Now that we're all still alive, I wonder how many people actually gave away all their earthly possessions. How awkward it must be now to ask for them back!
We had a relaxing day yesterday, did our usual errands, watched NCIS, The Good Wife, Bones, Castle (oh, the cliffhanger!) and
Robin Hood (with
Russell Crowe). We're still undecided on whether or not to see Pirates of the Caribbean, but there isn't really much else playing right now that we do want to see.
While the official open beta for APB isn't due until next week, you can "unofficially" sign up and start playing, so have at it!

Well the first day of construction was kind of aborted when it started raining cats and dogs. Kind of hard to be windowless when water comes flying inside, so the crew had to call it a day. With predictions of rain for the rest of the week, we're off to a bad start ...
A slew of games are going to be hitting the stores again today, and I'm particularly interested in
Fable III, finally back on the PC, and The Witcher II. When I played
Fable III a few months ago on a 3-D enabled machine, it was amazing. However, I think The Witcher II is going to trump it as the better title. Of course, the big title of the week (and possibly of the year) is L.A. Noire, which we've had for a few days, so keep an eye out for that review as well.
We felt particularly lazy today, so we just order pizza (
a combo of Maui Zaui and BBQ Chicken) and watched some NCIS (RIP Mike).

It was a great weekend, and for once it didn't feel like it passed by in a blink.
This week the window installers are supposed to get started on their work, so we've done some cleaning, moving things around, which of course leads to plenty of "oh wow, I didn't remember I had this" and "hey look what I found." But damn, if dust was worth money, we'd have struck gold!
Our DVR is looking a little slimmer, we managed to watch a few episodes of Castle, Chuch, NCIS, Blue Bloods, and Game Of Thrones (a dagger to the eye is brutal!)
