Yesterday was yet another rainy and gloomy day, so we skipped the Chinese New Year parade. It's not really fun to watch while getting drenched.
Instead, we watched Kitchen Nightmares, Fringe, V and Supernatural, all nice and cozy on our couch. I'd like to think we came out ahead!
Checking up on new upcoming shows, we read that both The Event and Chuck might be coming to a close as viewership isn't good enough to keep them on the air. What's wrong with you people?! Go watch that stuff!
On the other hand, some of the new shows are equally questionable, like Prime Suspect, yet another attempt at "remaking" a British TV series. Are the executives that short-sighted that they don't remember failed British remakes such as Coupling and Life On Mars? If it's not the original, don't bother.

Wine, spaghetti, meatballs, The Social Network and sleep...
That pretty much summed up last night, and it was all pretty awesome.
This morning was spent watching YouTube clips of Gary Moore, who passed away
earlier this month. Saw some amazing performances like
Parisienne Walkway, an awesome solo on
Empty Rooms, an incredible cover version of
The Thrill Is Gone with BB King, a live performance of
Still Got The Blues (which made me tear up), and
a sizzling tribute to Jimi Hendrix's Red House.
Too bad Gary Moore was way more popular in Europe than in North America. A lot of people are missing out on unbelievable-sounding guitar work, which we'll never get to hear live again.
