All Right, Sweethearts, What Are You Waiting For? Breakfast In Bed? Another Glorious Day In The Corps!

by Rainier on Jan. 24, 2010 @ 12:00 a.m. PST | Filed under MOTD

Yesterday was a bit of a letdown. Our trip to the Chabot Space & Science Center was a little disappointing since it was mainly an outing for parents to take their kids and learn about space/evolution. The place was filled with screaming and running 8-year-olds, and while that in itself wouldn't have been any issue, the telescope was not operational due to overcast weather, so we did not get to see much apart from a 45-minute IMAX movie about dinosaurs. Yawn. The center itself is located on a hill, which gave us an amazing view of the area, so that kind of made up for it.

We did manage to get our DVR replaced, so hopefully the skipping and crashing will be a thing of the past. Too bad there were still a few shows on the old one that we hadn't watched yet.

Do I Laugh Now, Or Wait 'til It Gets Funny?

This week sort of flew by. It must be due to all the Australian Open tennis we've been watching, but now that our favorite got booted out of the tournament by playing a stinker of a match, things should ease up again.

We've had a quiet evening in front of the TV. We watched Bones, Fringe and Castle, complemented with some Mass Effect 2, Gyromancer and Crimecraft. Later today, we might go to the Chabot Space & Science Center, but it will all depend on the weather. Can't exactly go star-gazing when it's cloudy and raining cats & dogs.
