A late start yesterday — AKA sleep — made for quite a busy day. Catching up on things while staying on top of the new stuff is quite a hassle.
Tomorrow is finally BBQ time, the one that was canceled a few days ago, so I'll be saving myself all day to pack it away in the evening. We'll bring a few bottles of wine for smooth sailing, so a good time should be had by all.
The fall TV season has fully kicked in, and the new DVR is being put to the test as we watched episodes of "Entourage," "House," "NCIS: Los Angeles" and "Sons of Anarchy," and that's only a fraction of what we've recorded this week.
I picked up the new Alice in Chains and Megadeth albums, so I'll be checking those out in a bit, some hard rockin' music is always good for staying awake in the middle of the night.
