By the time you read this, I'll be musing with friends over a stack of beers and buffalo wings, the perfect ending to a very relaxing weekend!
Our hiking friends did not show up as expected, so no surprise there. We spent most of our day in the couch watching the last few episodes of Flashpoint's first season, and the finale was excellent. If you haven't seen the series yet, I highly recommend it. We also watched
Stardust with Robert De Niro as a gay pirate (I kid you not) and while it may all sound a bit flimsy, the movie is way better than what you'd expect.
Gaming-wise, I played some more CrimeCraft and got to level up that character. Played a bit of LittleBigPlanet PSP and briefly checked out Fairytale Fights, which had some odd controls that take some getting used to, but it's not too shabby.

As if our sleep schedule weren't out of whack enough, we decided to go to sleep early and get a head start on the day, waking up at 6 a.m. Yea, we didn't mean THAT much of a head start, really.
Last night's episode of Stargate Universe was nothing spectacular, but next week's looks promising. So far, all of the new episodes have been set on the spaceship, while the new one seems off-world, albeit via a message of warning from their future selves. We also watched FlashForward, and the series has been surprisingly solid thus far, so let's just hope they don't get lost in their own intricacies, twists and turns, like Heroes and Lost have.
Next week sees the launch of what will probably be one of the biggest titles of the year, Modern Warfare 2. While PC gamers seem to have been given the shaft multiple times over, I'm still going to check it out, but I fully understand the frustration. Who would have thought that a developer who got big on the PC would backstab their most loyal fans this way?

After yesterday's slew of bad news, today was a tad better. While our DVR still seems to have issues recognizing new TV shows this week, CrimeCraft has settled down, and there hasn't been a single crash all day.
Last night's episode of Castle was great — one of the best ones yet. Fans of Nathan Fillion will no doubt have picked up on his Halloween attire being a tribute to Firefly. His daughter's comment was also awesome: "Didn't you wear that five years ago? Don't you think you should move on?" Luckily, one of the few shows the DVR did manage to pick up was the new Sons Of Anarchy, so I'm going to try and squeeze in that one later today.
