Some music while you read:  [YouTube:vy-313FF7u0&rel=1] James Blunt and Rap. Yup. That's my eccentric tastes for ya. So as you may have noticed, this isn't episode 5. That time of year.

I've been deployed somewhere out in the Middle East for the past few months, and decided that some of my hard earned money should go towards the Geek inside me. What would a normal geek do?
