Sorry for the late start. A nap lasted longer than expected, and with the Australian Open airing in the middle of the night, the schedule has been thrown off a bit.
The weekend was great, with lots of good food, spectacular views, and lots of TV watching.
Haven't caught "The Green Hornet" yet, but we might see that in a few days, or perhaps we'll save our efforts for Your Highness. In the meantime, we watched Chuck, NCIS, Brotherhood, and
Pirate Radio (lots of awesome classic rock music).
A lot of new titles are scheduled for March, but tomorrow, we'll get a chance to play Dead Space 2, and I truly enjoyed the first installment, so I'll check out the PC version at the first opportunity.

Yesterday was a fun day. We've been hanging out with Ricky, our webdev guru, and our second restaurant visit on Dine About Town was awesome. The view of the Pacific Ocean was nice, and the sea was a little less rough than we had hoped, but spectacular nonetheless.
While holding our fat bellies of food, we watched some old episodes of Top Gear, QI, and got caught up on a few weeks worth of The Event.
Later today, we are dropping Ricky off at the airport, but not before we stop at In & Out for an early lunch, animal style!

Our first outing for this year's Dine About Town was successful. We went to a nice French restaurant and had a great time and excellent food. Later today we're going on our second excursion, and while we usually go out for dinner, we'll be having a late lunch instead because the place we're going to is set on a cliff with an amazing view of the Pacific Ocean.
When we weren't gorging ourselves yesterday, we watched a few episodes of
Jekyll, a British miniseries about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and some Australian Open where our favorite Kim Clijsters has moved on to the final 16.
