The weekend is over too quickly again! Why does this always happen? It's the weirdest thing.
I started fiddling around with my new gaming PC and have come to the conclusion that this is going to be harder than I'd anticipated. I was just going to upgrade the graphics card and swap out hard drives, but in order to do that, I'm going to need to also swap out power supplies, RAM, and who knows what else. Yup, there will be lots of cursing done before this project is over.
We planted our spring flower bulbs, went to our first Christmas party, and watched
Zombie Strippers (the name piqued interest, but man, what a horrendously bad flick) and a few episodes of
The Amazing Race.

The 2010 VGAs had quite a few interesting announcements being made: Forza 4, Insane,
Protoype 2,
SSX: Deadly Descents and
TES V. Very cool. Some of it's quite a few years out, but at least it gives us something to look forward to. Wonder what happened with the promised Gears Of War announcement. It was canceled at the last minute by Microsoft, so that must not have made CliffyB happy since he wasn't able to steal the show and all.
We got most of our chores done, and there are a few more to do tomorrow, but we also need to attend our first Christmas gathering and make some cupcakes in preparation. Should be fun.
We watched Bones, Burn Notice, Hell's Kitchen, Psych, and for tomorrow we have a few more things on the DVR,
