The weather has cooled down considerably yesterday, so we didn't feel so bad about staying in and hunkering down in front of the TV. Watched some Justified and Bones, tested our brand-new vacuum cleaner (awesome!) and played a whole lot of Vindictus. I also managed to play through Medal of Honor, and while it's somewhat short, the experience turned out to be quite pleasant, including the rather touching ending.
We ran some errands but didn't get around to checking on a wireless router for our AppleTV gizmo, so we'll have to take care of that later today.
