome armored terrain vehicle Patgb203 which has AC, CD-stereo, PA-system... and loads of armor. Not like the CV 90 or Strv 122... but still.

Medic!

My medic school has started. Quite interesting from time to time. This weekend turned out a little different from what I expected... I will do some serious chilling next week and weekend.

Also, download Starscape. Asteroids meets Freespace, and it's wonderful. Lovely graphics too.

Guess that's about it. See y'all next week.
