I didn’t do much yesterday… Certainly not much to celebrate Independance Day.
I slept in late… Played EVE for a while… Played WoW for a while…
I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that I was not at work, and that I really didn’t have anything that needed to be done.
I ran some more missions on Ephemeriis, finished up the intial 10-mission tutorial arc. Along the way I lost my first ship, but ultimately wound up with a better ship. I did some more mining on Olvel, I’m up to about 7 million ISK, and I’ve been slowly training towards a Retriever.
I’ve finally come to the conclusion that I need to get out of Todaki. Yeah, I know, you’d think that would have occured to me sooner, wouldn’t you? But I have, so far, been able to make plenty of money without leaving the newb zone. No pirates, little competition, plenty of ore. But that seems to be changing lately. Prices are going down and there are more people out mining the belts. I’m going to have to find some other place to do my mining.
The only problem is that I have absolutely no idea where to go. I’ve been taking a look around… Checking prices on the market screen… Looking at player populations… And I honestly have absolutely no idea where to go. Obviously I’ll just wind up trying a few different places at random to see how things work out… But once again, like when I was looking for a new agent, that 5,000 system starmap is simply intimidating.
But, today, we’re going to do something vaguely celebratory.
I’m fairly certain I’ve mentioned the AC on here before… Big, creepy resort out in the mountains that we support. They put on a fireworks display every year for the 4th and we’ve been trying to get out there to see it for years. But every time we get out there it winds up being cancelled or delayed or rescheduled or something. So, despite the fact that we’ve driven all the way out there more than once, we’ve never seen the fireworks.
Additionally, this year I’ve got a visitor’s pass to the club itself - which means Terri will finally get to look around inside and see some of the creepy places I’ve told her about. I’m not completely certain that we’ll be allowed up on the 4th floor… That’s where the really creepy stuff has happened… But I’m going to see what I can do.
It should be a very fun evening, to say the least. I’m certainly looking forward to it.
