Oh boy, we're in trouble! The new TV season started, and there are so many TV series that we want to follow that at certain points, there are three of them on at the same time. Luckily, the DVR can record two at the same time, and we can watch a third one live on TV, but damn, we'll have a lot of catching up to do during the weekend.
Tonight, we watched the two-hour premiere of "House" and the new season of "Castle." Both are off to a good start.
Speaking of "Castle," we're still waiting on Nathan Fillon's publicist to set up a time for us to conduct the
Halo 3: ODST-related interview, and while we were hoping to run it before the game's launch, that unfortunately no longer seems possible, since it just shipped. Hopefully soon, though.
Earlier today, I wanted to play some
CrimeCraft but got tied up compressing trailers, and since movie editing basically takes up all the CPU power, there was not much left to do. I think I need a third work computer just to play games — for research purposes, of course! :)
