I'm stuffed full of food and beer, so the belly is very happy.
The week starts anew, with hopefully plenty of gaming goodness. With the run-up to the holidays, there are plenty of games still scheduled such as Dragon Age, Left 4 Dead 2 and a slew of others.
Not much else happened today. We watched a few more episodes of Flashpoint, which seems to have gotten better in story and production, so that's very promising for the series.

Did all you trick-or-treaters have a good time tonight? Hope your baskets are either full of delicious sugary goodness or empty (burp)!
We went to see Paranormal Activity, and as expected, it was Blair Witch-esque, with people chronicling their antics with plenty of shaky-cam pseudo-documentary footage. While the movie isn't bad at all, there were more laughs during the movie than actual scares, and the most interesting bit was the last 10 minutes. It puzzles me that the characters' first instinct isn't to turn on the light when something freaky happens but instead wander into the dark. If something is suspected of coming into your bedroom from outside, how about you close the door?
We have a full day ahead of us tomorrow. We're going out to the city to have dim sum with some friends, and later in the evening, we're having drinks with some other friends and hopefully plenty of buffalo wings. Cheers!
