The weather has cooled down considerably yesterday, so we didn't feel so bad about staying in and hunkering down in front of the TV. Watched some Justified and Bones, tested our brand-new vacuum cleaner (awesome!) and played a whole lot of Vindictus. I also managed to play through Medal of Honor, and while it's somewhat short, the experience turned out to be quite pleasant, including the rather touching ending.
We ran some errands but didn't get around to checking on a wireless router for our AppleTV gizmo, so we'll have to take care of that later today.

Later today, I'll be taking our spiffy new vacuum cleaner for a test drive and see how that thing performs. Oddly enough, I like vacuum cleaning and always have since I was a kid. No idea why ....
We're also going on the hunt for a wireless router so we can hook up the Apple TV box (barely bigger than an iPod) and see how Netflix streaming works on the HDTV.
Entertainment-wise, currently reading Killer Elite (history of the US Special Forces), we watched NCIS, Justified, and Hell's Kitchen while playing Vindictus and Super Scribblenauts (not as easy as we thought it would be).

The weekend is upon us! Yay! More time to do nothing. :)
Apart from us going out on a fancy dinner date tomorrow, we have no special plans, so you know what that means: DVR time! Last night we watched an old episode of Southland, two hours of Hell's Kitchen, and the latest episodes of Sons Of Anarchy, Chuck and Castle. Unfortunately, by the time we were done, three new episodes had recorded, so we'll settle for a small dent this time around. We've also been neglecting Dexter, the last DVD of season 3 has been lying around for a week or two, so we'll probably polish that off as well.
Music-wise, we been listening to Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (Beat The Devil's Tattoo is such a catchy tune) and Five Finger Deathpunch (preparing for the upcoming concert). Kind of disappointed that the "new" Soundgarden is nothing but a collection of old tracks, and I already had the "rare" ones ....
