The weekend was quite fun with friends stopping by for a new year's visit, lots of food, an equal amount of relaxing, watching movies (Super Size Me and Easy A), playing some video games and just lounging about.

Quite a bit of alcohol consumed over the past few days, and while we'll be on bread & water for the rest of the week, next weekend our friend Paul is flying in from Wisconsin, whom we haven't seen in quite a few months. He also happens to be a beer fan. Trouble ahead!

Next weekend, we may see Season of the Witch or The Green Hornet, or maybe both. Not quite sure yet.
