Man, these weekends really ought to be longer. They are over way too quickly.

Not much was accomplished this weekend, but it was nice and relaxing.

We did not end up going to see The Adjustment Bureau, as our friend canceled on us, so we postponed it until later. Next weekend, however, we're SO going to go see Battle: L.A., I've been drooling over that movie for months now! We did watch some more Supernatural and a few episodes of Mr. Sunshine.

I also wanted to clarify that Dinner for Schmucks mentioned yesterday is a horrible movie, it was never high on our "to watch" list and now we know why. The boring, uninspired, snore-inducing moments WAY outnumbered the occasional chuckles.

Yesterday was a semi-quiet day, mostly spent on the couch watching "Dinner for Schmucks" and a few episodes of Supernatural. We did our weekly errands and groceries and then headed out to dinner with some friends at a nice French restaurant. Yay for tasty food!

Not quite sure what the schedule is for today. We are supposed to watch "The Adjustment Bureau" with a friend but haven't finalized those plans yet. We'll either see it by ourselves or stay home, and I'll use the downtime to make some more progress on putting together my new PC.

Or we may just end up on the couch watching TV and playing video games all day. It's anybody's guess. :)
