It looks like we may need to get our DVR fixed, or a replacement altogether. There have been a few TV shows we recorded that started skipping frames, and when you try to pause or fast-forward through the bad section, it gives all kinds of weird system errors. Hello Comcast, come and get your junk box, please!
We did not get as much watching done as we liked to, but we still managed to scratch Bones, Dollhouse and Heroes off our list, and we still have all day today to make a dent in our Netflix stash.

Hurray, another weekend! I've been looking forward to this all week.
Nothing too special planned for this weekend. We've got a lot of TV shows to catch up on, a few Netflix movies, and we also received
The Hurt Locker, which came out on DVD this week. We saw it a few months ago when it was in theaters and totally loved it.
I'm also a man on a mission. I've been playing CrimeCraft's social game Kingpin (iPhone/Facebook) and got beaten up repeatedly by a high level guy, so now I'm power-leveling, getting rep and crew so I can get some payback. What can I say? I'm a nerd, and I hold grudges.
