Today was great, and we've done all what we've set out to do, which amounts to a grand total of ... nothing.
Well, OK, not "nothing" — we did run some errands and get groceries, but apart from that, all we did was cook, eat and watch a whole lot of TV. Oh, and we ate some delicious Maui Gold pineapple.
We watched another episode of
Flashpoint and
Girlfight, which was
Michelle Rodriguez's debut movie. It's an
avant la lettre, or precursor, to
Million Dollar Baby but less heavy. Then we wrapped it up with
Anvil! The Story of Anvil. It's an excellent and emotional documentary about the heavy metal band Anvil, who, despite being credited by the likes of Metallica, Anthrax and Slayer as an inspiration, have never made it to the big leagues. They're still together after 36 years and 13 albums, and the whole time, they've been working regular jobs and playing small gigs for a few dozen people. The documentary finally gave them the jumpstart that they've been craving all along, and they are now touring with the likes of AC/DC and Saxon.
Ahh, I'm getting all nostalgic again. \m/

In case you hadn't heard, the weekend has arrived!
We kicked it off in style with Sloppy Joes for dinner, watched Stargate Universe (I love the sound of the spaceship), NCIS, FlashForward, and Dollhouse.
Apart from doing some errands and groceries, there's nothing planned for this weekend so there's time for plenty of gaming mixed with a hike or walk around the lake. Leveling up my CrimeCraft gunsmith is what it's all about!
We got our Dragon Age review copy today, so maybe I'll get to check it out, but you'll still have to wait until the launch date for a verdict. Damn embargoes!
