The new digital camera I got for Christmas is fully charged, ready and waiting to snap tons of photos at the
Anvil concert tonight! Been listening to the latest album, "This is Thirteen," and there are quite a few songs on there that we dig.
We also got a news flash earlier this week that Faith No More is coming to town. Tickets going on sale tomorrow, so hopefully we can get score some tickets for that as well. Haven't seen FNM in a really long time, and they were one of my favorite bands back in their prime, so I'm really looking forward to that.

Not much time for watching stuff on the DVR last night, since we were invited to go to dinner with friends (and once again on Friday). We did manage to squeeze in the last two episodes of Dollhouse, the series finale (*sniff*), and it sure looks different from the rest of the series, much more like Terminator 4 or The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Yesterday was a fun day. Nothing special happened, but I guess I was just glad that my little ailment wasn't serious. I don't get sick very often, and if it happens, it mainly occurs early in the year, so I guess we got that all taken care of for 2010.
A quiet evening. Like many other people, we were awaiting the first ep. of the new season of Lost, but it sure was different, with loads of head-scratching moments so far. To lighten up the mood a bit, we also watched the
Axis of Evil Comedy Tour, and while it didn't bring us to tears, it was quite funny.
Oh yeah, and this weekend, we'll be rocking out at the
Anvil concert. \m/

Well, that was no fun. Our Internet connection has been down for hours, and a few earlier attempts to reset the link were futile, as it died again mere seconds later.
No Internet meant we had no distractions so we caught up on our TV watching. We made a good dent in our weekly backlog, as we managed to see Bones, Castle, Chuck, Heroes, Human Target, NCIS and started on Supernatural, but the Force was too strong and we dozed off. Nap time!
Tomorrow, we have a few errands to run, and maybe check out the Australian Open finale, but then we can get right back to being couch potatoes and finishing off whatever's left on the DVR.

Yesterday was a bit of a letdown. Our trip to the
Chabot Space & Science Center was a little disappointing since it was mainly an outing for parents to take their kids and learn about space/evolution. The place was filled with screaming and running 8-year-olds, and while that in itself wouldn't have been any issue, the telescope was not operational due to overcast weather, so we did not get to see much apart from a 45-minute IMAX movie about dinosaurs. Yawn. The center itself is located on a hill, which gave us an amazing view of the area, so that kind of made up for it.
We did manage to get our DVR replaced, so hopefully the skipping and crashing will be a thing of the past. Too bad there were still a few shows on the old one that we hadn't watched yet.
