A late start today, and a short day as we're meeting up with an out-of-town friend we haven't seen in months. He was supposed to arrive last night, but a delayed flight resulted in a missed connecting flight and a midnight arrival. Ouch ...
With Dead Space 2 and Magicka in stores now, I'll be checking out both titles on the PC. I've been looking forward to the latter for quite a while, as it's been delayed a few times.
Last night, we watched The Cape, Hawaii Five-0, Kitchen Nightmares and some Australian Open. Good times!

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.
