I finally figured out how to add an image into my Blog Title, how sad is that? lol

Since I was in Aachen the other day, I went through all the pictures I took and managed to do a little photo editing to one that I really liked. So, ta-dah! It's officially my Blog topper now :)

Random Recommendations

Since being in Belgium, I'm rather limited to the sort of shows that're on TV. Given, I get to watch Sky TV, which is a thing that broadcasts British shows as well as very old American shows. Anyway, here's a list of shows that I highly suggest for any TV buff to watch:

Sons of Anarchy are currently airing their 2nd season on Fox FX

Dexter just released their 3rd season on DVD

Scrubs just released their 8TH season on DVD! That's gotta tell you something if they've managed to stick around that long :)

The Wire currently has the 5th season out. In fact, they have seasons 1-5 in a colletors pack available (which is ALOT cheaper than buying it individually) from HBO.

I'm absolutely INLOVE with CSI: Las Vegas. I'm currently searching for season 3, but I know there's 8 seasons out now.

I believe the 3rd season of The Tutors is out. If you're a history buff, this is definitely an interesting show to see all the things that went on while King Henry was around. Some pretty shady shit went on during his reign!

Even though there's no longer making new episodes, The Soprano's, Six Feet Under and ROME are GREAT shows that've come out from HBO. I have both collector sets and absolutely love 'em.

A very intense Sci-Fi show.. and I'll admit, I'm not one dorky Science Fiction and all, but I love this series. I THINK there's currently 5 seasons of Battlestar Galactica....

This show is pretty awesome. If you've ever read Belle De Jour's blogs, this lives up to her stories. Season 2 is currently out on DVD.

I own season 1 of True Blood and it's down right addicting. Season 2 is currently finishing up on HBO.

Off of the top of my head, this is what I could come up with. I'll eventually make another list.

Aachen, Germany

Eric and I were able to make today a "Date Day" since it was "Family Day" on base..meaning he had the day off. SCORE! John ended up still having school.. so rather than us be couch potatoes, we took advantage of the free time and boogied on up to Aachen, Germany.  It's actually only 20 minutes further than where we go to the Commissary, so it wasnt that bad of a drive.

Here's ALOT of pictures from today :D Hope you enjoy!

In my last post, I talked about "The Body Shop" and their oil burners. Eric was really diggin' the one I have set up in the living room and wanted to check out the different scents. Well, we were puttin' around the store and I found another burner I wanted to get for our shower room since it'd go with the colors in there.. but mainly.. that room smells like old man all the time and I hate it, lol. No matter how much febreeze I use, the smell doesnt die! Eric found an oil that smells like clean linen / cotton, so we figured we'll use that for the shower room. I asked the clerk about the burner and she said they don't sell that particular model anymore, so, she said I could have it for FREE. Say what?? She double checked with the Manager and he even said I could just have it since they didn't have any in stock anymore and they were just going to toss it anyway.. nice score hunh? :D I ended up getting a few more oils and some amazing Vitamin E Body Butter stuff (HIGHLY reccommend it) and we rolled out of there before I could do some additional retail damage.

There was a store went into called "Oil & Vinegar"... it was freakin' AWESOME! It had different containers mounted on the wall with the specific regions of Italy the olive oils came from. They also sell these Granite Mortars there (only 16 euro!!) and there's a ton of different herbs and spices you can buy for 'em to crush up your stuff. I've been looking for one as a decoration piece for the kitchen, so I was really stoked to find it there. SUPER HEAVY! We also managed to pick up this orgasmic pesto mix that's to die for!
