Such a beautiful day it was yesterday, amazing. We watched some TV after breakfast, did some errands, checked out a new promising property but decided not to pursue any further due to the crime-ridden neighborhood, and then did some catch-up work. It was less than we had hoped for, but it was such a nice day that it couldn't be helped.
No movies at all, but we did get to watch The Amazing Race and might snag Date Night sometime this week at the small theater just down the street.
Dead Rising 2 will take the franchise to a new level of zombie-killing fun with tens of thousands of zombies, the all new gambling paradise of Fortune City to explore and conquer plus a host of new in-game objects that can all be used as deadly weapons to stave off the zombie assault.
Nathan Spencer returns as the daring elite soldier equipped with special bionic abilities. Spencer will have to face his greatest challenge yet as General Sabio, a new technologically sophisticated foe, is on the brink of launching a deadly missile attack.

Why is it such good weather when we have work to do? Catching up when it's bright, warm and sunny outside is not good for productivity. We need rain, cold, gloomy dark weather, stat!
We were debating about going to see
Date Night or
The Losers, but it's just too nice to be cooped up in a big room with a few hundred sweaty people, so we're going to do some work, go out, and then come back for some more work.
Last night, we watched All About Steve, a few episodes of
Flashforward and
Bones. It's kind of sad that Flashforward is not having the success is should. The initial ratings were superb, but after a lengthy delay between the first few episodes and its "spring debut," momentum was lost, and now it's on the verge of being canceled. For shame!
