We just got back from the Scorpions concert, and it was awesome. Good fun and good show! After 45 years, they are calling it quits. Since this was their farewell tour, they performed all their best songs like Blackout, Rock you Like a Hurricane, Big City Nights, Wind of Change, No One Like You, Dynamite and a slew of others. Oddly enough, they didn't sing Still Loving You. Wonder what the story is behind that one ...

Later today, we're going to a PopCap event and checking out something to do with Plants vs. Zombies. Nomz!

Mafia II immerses players in the mob underworld of a fictitious late 1940s-early 1950s scenario by fusing high-octane gunplay with white-knuckle driving and an engaging narrative.

Our plans last night to see Salt went up in flames, as our friend canceled on us because she was under the weather. Since we're going to see the Scorpions tonight, our trip to the theater will have to be postponed until next weekend. Instead, we stayed home, ordered Chinese food, and watched Invictus (Clint Eastwood movie with Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman).

In between CrimeCraft tournaments, which we have won for the past 3 weeks and counting, I have been playing a little bit of StarCraft II and must admit it has drawn me in. It's not the game itself but mainly the story and different characters. Good stuff ....

Our favorite days have arrived: the weekend!

We'll be running some errands today, maybe watch Angelina Jolie's new movie Salt, and a few other minor things during the day.

Yesterday, I finally managed to check out StarCraft II, but I'm only on the second mission, so it's a little bit early to give any kind of critique.
