It was a nice day out today: sunny, but with a nice breeze to keep everything nice and mellow. Then again, it never gets really cold out here. It can get rainy, but it rarely dips below freezing point, and it never snows. Yet we managed to stay inside most of the day. :)
After we ran a few errands, we saw Zombieland, which was quite funny, with a good dose of head-bashing and blood & guts. Apart from a 10-minute sappy segment in the middle, it was great from start to finish. We were a little skeptical about Law Abiding Citizen because the early reviews were not very favorable, but we ended up having a great time. It even startled us on a few occasions!
Since we had an early start on the day, we still had plenty of time left when we returned from the movies, so we caught up on the remaining episodes of Heroes, Smallville and The Amazing Race. The DVR is all cleaned out, so we're feeling triumphant!

Yesterday was a bust, again! I was looking forward to our boys-only excursion to the city for beer & BBQ, and while we were supposed to meet at 4pm-ish, I didn't get a call until 8pm and the entire plan changed to dinner and a movie.
Since we were planning to go to the movies on Sunday, I declined and instead we did some chores, groceries, played some Wolfenstein, watched Supernatural, a few episodes of Heroes, and FlashForward.
The plan of attack for today is to do some errands and watch Law Abiding Citizen and Zomebieland. Should be a good time!

And ... the weekend has arrived! Anybody else out there likes this part of the week best? :)
After stuffing ourselves with copious amounts of sushi, we plopped ourselves on the couch and watched the latest episodes of Psych and Stargate Universe. We couldn't force ourselves to watch the rest of Next Day Air, knowing we'd fall asleep out of boredom, so we skipped the movie and went straight to the nap instead. Solid plan all around!
Sadly enough, I have to report that tomorrow's scheduled drink-fest and BBQ gorging has been altered and is now just a drink-fest. You'd figure my friends would know by now how much I LOVE BBQ!
In the meantime, my better half will stay home and do chores while the boys and I hit town and turn into children. Sounds fair, right? :)
