Hey, look at that: a somewhat timely update to kick off the day. Feeling much better than last night, so I should be in the clear for the upcoming Thanksgiving festivities.
Is it just me, or are there way more video game sales going on than in previous years? It seems like every publisher, digital distribution place, or retail outlet is having some sort of sale going on. Of course, that's a good thing for people looking to pick up some bargains or titles they've been meaning to check out.
Didn't get to watch much last night. Scanned through a few episodes of Dancing With The Stars and my favorite new series, The Walking Dead.

Hmm think I might be coming down with something. I fell asleep while watching Chuck last night and went for a short nap but didn't wake up until morning. With my erratic sleeping patterns, I hardly sleep full nights, but when I do, it usually means I'm fighting off a cold or something. I guess the silver lining is that I usually heal while sleeping. (No, I'm not really bionic.)

We didn't really get much done yesterday. We went out to brunch with some friends and varnished our patio table. Shortly thereafter, it started raining like crazy, and I'm talking about rain coming down in buckets, with some hail, thunder and lightning thrown in for good measure. Somebody was having a party up there ...
Later in the evening, we went to dinner with a friend and watched
Due Date, which was quite funny.
The plan for today? Quite simple: do some grocery shopping and watch a ton of shows on the DVR.
