Hmmm... I imagine it's safe to say that you recommend this book? Maybe I'll check it out.

[/quote]Yeah, it's a classic. You should read The Forever War and Starship Troopers too if you like military Sci Fi.

I read Starship Troopers a couple months ago, and have been wanting more. The Forever War is now on my library queue, and I've gotta track Armor down somewhere, because my library search came up empty. Thanks for the recommendation.

[/quote]Another good one is Old Man's War, although it's amusing how similar in theme it is to The Forever War, when the author of OMW admits in the foreword that he didn't read TFW before he wrote it ;x
Back on an FML note, I will probably have to go BACK to Central Wisconsin for the next several weeks. For fuck's sake, people.

If I'm there long enough, I most definitely will. But it's a 5 hour drive :/
i'm sorry you have to go to wisconsin
Confirmed, I'm leaving at 11:30am tomorrow. Probably won't be coming back home until after my next scheduled trip, so I get to leave home for ~2 weeks to spend time in rural fucking Wisconsin.
At least when I was in Germany there was cool shit to see.
Fuck all you Wisconsin haters.
"Mixed blessings":
My roommate hooks up a job interview for me with a cool company.
Don't get me wrong, I'm going to do my best, but I may be relieved if I get to stay off work long enough to be part of a 6-man Derby team.

I grew up in Chicago, and I used to live in Milwaukee, so it's not like I'm hating on something I'm unfamiliar with. I was also in that town last week, and it took me fucking 17 hours to get home from there because Delta sucks donkey nuts and stranded me in Detroit.
The main reason it's worth mentioning is because I don't know anyone within a 3 hour drive from there, unlike (say) rural Virginia, Indiana, Washington state, Oregon, Maine, or Florida (off the top of my head), where there's a BRBu-er nearby.

I was born in Green Bay, so I've got loyalty to rep.
Wait, who do you know that lives up here in Maine?
