There's A Cure For Everything Except Death

by Rainier on Oct. 17, 2010 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

The weather has cooled down considerably yesterday, so we didn't feel so bad about staying in and hunkering down in front of the TV. Watched some Justified and Bones, tested our brand-new vacuum cleaner (awesome!) and played a whole lot of Vindictus. I also managed to play through Medal of Honor, and while it's somewhat short, the experience turned out to be quite pleasant, including the rather touching ending.

We ran some errands but didn't get around to checking on a wireless router for our AppleTV gizmo, so we'll have to take care of that later today.

Later today, I'll be taking our spiffy new vacuum cleaner for a test drive and see how that thing performs. Oddly enough, I like vacuum cleaning and always have since I was a kid. No idea why ....

We're also going on the hunt for a wireless router so we can hook up the Apple TV box (barely bigger than an iPod) and see how Netflix streaming works on the HDTV.

Entertainment-wise, currently reading Killer Elite (history of the US Special Forces), we watched NCIS, Justified, and Hell's Kitchen while playing Vindictus and Super Scribblenauts (not as easy as we thought it would be).
