One thousand and one

I just booked out on Wednesday night from a grueling perpetual battle against army open house. Well, the thingie itself is quite manageable, but I never seen so many stores in my life before. Stores are evil scary things. Imagine, a 5-tonner, and two 10 tonners full of heavy bulky stores. Table, chairs, countless poles and weird funny stores. and the bane of mankind-camo nets! Scary! Loading and unloading is still very man power intensive. and the work that has to be done is tremendously wicked. load unload load unload WASH load unload. and move it from place to place It was mainly like classic strength trainnig plus a nice bake under the sun. And did I mention that the sun has been relentlessly blazing for the last few days.

So I got my weekend burned. (no, not by the sun). This week, thursday friday are off days. And next week, thurs and fri are off days as well. Compensation is always very nice. Double consecutive long weekends are so sweet. Yesterday when I awoke, I never felt so much civilian tranquility. So peaceful.

Yesterday I watched the movie 9 with my fellow surveyers. In my humble opinion, the film was average. The plot could be much better, there was actually potential in the whole concept but a 1.5 hour film wasn't enough to totally unleash it all. It could have been much better if it was in a series, where individual characters were developed properly. The show was rushed, but I think it had a nice sense of flow. I didn't feel bored, but the ending was abrupt, which made the whole film seem shaky with lots of mysterious left unclear. I liked the concept, but they rushed it, and blewed it. Well, but I've seen much worst movies so I guess this one can be considered decent though it does lack some meaning.
