Let me start by wishing everyone Merry Christmas (a bit too late) and a Happy New Year. I hope you are all having a wonderful time

Myself, I have a little vacation. Week and a half (which is almost over actually) to be precise. I celebrated Christmas evening at my dad’s house, which was packed with relatives. Food was good but we left before dessert. Katrien had to work during the day and she was really tired. It was also very loud

My main entertainment during this vacation has been Dragon Age Origins, an old fashioned RPG. I love the story line, it sucks you right in. So that’s been filling most of my vacation. You should check it out if you have the chance.

Other than that I went to Valery’s for 2 days. We went to see Avatar again, it’s really an awesome movie. If you haven’t seen it yet you should. And go see it in 3D, people keep telling me how good it is (darn them ! ). I introduced Val to Dragon Age and I have a feeling she’ll continue playing it. However that wasn’t the game that got us captivated. We spent a lot of time playing Trine, a simple platform game on the PS3 that you can buy online for less than 10 Euro. It’s very beautiful and has a nice puzzle element to it. I think we’re close to finishing it.

Now for another yearly tradition, Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas if I didn’t buy a huge present for myself now would it ? I wasn’t planning on it really, I swear ! Normally I would get my dad’s old surround system to use at Castle Jorn. Unfortunately they didn’t work with my setup (as they are originally PC speakers). So I ordered a whole new surround system which set me back quite a bit (but not in the ridiculous expensive category though as some people wanted to convince me to do ). I’ll be using my dad’s old system for my pc, so it’s not a total loss. I just hope the neighbors don’t complain
