by Rainier on April 2, 2010 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under News

Glad April Fools' day is over! There were quite a few good jokes out there, and some were even funny. News was just a tad slower than usual, with people trying to avoid being confused for a possible practical joke or getting their thunder taken away by the loads of fake press releases.

The weekend is near, and "Clash of the Titans" is opening nationwide. The plan is to see it early Saturday morning, hopefully beating any sort of crowd that's flocking to the 3D theater. We're very excited!
