It doesn't matter which side you are on ...

If you go around shooting guns or blowing stuff up and you kill innocent people in the process - you're a bad guy.

minus 50 DKP

Some days I really wonder what the point is.

For most people, it's obviously not what I think it is.

Random mishmash

Interesting times at work, proper chinese style.
Gabe has most definitely learned the "milk" sign - however, when he uses it he means "I want".
He also can't say Tiger yet. He can point, though, and he uses the pointing finger to great effect.

Indie games are really picking up steam right now ...

Tuck that in, young man

If anyone had told me 20 years ago that one of life's guilty little pleasures would be tucking my child in to bed, I'd have laughed.

One whole week

We've had an entire week of Gabe going down in less than 5 minutes in an evening. A couple of nights he's barely made a peep, and one evening he didn't cry or complain at all. It's a bleedin miracle!

If we can keep this up for the next 15 years, I'll be a happy man.

A new year

2010 was fantastic for many reasons - a new member of our family, living in our own home for the first time together, and some opportunities at work that let me expand my skillset and horizons. It was also pretty sucky for a few reasons, not least of which was the constant colds and sickness we've all suffered with, especially Gabriel. Not getting to see the shuttle launch despite our best efforts was also a huge downer.

To start off the new year, Gabe has come down with some sort of vomiting/diarrhea bug. Fingers crossed this is the last major sicky he gets this year, it would be lovely to have him hale and hearty for a month or so.

This year could be great, and it could be terribly sucky. I think the impact of the global economy manipulation that all the major governments are colluding in could actually hit this year - keep an eye on the price of gold, if it continues to rise while the stock price rises it's a sign that things may go south very fast. As long as everyone keeps believing in the system it'll all be fine, I guess.

I hope everyone has a great year this year, and the "wanties" doesn't involve us all wanting for the basics of a decent quality of life!
