The market here has huge sections of chines copies of movies and TV shows.. To purchase one is a gamble, and so here is my confessions of getting stung not once but twice. Ghost in the Shell: This is a 28 disk collection for a well know Amine series. Turns out that the collection they downloaded does not have English subtitles or dubbing. I see friends of mine that know a bit of Japanese getting a present this Xmas. Farscape: This was a eight disk collection that was to have all the episode, now I would think it would take more then that, ether way seven of the disk were blank.


Its been an eventful few days. Lets start with losing my internet for four days as they try to make changes to the network. As I am quite addicted to internet access this left me twitchy. The engineering compound had a little fire and lost one of the storage tents. Its a little scary as it was the same type of tent we use for sleeping and it went up quick with huge flames. All that was left was a smothering pile of melted plastic. On the company's barbecue day, the linemen decided they wanted a toga party, and strappy joined in. Don't worry there is picture but he wanted to put them on his own blog. He seems to look good in a toga so I expect to see some roman garb from him in the near future. The picture of the crane gives a idea of what night is like in the camp, as there is tones of big lights every ware they reflect on the dust and smoke in the air. The net effect is a pretty techno-color glow to the base.

As it seem in this post it's confession time, I have a problem. It seems that I'm developing a Person rug addiction. With my first silk rug purchase in hand I want more... They are gorgeous things and and it would be amazing to decorate with for both for sca and mundanely. The problem is there very expensive and I need to pay dept and save money to survive on for the six month at home next year. The plan now is just get a few got hare, that's if I get there?

My vacation is in doubt. This is frustration. I requested when I first got back to have my leave in November, but the request is in the air, apparently someone in the company or DND wants the extra week I took off back. This was the unpaid week I took to go to my brother funeral back. Arrrg. This last month has been much frustration. A little project on my spare time to get a four tent network going has ballooned over and over again.

Balloon One was getting asked by the IT manager To expand this to eight tents that IT people are at. Balloon Two was getting asked by the site assistant manager to do all 40 and add a movie library. Balloon Three was yesterday when the VIP told every one that he was going to offer this tent network with free internet.This situation has been made more complex as there is a history of two past attempts and the remains from them. The remains include more then just physical equipment but the emotional issues of past work and money showing no return.
