The weekend has flown by in a hurry again, and we didn't even have all that much planned. A relaxing Sunday with lots of Dexter watching, Global Agenda, Titan Quest, and some Bejeweled 2.
I'm still shocked and surprised at how much vacuum cleaners cost. We've had this upright model for about a decade, but I never liked it, so we went shopping around for the canister version. It's a vacuum cleaner, for crying out loud! Every household has at least one, and it doesn't get much more common than that. So why the hell are these things $300 and more? Luckily we managed to get 25% off, but it still rang up as $450. Ridiculous!

So stuffed from last night's dinner! We started off with potato leek soup,
foie gras (both seared and terrine version), duck breast, rib eye, all washed down with a few glasses of wine, topped off with coffee and
profiteroles. No, we usually don't wine and dine ourselves this way, but this was a special occasion, so a little excess was in order.
We got all our groceries for the week, watched some more Southland, Bones and Supernatural, so tomorrow we can dig into Dexter and Leverage.
