As expected, we didn't do a whole lot yesterday. The in-laws left way early in the morning since they have a long drive ahead of them to get home. We went back to bed and inevitably woke up in the early afternoon. We skipped our usual errands, and after cleaning up the place a little, we saw
Faster (with Dwayne Johnson AKA The Rock), which was an OK movie at best with a somewhat hasty ending (and a few plot holes).
After some leftover ribs, we tossed a few logs in the fireplace, plopped ourselves on the couch and watched The Good Wife and Human Target.
Our condolences to the friends and family of
Leslie Nielsen (84), known for
Airplane! and the
Naked Gun series; he died this weekend from complications from pneumonia while trying to fight a staph infection.

Yesterday was filled with a whole lot of doing nothing. We ate some more, took a nap, and played Fable III, Vindictus, Stronghold Kingdoms and Enslaved.
The in-laws are leaving in the morning, so they had to squeeze in a bunch of shopping really quick. Luckily, I was spared from the experience.
Nothing on the agenda for later today, apart from some errands, maybe tidying up the place, watching
Faster and undoubtedly catching up on stuff that the DVR recorded over the past few days.

So far, Black Friday has resulted in zero super deals, or at least in anything that we needed or wanted to buy. It's rather disappointing, but we still have today, tomorrow and, if all else fails, Cyber Monday to find a new PC.
After stuffing ourselves with turkey on Thursday, we did some more gorging last night with some awesome BBQ ribs, coleslaw, corn casserole and salad. We'll have to go on a week-long diet starting next week, unless we plan on looking like the Goodyear blimp.
The in-laws are leaving tomorrow, so maybe we'll get a chance to relax and see a movie. I'd like to check out
Skyline but haven't heard too many good things about it, so maybe we'll check out
Faster.
