I seem to be having an issue with my gaming rig. When I'm playing games, my screen sometimes freezes, goes black for a few seconds and then comes back like nothing happened. It sounds like a video card issue, and I think it the GeForce 250 may be randomly overheating, so I bought a roomier case. Hopefully that will fix the problem. If not, then I guess I'll try the Radeon 5870 that's lying around.
Not much else going on. We watched Burn Notice last night and finished up "2012." Later today, we may go for a hike.

The weekend is around the corner and Sunday is 4th of July around these parts, so we might get together with some friends and put some meat on the BBQ. Normally there is also a big fireworks show, but the event has been canceled this year. Our dear mayor has been squandering the city's funds, so things had to be cut all over the place.
No other major plans, apart from going to watch a movie (maybe "The A-Team") and the good intention of catching up on some press kits.

My hearing is slowly coming back after last night's Iron Maiden sonic fest, probably right on time for next weekend's Danzig concert. Poor eardrums!
We finally got all caught up with 24 and watched the final episode of the series last night. We enjoyed it greatly. It was very powerful stuff and a perfect ending to wrap up everything — well, until the movie comes out. One last hurrah for Jack Bauer!
This week will probably be a bit slower than usual, with people recovering from E3 and all, so maybe I'll find some time to catch up on Smallville and Criminal Minds.

We just got home from the Iron Maiden concert, and it was quite good. The Maiden lads are getting quite old, but they still rock hard. The place was packed, and even Eddie made a cameo, although I remember him being more impressive back in the day. They played plenty of tracks from the early albums, a bunch from the more recent stuff, and even the title track, El Dorado, from the upcoming album The Final Frontier, which Bruce Dickinson mentioned several times is coming out Aug. 17.
Apart from rocking out, we watched some 24 yesterday, and we're in the final hour. Excellent stuff!
