Sorry for the late start. A nap lasted longer than expected, and with the Australian Open airing in the middle of the night, the schedule has been thrown off a bit.
The weekend was great, with lots of good food, spectacular views, and lots of TV watching.
Haven't caught "The Green Hornet" yet, but we might see that in a few days, or perhaps we'll save our efforts for Your Highness. In the meantime, we watched Chuck, NCIS, Brotherhood, and
Pirate Radio (lots of awesome classic rock music).
A lot of new titles are scheduled for March, but tomorrow, we'll get a chance to play Dead Space 2, and I truly enjoyed the first installment, so I'll check out the PC version at the first opportunity.

It's almost the weekend again! It can't get here soon enough. For some reason, I've been rather tired all week. Come to think of it, I haven't been in my groove since the holidays ended. Maybe I need a vacation ...
Tonight and tomorrow, we have dinner plans with a few friends, as we are participating in the annual dine about town, where we check out a few restaurants that offer their menus at a sharply reduced price.
Once we are sufficiently stuffed with food for two days, we might try to see The Green Hornet again. Speaking of watching, we checked out the newest episodes of House, Hawaii Five-0, No Ordinary Family, and Blue Bloods.
