So it's been a little while since I last posted any sort of update so I'll try to be concise. Things are going pretty well overall, the weather here is somewhat temperamental which makes for some interesting days. Some days, ie. today, it will fluctuate from over 100 degrees to strong winds and cold rain. Today we had a combination thunder/sand storm which was pretty freaking cool and also ridiculous since I was caught in the middle of it working outside. Things are staying relatively busy here which helps the time pass by a little quicker, definitely helps you keep your mind off home. I spend the majority of my off time at the gym or using the internet to keep touch with everyone back home. The gym thing is really what's been the most motivating here, since I left the US I have lost around 27 lbs. total. I left the States weighing in at a rotund 220 and I'm currently down to about 193, my goal before I leave is to touch 180-185.
So, at work I've gotten in the habit of reading webcomics to kill the down-time and I've become addicted to XKCD, so if you have not been introduced please kindly direct your browser to www.xkcd.com it's a wicked funny comic for those of you who are sarcastic and a little bit geeky. My favorite thing about this comic is the mouseover text that the artist includes, normally it's either an extension to the joke or a side comment that is equally amusing, sometimes more so than the comic itself.
