Man, was I tired today. For some reason, this weekend drained me, and all systems shut down this afternoon. I had to take a quick power nap. Before passing out, I wanted to play some CrimeCraft, but since the server was down for maintenance, I booted up Torchlight again, and that game sucked me in for hours again. Think I'll have to spend more time with it so I can properly level up my character.
Met up with one of our friends who recently moved out of state, and we of course had to re-celebrate the New Year with copious amounts of alcohol. *cheers*

It's our second day into the new year! Hope everybody had a safe transition from old to new. Here we are preparing for our annual belated New Year's Bash. A few friends are coming over for food & drinks, and discuss our good intentions for the coming year ... knowing that we'll most likely get none of them done.
Today we relaxed, did some shopping, prepping, and a feeble attempt at switching out a broken brake light, so a trip to the auto repair shop is on the schedule for later today.

Our Christmas trip is coming to an end, as later today we'll be flying back to home sweet home.
Today we went to the
Military Museum, which was
pretty cool, although it's a bit sad that the memorabilia, some of it dating back to WWI, hasn't been kept in better condition. Even a regular
coat of paint would do wonders for
some of the equipment that's on display, but all the
tanks, howitzers and even a
Huey helicopter were a sight to behold.
To kill some extra time, we watched some
Bill Engvall stand-up specials and
Pineapple Express.
