MOTD
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.

Apologies for the late start, but I fell asleep while watching "The Road" and then woke up in the middle of the night with a piercing toothache. Not sure whether the two are related ...
This weekend, I'm going to try and find time to piece together my second PC. There are parts all over my office floor, and it's starting to get annoying because I have to shove them aside all the time. It's a good excuse as any to get it over with, I'd say. It'll take some doing, though, because I've noticed that most cases expect the motherboard to be on the right side, but this case, oddly, expects it to be on the left. Maybe I'll have to buy a new PC case ...
