It seems like we're not having much luck with airports this weekend. There were delays on Friday, and today, we dropped off Ricky in the morning after verifying that his flight status was "on time." However, his flight (and every other plane going that direction) got canceled later on due to high winds. We picked him up again, and we'll have to make another trip out there bright and early in the morning. What an ordeal!
With all the driving back and forth, that left little time for watching stuff on the DVR, but we did manage to watch House, Fringe, Stargate Universe, and
Takers.
Tomorrow, we'll be heading out early to see a musical. That's right, I'm expanding my cultural repertoire. :)

We just got back from our Kevin Smith show, and while it wasn't his typical Q&A gig that we have seen a few times on DVD (check it out, they are called "An Evening With Kevin Smith"), it was their
smodcast show, more of a panel discussion where they talk about all sorts of topics. It was funny as hell, but I was a tad disappointed because I had an awesome question to fire his way.
It's been raining cats & dogs over here for the past few days, so no excursions are planned, aside from some errands and loads of DVR watching.
Look for a new contest to kick off this week. We're going to be giving away thousands of Lord Of The Rings Online newbie keys to give "new" players a bunch of free items.

Last night was a bit busy due to a bunch of flights being delayed, so I had to wait for an extra hour at the airport for an incoming flight. It postponed all the other plans for the evening.
Midnight dinner, with a few glasses of wine resulted in falling asleep for the rest of the night, waking up at noon, going to see
Paul, which was quite entertaining. It was filled with loads of cursing, nerd humor and a weed-smoking alien.
Later tonight, we are going to go see Kevin Smith, so to sum it up, our day will be filled with nothing but profanity, just the way we like it!
