Yesterday, we went to the Chinese New Year Parade, and by golly, it didn't rain for the first time in years. The parade itself was kind of a mixed bag; while it was fun to watch, it wasn't really anything too exciting, either. There were too many commercial floats for all sorts of casinos, insurance companies, McDonald's and the like. Of course most of the fun was to be had afterward, during dinner and after a few beers.
Later today, we might go check out
Inglourious Basterds, which is available on DVD, but due to the long wait on Netflix, we have yet to see, and the local theater is having an encore showing in preparation for the Oscars.

If you haven't entered our contest yet, we're giving away five Xbox 360 (NTSC) copies of
Borderlands! If, for some reason, you have not picked it up yet,
roll the dice!
Once again, our plan to watch some TV was foiled. Our neighbor came over to chitchat and left three hours later. We hadn't even had dinner at that point, so there no more time to be couch potatoes. Luckily, only NCIS and The Good Wife were on tonight, so we'll have to squeeze them in over the weekend. Cancel all plans!

Hello World!
The weekend is over, so are you ready for another week of gaming goodness? I know I'm not! :)
We had good intentions yesterday, fully prepared to get some exercise, enjoy the good weather and make a run around the lake, but we got a sudden unexpected case of the lazies. Instead, we watched a Bones episode we missed earlier in the season and How I Met Your Mother. Apart from that, our weekend was filled with gaming (CrimeCraft and Zuma's Revenge) and napping. It was awesome. :)

How about
Capcom's Tesla giveaway? That's quite a prize, if you ask me. It's sure worth entering on the off chance you might get lucky.
In case you are totally puzzled by today's quote, it is a line from the latest episode of Castle. It's probably the best in the series yet, full of humor and plot twists.
The heavens opened up big time today, and it has poured most of the day, probably as much in a few hours as it has rained this entire year, and the forecast says it will be like this for a few more days.
We have a pretty busy day ahead of us, as somehow we're going to have to figure out how to attend three press events at the same time. Should be interesting ....
