I Don't Think I Will Kiss You, Although You Need Kissing, Badly

by Rainier on Feb. 21, 2012 @ 12:00 a.m. PST | Filed under MOTD

Yesterday was quite the slow day, mainly because of Presidents' Day in the U.S., but it should pick up again today.

Unfortunately, I have to a quick visit at the dentist, but hopefully that won't take long. Every second spent in that cursed chair is a second too long.

We watched House, Fringe, The Good Wife, Comic Book Men (Kevin Smith series about his comic book store), Full Metal Jousting (damn, that looks like it hurts), and Two Broke Girls.

Going to give the PC version of Alan Wake a try later today and see what all the hubbub is all about. Maybe I'll even get around to finally checking out RAGE. I downloaded it but never fired it up.

Most importantly, though, tonight is the screening of Act of Valor. It had better not disappoint (*cough*Red Tails*cough*).
