I Mind My Own Business, I Bother Nobody, And What Do I Get? Trouble!

by Rainier on April 25, 2011 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

Ah man, so much food and so much eating yesterday. We had a huge honey-glazed ham with various side dishes that kept us busy from lunch till dinner. I'm about to burst!

In between gorging myself, I played some APB Reloaded. I must admit that at first glance, not too much has changed from when Real Time Worlds ran the game. I'll have to play some more and check up on some of the details, but it was quite fun. I've also installed Rift (Trion's first MMORPG), so I'll be checking that out tomorrow.

We also watched Winter's Bone (didn't like it), Tangled (loved it), and the latest episode of Chuck. We had planned on watching the new HBO series Game Of Thrones, but with our bellies full, we decided to postpone that until tonight.

Today will be spent in the kitchen cooking up a feast for Easter, and no, we're not eating rabbit today. That would be sacrilegious; we'll reserve that for next week!

Once we are sufficiently stuffed with Honey Baked Ham, we're going to plop on the couch and watch some movies. Most likely, we'll pass out holding our bellies and cursing ourselves for eating too much.

It's a tough life ....

What A Story, Everything But The Bloodhounds Snappin' At Her Rear End

Later today, we'll be tossing up a new contest to give away a few hundred Age of Empires Online beta codes. Keep an eye out if that sounds like something you might want to check out.

Going to do some research on a new gfx card later today and see what's good and decently priced. Maybe I'll finally have time to piece together that Quad Core sitting in the middle of my office so I can stop tripping over it.

Hope everybody is having a nice Easter weekend!
