Watching from afar

Nic and I just watched Discovery STS 133 launch on a really short window (2 seconds left). What a fantastic piece of technology, what a fantastic view of the launch and what an amazing process involved to get the bird into space.

I'm totally gutted that we didn't get to see it launch from the causeway - I'll be mounting the tickets and putting them up on the wall somewhere, as that's our only link to how close we came to watching it live.

Good luck to you, Discovery crew.

Legends

LoL has sucked me in, somewhat. Halfway to 30 now, enjoying playing a game competitively again. SC2 just freaks me out too much to play properly competitively - at least with LoL there's other folks to rely on to carry the game.

Gabe is so close to walking properly - he keeps taking a couple of steps then dropping to the floor. What a lazy boy.

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.
