Blog surfing
While I'm normally pretty obsessive about checking out my top daily blogs, whenever Alex is out of touch for an extended period of time (like right now), my blog surfing goes up even more, with a heavy leaning toward military-related blogs. Though there may be some advantages to not being strongly connected to the military community (namely, that a semblance of normality is preserved in my daily life), it can also be pretty lonely. I have great real-life friends, but little desire to allow complaining to drag down any conversation with them. So, reading military blogs and books gives me a sense of being connected to Alex and what his life is like.
On of my newest favorites is My War--Fear and Loathing in Iraq, written by a soldier stationed in Iraq for the last ten months.
[Update: CBFTW has a great post called Mail Call, and the comments there make it even better--a fascinating, and civil, discussion of females in the military. Read it, it's awesome.]
Another, that I've been reading for quite a while (hence his place in my sidebar), is Sgt. Hook, who is currently deployed to Afghanistan.
How these two brave men find the energy to do the amount and quality of blogging that they put out escapes me. I'm unemployed (but searching!), and I don't always even have the energy to link. But they're like lifelines for me; even when I'm able to talk to Alex, he basically can't tell me anything about what he's doing, so I go elsewhere to get even the tiniest glimpse of what that life is like.
There are lots more out there, and at some point I'll get around to listing more of them. At the moment, however, I have to run to the grocery store to assemble a delicious dish for dinner and a movie with my best friend. Stay tuned for food blogging!
Update: Alex called this morning! There's a big smile on my face.
