We did most of our errands yesterday so that we can have the day all to ourselves. No specific plans beyond going out for breakfast and cooking dinner, so we'll see what we can come up with to entertain ourselves.
Something is afoot in the world of CrimeCraft. GMs have been abusing their power by kicking people out of the game "as a joke," and over the past year, some of their best players have gotten banned, and now it's my turn.
If you've been following me for the past year, you'll notice that I've been a staunch supporter of the game, but this is the second time I have been banned (the first time was cleared up the next day, so I didn't mention it) for what I considered to be BS reasons.
So far, several rival gangs have expressed similar frustrations, and a campaign to support my return is being staged, but if it's unsuccessful, adios CC (and with it, several of my high-level premium players who are equally fed up). Viva La Revolución!

Weekend again, and this one has special meaning since we are celebrating our eighth wedding anniversary! No super special plans, apart from a nice dinner, probably a movie and lots of smooching!
No hiking or concerts this weekend, so it should be nice and relaxing. Maybe i'll even get around to doing my long-overdue case and HD PVR projects.
Last night we watched some Burn Notice, and I also just received the first issue of the Kane & Lynch comic book.
