The new quad core is in the house! I'll be setting it up later today and then take it for a test drive. Got a few friends bugging me to try out Eve Online, which I haven't played since 2002 when it was still in beta, so this should be interesting.
We don't really have any big plans for this weekend. Some chores around the house, some shopping, errands and lots of DVR watching before things get out of hand again. Last night, we caught up on the latest Human Target and Chuck, which had lots of "Die Hard" references.
Where my turkey leftovers at!?
