Not quite sure why yesterday was such a slow news day. Maybe people were traveling back from the Tokyo Game Show, or maybe everybody collectively decided to take the day off.
Either way, it got me some extra time with CrimeCraft, and I also watched "NCIS: Los Angeles," which wasn't as good as the pilot episode from a few months ago, so hopefully it'll pick up.
Believe it or not, the wife and I played Boggle online through Steam, but damn, some of these people are good! The first bunch of people was easy to beat, but once we breezed through the early competitors, the advanced players really gave us a run for our money. It's a simple game, but definitely fun and addictive.
