I don't mind slower news days like yesterday; they give me a chance to catch up on stuff, like playing some CrimeCraft and watching episodes of Smallville and Criminal Minds. Because of last week's Thanksgiving holiday, there weren't many new shows on TV, so at least the list didn't get any longer. We also caught up on the rest of Glee and watched another episode of The Good Wife.
My Laser Light Guns arrived from Hong Kong, but unfortunately I cannot yet check them out since I have no games that work with it yet. They are in working order, so tomorrow, I shall bug various publishers to send me a few extra copies so I can start firing away!
