My issues with the headset in CrimeCraft have been resolved. It turns out that it wasn't due to faulty equipment after all but rather PEBKAC, as running Ventrillo in adminstrator mode seems to fix the problem.

We did not get as much watching done as we wanted to yesterday — only two episodes of Lost. We ran some errands, took a nap, watched TV, and then it was time for dinner, after which we tried to watch some Chuck but promptly dozed off.

Let's try to better that today ...
