Ahh weekend, it's the greatest. There's nothing better than being able to sleep in after a long week of work and insufficient shuteye.
Was watching the latest episode of "Psych," but unfortunately my eyelids were heavier than expected and I dozed off multiple times, on our most comfortable couch ... *snort* *drool* Guess we'll have to resume after breakfast.
Yesterday, we were playing some Guitar Hero: World Tour, and near the end I realized, why are people so surprised about the GH5/Kurt Cobain thing? Aside from the fact that Cobain is dead, there's no difference between him singing Bon Jovi's "You Give Live a Bad Name" or rapping Flav's latest junk and Ozzy Osbourne singing Los Lobos' "La Bamba."
Didn't people see this coming?
