Last night I went to TTAC3 for a quick and dirty CQB session and I have to say, it’s been a while since I’ve had so much fun. Absolutely no yelling on my part woo, all the players played well and there was a lot of pain to dish out (I have two bleeders on my forehead). Man I love the KWA MP7A1, it’s such an awesome gun indoors and it’s so much fun to shoot. I can see myself using this thing for mil sims when the outdoor season heats up, I just need a few more mags then I’m set.
Anyway yeah just wanted to say that I had a great game, I hope next week’s session is as much fun. =D

You have to admit, this is pretty damn cool. :D Perhaps first contact is right around the corner.
The release of a Hubble image taken on 29 January shows that this object, called P/2010 A2, is no normal comet. There’s a strange X-shape feature at its brightest end (I hesitate to call it a “nucleus”) that defies easy explanation. “This is quite different from the smooth dust envelopes of normal comets,” explains David Jewitt of the University of California at Los Angeles, who led the Hubble effort. The Hubble view also clearly shows a point-like object hovering nearby, about 1600 kilometres from the “X” and seemingly connected to it by a thread of material.

Stephen says it looks like the Vulcan Scout Ship and it actually does!

Ikea found and delivered my new mattress today so with that piece of the puzzle here, I finally had a reason to put the stuff together. Yes I only have drawers on one side of the bed, I didn’t have enough foresight to realize I’d need a second… Oh well next time I guess.
Don’t mind the mess, Maggie took a nap in the afternoon. I think it looks good, wasn’t difficult to put together (Ikea stuff is always easy) but damn this stuff is heavy! Ok ok, to be fair I didn’t put together the new chest but hey it’s for me and I can do that later right? ;-)
Anyway I’m just glad that the bed is together, looking forward to sleeping on it tonight.

Today Maggie and I went to get an ultrasound and man, it’s starting to hit me now what it means that she’s pregnant.
The ultrasound came out pretty well, you can tell that it’s a baby and not an alien. :D Colin is happy, everything is progressing as it should.

Over the weekend Maggie and I went to Ikea to pick up a new bedroom set and today I took delivery of the stuff. There’s just one small problem, missing is my new queen size mattress… Yeah I’m not impressed, I mean I know these things happen but it’s still frustrating none the less.
Now I’m on the phone waiting for customer service and have been on hold for over an hour. Fun stuff…
9:44 PM Edit: So after talking to the resolution department, they’re going to do an investigation and find out where the mattress went and will arrange for it to get to my place. Going to take two business days, the damn thing better be here by the weekend or I’m going to be super pissed.

Many thanks to Emily for “donating” her family’s old baby things. Man I knew a baby needed a lot of things but I was shocked at the amount of stuff that’s required. Anyway this will be a huge help, thanks again. :-)

Man I’m playing this Bubble Defense game on my BlackBerry and it’s damn addictive! Heh anyway back to gaming, never thought I’d be like this with phone games.

As some of you know, Maggie is pregnant with our first child and it’s been on my mind a lot recently (duh). I know it’s a lot of responsibility and I hope that I will rise to the occasion. Haha despite the ominous talk I’m actually quite happy about it and I think Maggie will be a great mother and I’m looking forward to the challenge. ;-)
Anyway not much of a post, I just wanted to speak my mind a bit…

Am I the only person who thinks this is crazy?
Huyer filed the complaint in June 2006 after two flights where she had asked flight staff to not serve nuts. On one, the flight attendant said she could get off the plane and take a later flight. She did. The next time, she stayed on board. When the attendant insisted on serving nuts, Huyer locked herself in the washroom for 40 minutes.

I feel for this woman for having a nut allergy but how is it fair that the rest of us have to suffer because of her allergy? I mean it’s not like the airlines or other passengers are force feeding her. Isn’t this infringing on my rights and the rights of everyone else? I wonder how many people who have nut allergies have died on flights…
People really need to start taking responsibility for their own lives.

As a Canadian I am appalled at Prime Minster Stephen Harper is proroguing the federal government yet again for its own political advantage. Just when the the committee on Afghan abuse can do some work they put a stop to everything. They wouldn’t want the truth of the matter to come out now, after all according to the Conservatives claim they knew nothing before 2007 even though a diplomat blew the whistle and Canada’s top general admitted it happened as well.
THE timing said everything. Stephen Harper, the prime minister, chose December 30th, the day five Canadians were killed in Afghanistan and when the public and the media were further distracted by the announcement of the country’s all-important Olympic ice-hockey team, to let his spokesman reveal that Parliament would remain closed until March 3rd, instead of returning as usual, after its Christmas break, in the last week of January.

Is it just me or does it feel like the PM is trying to sneak prorogation through? Sigh unfortunately Canadians have a very short political memory and we truly deserve the government that we have… If we paid a bit more attention we’d see that the so called Conservatives representing us are the same extreme Reform party of the 90s. Oh PM, btw how goes Senate reform? Yeah that’ll happen soon…
