Yesterday was a beautiful day. It was nice and sunny with a light breeze — perfect BBQ weather. We went over to our friends' place for lunch, but we spent so much time there that it was dinner time again, but we were still stuffed and had peach cobbler a la mode instead.
This week will be another busy one, with an Activision event tomorrow for Transformers: War for Cybertron. The day after, 1C Company is having its annual gamers day, and Friday is a beer fest with some friends.

Yesterday was a bit of a boring day. The in-laws were out and about, and I was working and playing CrimeCraft, so not too much interesting was going on.
Nothing but sad news actually:
Gary Coleman passed away, as well as
Dennis Hopper, star of
Apocalypse Now,
Easy Rider and a slew of other hits. Hopper, 74, had been battling prostate cancer for a while, and pictures of recent public appearances had him looking like he already had one leg in the grave.

Memorial Day weekend, formerly known as
Decoration Day, commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service. It's also our excuse to troll The History Channel or A&E looking for war movies that we've seen a dozen times before.
Since we've already seen
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, the only other movie opening this weekend is
Sex and the City 2, but we'll pass on that. However, on Monday, some friends were wise enough to invite us to their BBQ, so I'm already looking forward to that. Cold beer and some steak — sounds like a plan to me!
