Most of yesterday was spent inside. We had lots of watching to do, with Bones, The Event and a few episodes of Blue Bloods. Afterward, we saw
Your Highness, which turned out to be quite good and also surprisingly filled with raunchy adult humor. Right up our alley!
Later today, we are heading out for a pre-birthday breakfast with some friends, as tomorrow, our most beloved editor Judy is putting on the party hat. Since the festivities are set for Monday, expect a slow news day. We're not doing much else but watching some more shows on the DVR, playing video games, and hopefully finding a good deal on a new graphics card.
On Monday evening, we're heading out to see Queens Of The Stone Age!

It's official: E3 is approaching. Today, I got my first request to book an appointment. This also means the time I dread the most is coming up — checking on travel plans, booking a hotel, making schedules and all that fun stuff. I hate it ...
The weekend plans are pretty thin, but later today, we are going to see
Your Highness, so hopefully that will be entertaining. While we are in that area, we'll check out Best Buy for a new gfx card.
Since we have been playing Battlefield Play4Free the past few days, we decided to dig up Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142. The latter's Titan mode is as much of a blast as it was five years ago.
