That was a pretty quiet news day. I guess some parts of the globe were still kicking back on Easter Monday, which gave me some time to play some more APB Reloaded. I can't quite put my finger on it yet, but the game plays a lot better than it did before. Whether it's improved vehicle control, physics or tighter combat, I'm liking it!

Ah man, so much food and so much eating yesterday. We had a huge honey-glazed ham with various side dishes that kept us busy from lunch till dinner. I'm about to burst!

In between gorging myself, I played some APB Reloaded. I must admit that at first glance, not too much has changed from when Real Time Worlds ran the game. I'll have to play some more and check up on some of the details, but it was quite fun. I've also installed Rift (Trion's first MMORPG), so I'll be checking that out tomorrow.

We also watched Winter's Bone (didn't like it), Tangled (loved it), and the latest episode of Chuck. We had planned on watching the new HBO series Game Of Thrones, but with our bellies full, we decided to postpone that until tonight.

Today will be spent in the kitchen cooking up a feast for Easter, and no, we're not eating rabbit today. That would be sacrilegious; we'll reserve that for next week!

Once we are sufficiently stuffed with Honey Baked Ham, we're going to plop on the couch and watch some movies. Most likely, we'll pass out holding our bellies and cursing ourselves for eating too much.

It's a tough life ....
