Brillo's Dog Blog: October 2008
http://admiralbrillo.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 8, 2008. How cute is my dog? Seriously. How cute is my dog? Brillo sits on the steps for a better view of his pool. I love it when dogs sit like that. My dog displays his partisanship. Please, don't hold it against him. He just likes John McCain's white hair (it matches his) and Sarah Palin's lipstick (he likes hockey moms better than pitbulls). 160;I hope he thinks about that the next time he needs to pee while indoors. Here's Brillo's new squeaky toy. Several times, I have he...

Thursday, November 13, 2008. Brillo loves his daddy! The feeling seems to be mutual. OMG How horrible am I? All my readers (all, like, 3 of you) have no doubt given up on my due to my extreme delinquency. Right? So, I am likely talking to myself right now, since you've all gone. But please come back to me. I think the new updates and pictures will make it worth your while. Let the cuteness of the Brillso lure you in. THE RETURN OF DADDY! The man said, "Is that a griff?

Saturday, July 3, 2010. The comments are always better.

Iraqi Bootleg: Why are vampires getting younger?
http://iraqibootleg.blogspot.com/2010/05/why-are-vampires-getting-younger.html
Saturday, May 22, 2010. Why are vampires getting younger? The original Dracula was 400 something when he seduced Mina Harker, quite an age difference. (published 1897). Anne Rice's Louis was just shy of 200 when he first appeared. In print. (1976) (Lestat broke the cycle, being almost 250 when his book. Was published in 1983). Stefan, the hero of the Vampire Diaries novels. Was 500, (1991) but in the TV remake. He has become just over 150. (2009). About a child vampire (sort of like a vampire version of ...

Iraqi Bootleg: Emotional Reticence
http://iraqibootleg.blogspot.com/2010/07/emotional-reticence.html
Wednesday, July 7, 2010. So, I've had a number of questions from friends and family about when exactly I will be finished with this particular time in Iraq. 1) Most people who survive combat do so because of luck. 2) You can cut your odds a bit through training and preparation, but at the end of the day you didn't get hit by the incoming because you just happened to choose that moment to get out of your chair. Now, a lot of "luck" is also the Confirmation Bias. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Iraqi Bootleg: June 2010
http://iraqibootleg.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 23, 2010. Octopi scare the crap out of me. They can perform complex tasks, solve problems, and draw connections (like squirting out a lightbulb in its tank at night because its lonely and wants the company when the handyman comes to fix it). And now they can gamble. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Chairwoman of the Bordeaux. Just my random thoughts, mainly about the problems of living on a FOB in Iraq. View my complete profile.

Nancy in Iraq.Again. A defense contractor chronicles her second tour in Iraq working for the Multi-National Corps. It is an account of daily life aboard one of the world's largest forward operating bases. Wednesday, November 30, 2005. I realized recently that I haven't said much about my office. My team is situated inside of Saddam Hussein's Al Faw Palace, Camp Victory, Iraq (see above photo). D They are super delicious. Look. Here's a photo of one, to the right:. Here's a shot of the first four members ...

Iraqi Bootleg: March 2010
http://iraqibootleg.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 29, 2010. Doesn't investment carry in itself some inherent risk? Does "in itself" and "inherent" make that sentence redundant? Apparently real estate investors in Virginia are pissed off and suing. Because Fort Lee is going to build its own hotel. For transitioning soldiers, and they had gone to all the trouble to toss the dice on hotel investment in the area, so now their "sure thing" investment is being put into jeopardy. Things to never say on an airplane. It was pretty funny, though.

Iraqi Bootleg: April 2010
http://iraqibootleg.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 17, 2010. Apparently Dyncorp has been training the Afghan police, but forgot the simple basic step of teaching them how to adjust their sights. Now I don't know about other training, but in Basic Training we spent a week just learning how to zero in a weapon. When a unit goes to the range, everyone has to zero in their weapon, EVERY TIME. Now, there are many other issues. So will teaching the Afghan police how to shoot properly improve their overall proficiency as police? A pun, get it?

Iraqi Bootleg: February 2010
http://iraqibootleg.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 27, 2010. A tale of two earthquakes. So, Chile got hit by a big earthquake. Today, an 8.8 strength one. Not exactly news, the largest earthquake ever recorded happened in Chile in 1960. However, I think it interesting the disparity between the toll in Chile (first reports of 82 dead), and the damage in Haiti. 230000 dead). Now, maybe the different between an 8.8 and a 7.0 doesn't seem all that big, but one has to bear in mind that the MMS Scale. Thursday, February 18, 2010. First, the ...
