You Know For A Clownfish, He Really Isn't That Funny

by Rainier on July 18, 2011 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

As expected, yesterday turned into a lazy Sunday. We ran some errands and planned on watching a whole lot of TV, and we didn't even get around to that. We woke up late, watched women's World Cup soccer — someone needs to teach a few intricacies of defensive play to these women; they had it and gave it away ... twice! — and played Stronghold Kingdoms, APB Reloaded, The Witcher 2, and Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands.

Our big movie/DVR afternoon turned out to be weak, as we only managed to watch Burn Notice and half an episode of Leverage before I snoozed off.

From here on out, it's all about counting down to Captain America!

Can You Fly A Plane? I Can Certainly Try ...

by Rainier on July 17, 2011 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

Yesterday was quite a long day. The BBQ breakfast turned out to have more generous portions than we anticipated, so halfway through, we were already getting stuffed, but we endured. We were afraid that the weather wouldn't hold up for the game, but it did, and 7+ hours of baseball later, I'm a slight lobster-ish color even though it wasn't all that hot.

We'll see how I feel/look later today, as a hike might make me spontaneously combust at this point, and nobody wants to see that happen.

We watched Torchwood last night, and depending on our hiking plans, we might sneak in a few episodes of Spooks or even watch "The Tourist."
