Thread Name: BS: Settling in Guam
Subject: RE: BS: Settling in Guam
I am sitting in the college library supposedly doing homework before my class begins but I am procrastinating. The battery on my computer is almost dead so I will have to shut down shortly.

There is still no light at the end of the tunnel as far as ND is concerned. I will apply for a job at Wakana's school and go to work for them if they'll have me.

I found some interesting sites while researching WWI and WWII slang for a paper I'm supposed to be working on. I will post the addresses later. One has the histories of ships, all ships, no matter whose, no matter where. At least that is their goal.

I have also been catching up on some Internet comic strips I used to read back in Maine. I have (had) ten years to catch up on. I am getting there. One is Sluggy Freelance. The other is Kevin & Kell. Sluggy is pure brain candy, not good for you but funny at times. Kevin & Kell is also very funny but it uses a world where the civilization is based on animals being intelligent. There are predator species and prey species living in a world with telephones and computers. Kevin is a large rabbit and Kell is a wolf. They are married. This does not sit well with the rest of civilization. When they go to a restaurant they have trouble because the staff assumes Kell brought Kevin as her meal. There are a lot of very silly and funny interactions that reflect on our society making it a social commentary as well as a funny comic strip.
