Yesterday was a bit of an odd day. We hauled furniture twice (once moving it out of the way, and then back in place), did some groceries/errands. some early holiday gift shopping, watched The Walking Dead,
Harvey, and Smallville. All the lugging around made us hungry in the afternoon, which inevitably led to the fact we were not feeling like eating around dinner time. We sat down to dinner at the stroke of midnight instead.
We have nothing specific on the agenda for today, so we've settled on watching Tony Scott's train wreck of a movie
Unstoppable (featuring
Denzel Washington and
Chris Pine, the new Cpt. Kirk).

It was a rather uneventful day. Apart from working and further tidying up the place for the carpet cleaning later today, not a whole lot happened.
Gran Turismo 5 is finally going to make it to PS3s, a few years after it was initially planned as a platform launch title. With a few years of extra polishing, it should be a rather good title, right ? We'll find out soon enough.
We watched Glee, Hell's Kitchen, Psych and Burn Notice, and maybe later this weekend, we'll see either
Unstoppable or
Due Date.

Rock of Ages is a game of fast-paced strategy, high art... and gigantic boulders of doom. Two castles stand opposed, bridged by an uneven, narrow pathway. One is yours, the other is your enemy's, and their crappy crenelations are driving down your property values, justification enough to try crush it using an enormous rolling stone.
