Steven Hawking is british? He doesn't sound like it.

I so don't want to go to drill this weekend. They keep wanting me to do a bunch of other missions. BNCOC phase 2 is all I want to do so that I can get promoted (for my last promotion that I care about). Their asking for volunteers for Iraq and Afghanistan (again) and a few other missions to... other places. If I wanted to spend that much time away I'd just go to work for Blackwater for a whole lot more. Although, if I don't find a good job flying right away after I get my CFI, it is nice to have all this stuff as a back up.

Anyway, hopefully early week after next I'll be taking the much ballyhoo'd checkride. I have the flying portion down and am just cram studying for the oral portion. 80% first time failure on this checkride. Fuck.

Oh, a few of the podcasts I've been downloading:

Rocketboom- Daily news and general quirkiness.

Ask A Ninja- Weekly comedy. It amazing what someone can do with a greenscreen and a black ninja outfit.

P.I.D. Radio- Peering into Darkness. These folks are so nuts it's great. This week they are convinced that demonic possession is running rampant in Pennsylvania. And that Nazi's imported it here during WWII. Seriously.

Onion Radio News- Daily faux news stories in a NPR style delivery.

Geekbrief.TV- Geek and gadget news. From a hot chick. Score.

StrongBad Emails- Just plain silliness.

Ministry of Unknown Science- Skit comedy. Hilarious.
