Seriously, why didn't anyone tell me to watch Band of Brothers before now?
I'm now fascinated by the Easy Company and have put several of their memoirs on my amazon wish list. I watched all ten episodes over the course of the weekend. It is one of those topics you learn about in school but don't really know about. Now I'm hooked. These may be the stories I read for my 101 Goals list. I am all inspired now and I really wish I had gotten to hear more of Pappaw Frank (not my pappaw) tell about the war the few times he talked about it. It makes me wonder what the next two generations will think of our generation's participation in this war. Are they going to be looked at as heroes? I feel like WW2 has been so romanticized with the war bonds and victory gardens and everything, that those men and women are really looked at as heroes. I feel like our generation we're at least currently looked at like we're stirring up shit. I'm not going to talk about war now. It is too much of a hot topic. But yes. I have a new history project to immerse myself in and i'm excited.
Oher than watching movies we've been super lazy. Blackbear burritos, Terminator (I give it a C+ for actually having one of the characters say "I'll be back."), going to the pool, grilling out at Steffs, and as we speak I have a spaghetti casserole in the oven. with extra cheese. dont tell.
I do not want to go to work tomorrow. 'specially since I didn't wake up till 11 today. I have missed sleeping in. I won't get to next weekend. It's going to be super busy, but fun. I get to see a smattering of a-holes that I miss very muchly (and you know i mean it if i cal them names)
spaghetti is done. Hope you all have a good end to your holiday!
