It's almost the weekend again! It can't get here soon enough. For some reason, I've been rather tired all week. Come to think of it, I haven't been in my groove since the holidays ended. Maybe I need a vacation ...
Tonight and tomorrow, we have dinner plans with a few friends, as we are participating in the annual dine about town, where we check out a few restaurants that offer their menus at a sharply reduced price.
Once we are sufficiently stuffed with food for two days, we might try to see The Green Hornet again. Speaking of watching, we checked out the newest episodes of House, Hawaii Five-0, No Ordinary Family, and Blue Bloods.

We pretty much did what we'd set out to do yesterday: nothing.
We watched NCIS, Mad Men, Smallville, Human Target and a stand-up comedy bit from Louis CK, which was totally hilarious and so, so politically incorrect.
While the holidays have been over, we finally finished off the last of our New Year's dinner leftovers, and tomorrow we will be stripping down the Christmas tree and bid it adieu.
Last night was also the
68th Annual Golden Globe Awards, and
The Social Network seems to be the big winner, so it'll be interesting to see how well it does at the Oscars.

There was a disturbance in the force yesterday. As I attempted to write the MOTD, me eyelids got really heavy, and the very next thing I was engulfed in a darkness that didn't pass until this morning. It's the weirdest thing ....
Yesterday, we watched
Going The Distance, a romantic comedy with
Drew Barrymore and
Justin Long (the Mac guy), and since my wife and I did that a good decade ago, we enjoyed it greatly.
I also checked out the new trailers for the upcoming
Priest and
Battle: Los Angeles, both on our to-watch list for sure!
No major plans this weekend, apart from going to the movies (I'm sensing a theme here) tonight to see
The Green Hornet.
