We All Want To Forget Something, So We Tell Stories

by Rainier on Oct. 3, 2010 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

We had quite the busy day yesterday. We had to make a postal run, stop by the FedEx office to ship off two huge packages, had a haircut, got our groceries for the week, watched Supernatural, two hours of Fringe and played a bit of Vindictus (waiting for the open beta content on the 13th), some Global Agenda and briefly checked out Dead Rising 2.

Later today, we're going to the Pixar exhibit, see Ben Affleck's "The Town," and then rush home to feast on some slow-cooked ribs, coleslaw and beans in tomato sauce. Tasty!

I Was Hiding Under Your Porch Because I Love You

by Rainier on Oct. 2, 2010 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

The weekend is off to a good start with four hours of Hell's Kitchen (my goodness, that Raj dude is a whack job!) and two hours of Sons Of Anarchy (good stuff). Maybe later, we'll scratch off a few more episodes (itching for some Fringe), so unlike our failed attempts of last week, we might actually make a dent in our backlog.

This weekend will also feature a cultural outing, as we are taking a trip to the local museum where they have a Pixar exhibit, so it shouldn't be too horrific.

I've been playing Darksiders and having fun with it, and I've also played some more Vindictus before they end the closed beta. I reached the level cap a little while ago, but mat farming is always fun, and we still gain points to upgrade skills.
