Come on, You're Being Very Un-Dude

by Rainier on Nov. 22, 2010 @ 12:00 a.m. PST | Filed under MOTD

Mission accomplished. We did everything that we set out to do yesterday: run a few errands and watch TV. We're professionals, trained in the art of doing very little during the weekends. We watched Bones, Burn Notice, Chuck, Fringe, Hell's Kitchen, House and Human Target, mixed in with some Vindictus, Stronghold Kingdoms and our beloved Smurfs' Village on iPod.

This week will be a rather short one, as Thursday is Thanksgiving, so most places will shut down early on Wednesday and prepare to chow down on turkey. The in-laws will be in town, so we are in charge of the festivities.

More importantly, I'm going to be scoping out a few places on Black Friday to see if I can score myself a new gaming PC.

I'll Be Back In Ten Minutes, Loaded For Bear

by Rainier on Nov. 21, 2010 @ 12:00 a.m. PST | Filed under MOTD

We didn't really get much done yesterday. We went out to brunch with some friends and varnished our patio table. Shortly thereafter, it started raining like crazy, and I'm talking about rain coming down in buckets, with some hail, thunder and lightning thrown in for good measure. Somebody was having a party up there ...

Later in the evening, we went to dinner with a friend and watched Due Date, which was quite funny.

The plan for today? Quite simple: do some grocery shopping and watch a ton of shows on the DVR.

If I'd Known How Much You Talk, I'd Never Have Come Out Of My Coma

by Rainier on Nov. 20, 2010 @ 2:02 a.m. PST | Filed under MOTD

Another awesome concert in the bag! Bad Religion's 30th anniversary tour was a blast, and even both opening acts were half decent. The show was sold out and the crowd went wild from start to finish with a massive mosh pit spanning half of the concert hall. Good stuff! All that aside, 30 years is quite an achievement when you consider that most bands these days can't even stay together for a few years without having "creative differences."

Good thing it's the weekend, so my hearing has a few days to recover. Too bad for the people we're going out with tomorrow. Guess I'll just have to smile, nod and pretend that I can hear the discussion.
