The weekend has flown by in a hurry again, and we didn't even have all that much planned. A relaxing Sunday with lots of Dexter watching, Global Agenda, Titan Quest, and some Bejeweled 2.
I'm still shocked and surprised at how much vacuum cleaners cost. We've had this upright model for about a decade, but I never liked it, so we went shopping around for the canister version. It's a vacuum cleaner, for crying out loud! Every household has at least one, and it doesn't get much more common than that. So why the hell are these things $300 and more? Luckily we managed to get 25% off, but it still rang up as $450. Ridiculous!

So stuffed from last night's dinner! We started off with potato leek soup,
foie gras (both seared and terrine version), duck breast, rib eye, all washed down with a few glasses of wine, topped off with coffee and
profiteroles. No, we usually don't wine and dine ourselves this way, but this was a special occasion, so a little excess was in order.
We got all our groceries for the week, watched some more Southland, Bones and Supernatural, so tomorrow we can dig into Dexter and Leverage.

Yesterday we finally managed to see
Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D, which, unlike big-budget titles like Clash of The Titans, was actually filmed in 3D from the get-go and not tacked on afterward. While it wasn't as visually impressive as Avatar, it was quite good, and the fight scenes were intense. There were also loads of video game references such as Chris and Claire Redfield teaming up, a Jill Valentine cameo, axe man (damn that's a big hammer), mutant dogs and so forth. So far,
Paul W.S. Anderson has been doing a good job. While none of the RE movies are going to win Oscars by any stretch of the imagination, they are quite entertaining.
Been playing some Global Agenda and finally starting to enjoy it. I used to have graphical issues with the game (actually with several of the Unreal Engine 3 games), but something must have gotten fixed 'cause lately, the problem has disappeared.
