Sorry BlueJ, I still have a box sitting here to send you. It's cram-packed with DVD movies for you to watch. Don't feel too badly though, they're right next to the boxes of Christmas gifts for my family that I haven't sent either... getting to the post office isn't something I do well. :)

Porn is a UCMJ offense in a combat zone. But does a bear dooky in the woods?

toobzoom.com has all the movies and TV shows your heart desires (as long as you don't mind some of the movies shot from a personal camera somewhere in japan.)
