The weekend flew by again. Why can't it drag on like the work week usually does? Luckily, the weather was quite good, and it only started raining this morning.
Was a relaxing day yesterday with lots of food (dim sum with some friends in the morning, lamb stew for dinner), some gaming (DC Universe Online, Stronghold Kingdom) and lots of TV watching (Knight & Day, Blue Bloods, Bones and Fringe). No, I didn't get around to fixing my PC yet, but I looked at it a few times. I'm getting warmed up!
For all you forgetful folks out there, today is Valentine's Day, so put down the controller and do/get something nice for your wife, fiancée, girlfriend or mother.

Wonder what is all going on over at Activision. It's dropping various franchises and closing half a dozen development studios — several of which they acquired only a two years ago. The Guitar Hero titles losing their appeal should not have come as a surprise; I thought it would have happened sooner since they were milking the franchise and putting out titles like there was no tomorrow. There hasn't been a good Tony Hawk title in a while, either, and it's no wonder that the investment in the Ride skateboard peripheral is also being questioned. Now, on to milking the Call Of Duty franchise!
This weekend, we're going to go see
The Social Network or
The King's Speech, just to catch up on some Oscar-nominated movies, have dim sum with friends, run some errands, and, if all goes well, finish building my PC. I've done some preliminary tinkering when our inet service was down earlier this week, so I have a head start!
