The weekend is over and done with again, so it's back to the grind.
Even though the weather sucked, yesterday was a fun day. Due to the constant raining, we did not get to plant any of our bulbs for our spring flowers, but we got to play The Smurfs' Village (iPod) and Stronghold Kingdoms, and we watched The Walking Dead, Burn Notice, a few episodes of Hell's Kitchen and NCIS.
We might be housebound this week. There's some major construction work that's being done to our street, so we'll find out tomorrow AM if we can leave the place at all.

Yesterday was tiring: shopping with the ladies, walking into shop after shop at the outlet mall, and carrying bags. It was fun, but tiring. We spent so much time out and about that by the time we got back home, the grocery store had closed, so we had to order pizza for dinner.
Today will be less intensive as we plan on doing a whole lot of nothing, apart from some errands and laundry. It leaves plenty of time to watch some shows on the DVR and continue our streak from last night, when we checked out
Repo Men and an episode of Hell's Kitchen.
A special shout-out goes to Adam, as today is his birthday. He's officially old now. If you're not having fun today, it's not our fault either!

The new quad core is in the house! I'll be setting it up later today and then take it for a test drive. Got a few friends bugging me to try out Eve Online, which I haven't played since 2002 when it was still in beta, so this should be interesting.
We don't really have any big plans for this weekend. Some chores around the house, some shopping, errands and lots of DVR watching before things get out of hand again. Last night, we caught up on the latest Human Target and Chuck, which had lots of "Die Hard" references.
Where my turkey leftovers at!?
