The forces are working against us! We had nothing planned for tonight, so we were going to watch some TV, but I started to not feel well this afternoon, so that plan got ruined! Hopefully tomorrow it will be a little bit quiet in the afternoon so I can squeeze in an episode of Fringe and NCIS: LA (which I stopped following, but I have a backlog of episodes).
CrimeCraft servers were down today, so I checked out Borderlands for a bit, and I'm quite loving it. I wish the inventory/backpack was bigger, though. With gazillion of guns in the game, it would be nice to hold on to more dropped items to sell them, but so far, that's my only gripe.
