usually I feel old...

Today I feel VERY old. I decided to go to my college reunion, so I sent a note to my team lead and my project manager, saying I'd like to take two days off for my 20th reunion.

My 20th reunion. They were both in primary school, and I was graduating from college. *sigh* I'm working with CHILDREN!

:-)

My 20th reunion... I just can't get used to saying that...

while looking for the "It's..." man

I found this page of MtG: Monty Python cards.

If you're a Python fan, it's a marvelous trip down memory lane.

If you're a Python fan who's ever played any sort of CCG, it's hilarious.

Lots of images, so it takes a little while to load.

Edit: a special picture for Bryan

good article spotted by [livejournal.com profile] didotwite

I'm posting this so as to remind myself to go back and read it.

from the Washington Post

After three years, there are at least 550,000 veterans of the Iraq war. The Washington Post interviewed 100 of them -- many of whom were still in the service, others who weren't -- to hear about what their war was like and how the transition home has been.

Their answers were as varied as their experiences. But a constant theme through the interviews was that the American public is largely unaffected by the war, and, despite round-the-clock television and Internet exposure, doesn't understand what it's like.

You can't understand unless you were there .
