Pearl Harbor Day

[filkertom]

Never forgotten.

Yes, I know it's late in the day. I'll be home tomorrow night, with my full-throttle bandwidth, and see if I can get my trousers out of hock. Just shows what kinda internet fool I am, that I kept thinking One Of The First Things I Have To Do When We Settle In Is Post About Pearl Harbor.

And how's your weekend been?

ETA: All right, apparently it was decommissioned. But it still serves as an active military cemetery.

It's been very good. I've focused on being postal on the internet instead of actually getting anything done. It's great!

Comatose. Down with some sort of digesto-pulmonary munge, as is Anne.

The only reason we got through the weekend in one piece is that both boys are completely obsessed with spore. Dorian plays pretty much from the moment he wakes up until we pry his hands off the mouse at bedtime.

When I'm feeling better, I'll probably be a bit worried about this -- it's really reaching pathological levels -- but for the moment, Spore is one hell of a surrogate caregiver. Television is Brittney Spears on a bender in comparison.

The Arizona was decommissioned on December 29, 1941 (http://www.nvr.navy.mil/nvrships/details/BB39.htm), contrary to popular misconception.

"Contrary to popular belief, the USS Arizona is no longer in commission."

While the USS Arizona is no longer a commissioned vessel, it is considered an active military cemetery. Many survivors of the USS Arizona have arranged to be cremated upon their deaths and have their ashes interred in the ship among their comrades.

Lazy weekend. Chatted online with a new friend until way too early this sunday morning, which has completely thrown off my sleep schedule. I need to go sleep now. ^^

But I spent the weekend hibernating in my apartment and watching episodes of House, and chatting online.

To answer your question

Thinking about my grandfather who was there and survived, and all he had to say of his service during WWII was that he lost his two best friends that day.

Pearl Harbor is my earliest memory of an international event. I've always felt tha that speaks badly of the kind of world we live in.

7 December is also my birthday!

I've always felt a tiny bit guilty about that.

Eep! I need to call my folks; it is their anniversary. As my father kids my mom: "A day that shall live on in infamy..."
