News will be rather quiet for the day, as it is Memorial Day in North America, and most businesses are closed. However, we'll be around to cover what's out there in between eating ribs, cornbread casserole and creme anglaise for dessert.
No dice on the movie watching yesterday. Maybe we'll have better luck — read less lazy — today. We did watch a few episodes of Hawaii Five-0 and brought down the DVR to 20%! Go team!
Our large-scale attack on our main enemy in Stronghold Kingdoms was a success. After 10 hours of constant attacks, one of the enemy's factions surrendered. Now we are working out a peace agreement for them to either support us in the Governor election or just join our house.

Most of our day was spent doing errands, cleaning up and going out to dinner (Outback gift card ftw!). Oh and a quick pit stop at Best Buy to get some new speakers, since I managed to vacuum clean up one of the wires from my old set after the window installers left. Mauled that thing!
We're debating about whether to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean or Bridesmaids, but one thing is for sure: Supernatural season finale!
I'll also need to keep an eye on my villages in Stronghold Kingdoms since our house has planned a major offensive that the game has never seen. It's a little contest among our factions (we've got about 10) to each send out 100 attacks to the enemy in one day. If you take into account that on a normal day, you send out about 30-40 for an entire House, we hope for a total of 1,000 attacks. Booya!

Not much on the books for this weekend, but we'll probably take a trip to the movie theater to see
The Hangover Part II. Should be a good time. :)
Watched some Chuck and Supernatural and played APB and Stronghold Kingdoms. We're on a mission to clear out the DVR, so more lying on the couch will be involved.
I was also going to check out Rift, but with the recent window installation, we still have a lot of our office stuff in boxes, and now I can't seem to find the game anymore. Probably put it in a "secure" place that's so safe I can't remember where I put it.
In the following days, we have an exciting contest coming up. We'll be giving away a few
OnLive game systems, so keep an eye out...
