i m no longer a virgin!

my first kill... :p not solo, in a grp, but still a kill nevertheless hhahah

we were gate camping when he appeared in the gate and got bubbled. my Crow stopped its lazy orbit around the gate and quickly moved in to pepper the red with faction missiles. After he popped, i attempted to lock the pod but couldn't. (can't remember why) but nevertheless he got podded too. It all happened in a flash so i can but catch only a few glimpse of what happened. More often than not though, you only notice the flashing red in your overview, the name of the ship, the owner in the local channel and your flashing modules. oh also the range to the target so you knwo when to activate your modules.
Rarely do you get a chance to look @ your pew pew and the enemy ship... but great fun nevertheless :D

but before my romp around EVE-O is done i did a very facepalm thing (if you don't know what that means, it means basically something u do that is so D-UH that u slap the palm of yr hand to your forehead :X)
we were tracking this red between a few systems and bubbling up the gates whilst trying to flush him out. By that time it was rather late and i doubt Comet could hold in his pee+poop any longer. So i decided to head to the nearest station and dock up. Little did i know when i went to that station, i noticed him on scan. (i had warped to 100km from the station as i tot he might do that and lo and behold, he was @ the station).
Now a few things happened @ once...
a) i tracked him, tried to move twds him whilst activating my MWD
b) i typed into the fleet chat "he's @ station!"
c) some of the fleet members chimed "what? he's docked up?"
d) at this time i was still flying towards him when he disappeared from my overview
e) to which i then typed "he's docked up". Because...well... that's what i thought had happened...
f) my mistake caused a few of the fleet members to warp to the station
g) this allowed the red (who is in a shuttle btw) a little window from which to escape and fly home safely.

*FACEPALM*
~sigh~... lessons learnt:
1) don't panic when seeing the enemy, calm down, run through the SOP (standard operating procedures), i.e. target, MWD, zoom to view ship, inform fleet.
2) talk more into comms for faster conveying of information
3) be sure of the whereabouts of the red before reporting

you would think...

that the editors would have chosen a less face that does not seem to suggest "HA HA... i got away with millions!"

*faint*

All about a dog

so we watched Quill yesterday and it was a good show to watch. Even Comet at certain points of the movie was starring @ the tv as if the labbie on it was a real dog to him. The show sure tugged at our heartstrings especially since we are dog owners ourselves. Wifey mentioned that the show seems to have a sad note throughout the entire duration of the show and made us remember the high points with Comet. We sure hope that he learns some obedience from Quill. Overall the movie left us with feel-good-feelings for Comet :p





then the next day he will do silly stuff like lunge while we are walking him, try to bite us or generally being a twit.. and all the feel-good-feelings have evaporated


twit...

our silly lovable twit :p
and thats

well that's that

so what's been happening?

well quite a bit. we r busy hosting people at our place (very fun and helps us to have motivation to keep the place clean. otherwise its like "Attack of the Furballs" here...) and generally enjoying our lives together, the pup, tv shows, games and movies.

Place wise we pretty much settled into a comfortable routine of cooking, cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping etc. We shall soon try to put in swimming and maybe gym into the mix :) but between all the tv shows, movies, blu-rays, games and dog, not sure if we have much time left! I so need more than 24 hrs a day :p

Dog wise, we got the e-colllar which administers a little jolt (setting is from 0 to 127 and currently he's hovering from 15 to 40) to our pup to "get his attention" and hopefully make him more aware of what we require from him. Walking him now is much more controllable though i hope he doesn't go berserk from us trying to make him pay attention. We r thinking of neutering him come Feb/March... not sure yet... anyone's got a female huskie that wants to make with Comet? HEEE HEEE HEEE
Oh we had an interesting conversation with a fren on the type of dog and desposition/nature of dog he is intending to get together with his fiancee. Hope they manage to come to a mutually acceptable conclusion!

Movies and TV shows. Now we still have some blu-rays we havent even opened from the wrapping yet. Plus our Gramophone subscription is still active for maybe a month or so and of course wifey is now hooked on "Dancing with the Stars". so plenty there to entertain us for months to come! What blu-ray to get next? hmmmm i m not sure.... let me visit Mr Amazon....

Guitar Hero we pretty much covered all the gigs there is to play, mostly at Medium setting.. not sure if we are nimble enough to try hard! heheh my brain cant function with 5 guitar buttons to mash... but the silliest thing is my PS3 network doesn't have a GH shop where i can buy new songs from! :( so sad.....
Eve Online i am still pretty much active though i lost another Drake (named LSG III) whilst trying to get to my new 0.0 HQ. Luckily another corpmate gave me his cos he had a spare around so i m pretty much good again. Trying to work up enough standing for L4 missions meanwhile and maybe trying PVP in the future! Good luck to me!
Fallout3 still pretty slow moving.... need to have a better plan to tackle this... or i can just slowly play the game :) but i'm so itchy to wear power armor and i read i have to go further into the main storyline to be able to do so! :(

Workwise, its the start of 2009 and things still seem to be pending this and that (i.e. pretty much the same) since i went on my long leave in end dec 2008.

Hope things will pick up soon! :)

have fun y'all!
