By the time you read this, I'll be musing with friends over a stack of beers and buffalo wings, the perfect ending to a very relaxing weekend!
Our hiking friends did not show up as expected, so no surprise there. We spent most of our day in the couch watching the last few episodes of Flashpoint's first season, and the finale was excellent. If you haven't seen the series yet, I highly recommend it. We also watched
Stardust with Robert De Niro as a gay pirate (I kid you not) and while it may all sound a bit flimsy, the movie is way better than what you'd expect.
Gaming-wise, I played some more CrimeCraft and got to level up that character. Played a bit of LittleBigPlanet PSP and briefly checked out Fairytale Fights, which had some odd controls that take some getting used to, but it's not too shabby.

What a perfectly good lazy day it was yesterday. With our early start, we got a lot of nothing done,. We ran some errands, and apart from that, a lovely nothing. Played some Crimecraft, of course, and some Borderlands; we also watched Bones, Supernatural and NCIS.
Today, the plan is to go for a hike, but our flaky friends seem to be MIA, so not sure if that's still going to happen or not. I wouldn't be adverse to another lazy day.
Going to do some work, and then off to sleep I go.
