Oops … been far too long again. I guess I’m not even going to make the bi weekly blog post I set myself out to do.

So what have I been upto ? First some follow up on my last post

I finished Dragon Age, what an awesome game. The storyline is the best I’ve ever had in any game, the twists in the plot are phenomenal. Can’t wait for the expansion. I now bought Mass Effect, which is similar in RPG style (but SciFi setting). The action is first person shooter though. I started playing it and it’s kinda cool, however I got sucked into another game so it’s a bit on hold. The game in question is Star Trek Online. I didn’t expect much of it as I was thinking it would just be another WoW clone but it’s actually quite different. It consists out of 2 parts, space and ground exploration. The space part is awesome, the ground not so much. Still, Arwen, Kirsten and Bouw got it also so that makes it more fun, we’ll see how long I’ll keep playing it. At least until I get a bigger ship ! Shields to maximum, fire all phasers !

Also cool is the fact that I got my new car. The USS Darthy G ! I have a feeling that at this rate I’ll run out of letters in the alphabet before I’m 50 I’m actually really liking this one though. Sure it’s not a Mazda 6 looks wise, but it drives just as nicely and has a cooler GPS (me = gadget freak). Only downside is that there’s not much space in the back, but since I won’t be sitting there that’s not really a biggie I also love the low CO2 emission since that’s what they are taxing on now. Will save me a couple of 100 euro / year compared to the Mazda !

My surround system finally arrived. Oh boy that took a while ! In the end I had to change the color from black to silver or it would have taken 2 more months. Not great service at Redcoon who didn’t have a clue what was going on, I had to call the distributor of the speakers myself to get some answers. But I got it, setting it up this weekend ! Watch out neighbors !

We recently had another poker evening. Kristof had bought brown Leffe’s especially for me so I couldn’t refuse. To make a long story short, I broke my own personal record and drank 6 Leffe’s. I was feeling a bit funny but everyone was surprised I wasn’t sick afterward. It’s not my problem they can’t stand their alcohol I said Didn’t win at poker though, but that was to be expected

Last week there were some people from the Ukraine over for work. We went on training together to a partner’s headquarters to get ourselves familiar with the platform they’ve been building for us. Soon Kristof and I have to go to Ukraine ourselves. I’m really hoping it won’t be -20 Celcius over there then though ! I think I’ll be packing my ski pants Still should be fun to see that side of Europe even if it’s only for 3 days.

The last bit of news I have is about Arwen. He went through a major (planned) surgery yesterday. Gave me a bit of a scare when I didn’t get an “I’m ok” in the evening. But this morning he texted me to let me know everything went fine. I’ll pass by there this weekend to give him a visit.

I think that’s about it, you’re all up to speed again
