Looking forward to the weekend already, not only because I might actually get to sleep a bit, but mostly because we are finally going to the Journey/Foreigner/Night Ranger concert. We got our tickets way back in March, and back then, the concert seemed so far away, but it's only a few days out now ...
In a few weeks, we're also going to the Judas Priest farewell concert. After many decades, they are finally calling it quits as a band, but I suspect that lead singer Rob Halford will carry on with one of his spinoff bands like Fight or Halford.
Oh, and we just got free tickets to watch
Red Tails! It's going to be an awesome weekend!

I'm not quite sure what's all going on over at Netflix. The once-promising and -lucrative company seems to be flailing about, making stupid decision after stupid decision.
First there was the price hike that caused its subscribers to drop significantly, followed by the splitting up of the business into two entities (DVD and streaming), which would require you to log into two Web sites and have two separate accounts. Today, however,
CEO Reed Hastings saw the light and realized this wasn't exactly a good idea, so Qwikster has been shelved, and everything is back under one umbrella.
Makes you wonder what they're going to pull out of their hat next.
