We're almost packed for our New York trip. We're leaving at the asscrack of dawn with a 6:15 AM flight. There's no point in going to bed, so we can sleep it off during the six-hour flight, which should be enough to last us the rest of the day since we arrive in the afternoon.

One of our items of the to-do agenda is going to a Cirque du Soleil show, which we've been meaning to attend for a while, so it should be a fun outing.

In the meantime, I've been playing Dead Island, and it's more fun than I had anticipated. I'm a little bit disappointed in the lack of zombie dismemberment. I seem to recall screens and trailers that showed more gore, but I'm enjoying the RPG element and the exploration of the environment.

I was going to check out Space Marine as well, but alas, there isn't enough time!
