Yesterday we watched the Tintin movie, and it was quite enjoyable. It's really amazing to see how far cartoons have come; the characters look so life-like that it's almost creepy. It pleased me that there were a lot of little hints and nods to iconic items from the comic book source material.
Our DVR also decided to see the light, as our recording schedule has finally caught up with upcoming airings, so hopefully, we won't missing anymore new episodes.
We caught up with the latest episode of "The Good Wife," which does a good job of keeping you interested with its cases, but also doesn't linger too long on the overall story arc.

I have no idea what we did yesterday. There was a little bit of this, a little bit of that, but apart from groceries, I have no clue as to what we did to make the day go by. I'm sure there was some The Old Republic involved, though ...
About to whip up some breakfast and then off to go see the
TinTin (or Kuifje) movie for a noon show.
I might just plop myself on my beanbag and lose myself in the dozens of comic books I brought with me from our Euro trip. I can think of worse ways to spend a Sunday...

Our plan to watch some shows on the DVR fell through. For some reason, it didn't record anything after the new year. Everything is in the "to record" schedule, it simply didn't trigger any of the new episodes. Tried to reboot it, but no dice either. Oh, Comcast!!!
Tomorrow, we might watch TinTin in 3-D. Since I was a childhood fan of the "Kuifke" comic books, I'm wondering how true it is to the source material.
That is, after I play some more The Old Republic ...
