We're almost packed for our New York trip. We're leaving at the asscrack of dawn with a 6:15 AM flight. There's no point in going to bed, so we can sleep it off during the six-hour flight, which should be enough to last us the rest of the day since we arrive in the afternoon.
One of our items of the to-do agenda is going to a Cirque du Soleil show, which we've been meaning to attend for a while, so it should be a fun outing.
In the meantime, I've been playing Dead Island, and it's more fun than I had anticipated. I'm a little bit disappointed in the lack of zombie dismemberment. I seem to recall screens and trailers that showed more gore, but I'm enjoying the RPG element and the exploration of the environment.
I was going to check out Space Marine as well, but alas, there isn't enough time!

We ended up going to the movie theater and saw
Conan the Barbarian, which wasn't as bad as we expected.
Jason Momoa's aspirations that this movie would make him a household name aren't going to happen anytime soon, but we all had a fairly good time watching it, so not quite sure what all the negativity was about.
However, I'd rather have seen
Warrior again, so for people who need a little nudge to watch it, do it. For people who may have never heard of it but are into a good action movie, you won't be disappointed.
Today is a holiday, Labor Day, so coverage will probably be slow, and we're heading out to a BBQ for lunch! Yay!

Not much going on yesterday. The in-laws were visiting other friends and doing their thing, so I had the house to myself. This meant I got in more Deus Ex and plenty of APB Reloaded.
We had planned on seeing a movie in the evening but a case of the lazies befell us, so we decided to watch
Lincoln Lawyer and the latest episode of
Torchwood instead. We might go to the theater later today and check out
Conan the Barbarian,
Rise of the Planet of the Apes or
Colombiana, but it's anybody's guess.
The weather has been quite nice over the past few days, so we had a vanilla fudge Drumstick cone to top off a beautiful day.
