First post of 2010 ! I’d say my new year resolution is to post more often on the blog but then that would have already failed

In any case, happy new year !

So what have I been up to so far ? Did the usual new year celebrations. This year it was at Chan & Dimitry’s. We were with 10 people, the usual 6 (the other 2 being Kristof & Els) and then 4 neighbors of Dimi. Food was great just like previous years

New year traditionally comes with lots of eating, and it didn’t just stop at old year’s eve itself. We also went to visit Katrien’s parents and exchanged gifts. I got a new 16GB USB stick, which was nice because my old one was about to die. We also went twice to my dad’s. The first time because Kristel was there. She recently moved to the UK so it was nice to catch up. My grandparents from my mother’s side also came by there so more food was served. January isn’t a great month for people who try to watch their weight I’d say

I can tell you about a new year resolution that the guys and myself made though: to play Descent (boardgame) more often. So we had a game last week. Took a while for all the rules to come back, that game sure is complicated. Next week we’re having another game, taking advantage now that everything is still fresh in our minds

Johan & Gwendoline came by yesterday. It had been ages since I last saw them. I kept saying I’d invite them but it always got postponed. Glad that we finally managed to catch up though. Turns out that they are thinking of making a fairly similar trip as us to California and surroundings. Gave them a few pointers Will tell them to swing by Dana & Thomas if they ever need a solid breakfast with lots of eggs and stuff

A new year also means new gadgets ! Unfortunately my new surround system has yet to arrive (why is Redcoon always so sloooooooooow ??). I hope to receive it this week though. However one thing that I’m definitely getting this week is the USS Darthy G (my new car). It’s a Renault Megane new model. I can pick it up on Friday, excitement !

So what will be the gadget of the year for me ? I’m not entirely sure, but I think one of those new tablet computers they showed off at CES will have a big chance. Or maybe the rumored Apple tablet if it actually comes out and is not too expensive … time will tell An SSD for my computer is also high on the list.

Oh and just for your information: Dragon Age Origins is absolutely awesome (still) ! I can recommend this game to everyone, I even got Valery addicted, hehe *proud*.
