No concerts this weekend, so if we're good, we'll probably get some time to catch up on a variety of things. Then again, we might just end up doing nothing at all. Got to love weekends!
Last night we watched Psych and
Leap Year, a romantic comedy that was better than expected. Tonight we'll probably watch
Legion and
Fanboys, while a trip to the theater might result in finally catching
Salt. Lots of movie goodness going on around here.
Of course, there will also be plenty of CrimeCraft, StarCraft II and some APB, which I've been neglecting lately.

Torchlight II! Excellent! While it's not yet the promised MMO version with the added co-op multiplayer, it is one step closer.
We haven't been doing much TV watching lately. We did, however, watch Hell's Kitchen last night, as we're trying to re-arrange our sleeping schedule a bit. We've been feeling the backlash in our aging bones for all those late nights over the past few years, so we'll see how that turns out.
No concerts this weekend, although later this month, we are going to go see Slash, famed Guns N' Roses guitarist.
