Our lazy Sunday was lazier than we even anticipated. How's that for achievement?
We had planned on watching some movies and TV series on the DVR and ended up sleeping in late and lounging around. We did watch Heroes (in our defense, it was a two-hour ep.) and then another nap, and bam, it was time for dinner. I guess we succeeded in our plan to do nothing. :)
Our site guru Ricky has rolled out a few updates over the weekend, adding our contest feature back into the mix, so we'll be running some game giveaways that have been on hold for a few months. He made a few tweaks to the screenshot galleries and a few back-end modifications. Up next is a change to how our review scores are displayed, and then on to the comments/forum. Yay!

After two previously failed attempts because the movie was sold out hours in advance, we finally managed to see Avatar in 3D tonight, and wow, it was impressive. The last time I saw anything in 3D, we were still sporting the idiotic-looking blue and red paper glasses. Tonight, we were rocking it with some normal glasses that looked like they came straight from the Blues Brothers.
No big plans for the weekend. The usual errands, some Army of Two: 40th Day, catching up on some TV shows and a DVD or two, while nodding off on the couch. Always fun ....
