Yesterday was a beautiful day. The weather hadn't been this great in weeks, so we ventured out a bit, did some shopping, and went out with friends for all-you-can-eat sushi (SO stuffed). We also saw The Other Guys (with Mark Wahlberg, Will Ferrell, also starring Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson) which turned out to be rather funny, even though we are not big Ferrell fans. To top it off, we also watched the pilot for Warehouse 13, a sci-fi series we've been meaning to check out. The trailers did not really do it justice, as it is better than we anticipated.

No special plans today, I foresee some walking, eating, and movie watching in our imminent future.

Last night, we saw the new Sylvester Stallone movie, The Expendables. With a cast like Sly, Jason Statham, Randy Couture, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Steve Austin and cameos by Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger, you'd figure the movie ought to be half decent. While it was not exactly bad, the movie didn't live up to the potential of the cast. Of course, you don't have to expect any interesting plot development, but the story didn't gel well, apart from some decent one-liners. If only the rest of the movie were as action-packed as the last 20 minutes, that could have saved it ....

Since I am still banned from playing CrimeCraft, I vowed to take the free time to switch my gaming rig into the new case. Now's the time!
