It came as a rather pleasant surprise yesterday morning that it was actually a holiday, MLK Jr. Day, which then also explains why it was quiet on the news front.
On the other hand, it gave us plenty of time to catch up on some TV stuff, so we watched Human Target, QI, The Cape, and a few episodes of No Ordinary Family.
We also decided to try out Mad Men, since it has been receiving so much praise, but two episodes in, we can't understand why. We'll give it one more try, but unless some magic happens, I don't think we'll bother with it any further.

We pretty much did what we'd set out to do yesterday: nothing.
We watched NCIS, Mad Men, Smallville, Human Target and a stand-up comedy bit from Louis CK, which was totally hilarious and so, so politically incorrect.
While the holidays have been over, we finally finished off the last of our New Year's dinner leftovers, and tomorrow we will be stripping down the Christmas tree and bid it adieu.
Last night was also the
68th Annual Golden Globe Awards, and
The Social Network seems to be the big winner, so it'll be interesting to see how well it does at the Oscars.

Yesterday was a pretty quiet day. We managed to do a whole lot of nothing, just the way we like it, and it's pretty much the same thing that we have planned for today. We did visit some friends to celebrate their daughter's one-month celebration.
If we feel like it, we might make another attempt at seeing The Green Hornet, but we also have a few Netflix movies lying around,
Three Kingdoms and
True Romance. If all else fails, I've been jonesing to see the new TV series, The Cape.
