Why Don't You Kiss Her Instead Of Talking Her To Death

Wow, we sure did our share of walking this weekend. On Saturday, we did two miles, and yesterday, we went for a four-mile hike and then decided to walk to the concert hall for the Queensryche gig, another two miles. Bet we'll be feeling the result of the workout tomorrow. Achy legs!

Speaking of Queensryche, that was quite the odd concert. It was promoted as a cabaret, so while it was quite entertaining, it sure was different.

This week, we have a few more press junkets to attend (DJ Hero 2, Guitar Hero and Ubisoft Wii preview event), so we'll have plenty of goodies to show and tell you about.
