Wow, we sure did our share of walking this weekend. On Saturday, we did two miles, and yesterday, we went for a four-mile hike and then decided to walk to the concert hall for the
Queensryche gig, another two miles. Bet we'll be feeling the result of the workout tomorrow. Achy legs!
Speaking of Queensryche, that was quite the odd concert. It was promoted as a cabaret, so while it was quite entertaining, it sure was different.
This week, we have a few more press junkets to attend (DJ Hero 2, Guitar Hero and Ubisoft Wii preview event), so we'll have plenty of goodies to show and tell you about.

Yesterday was quite a busy day, especially since we usually like to relax and try to do as little as possible. We had relatives show up at 2:30 AM asking to crash at our place, and then we took them out to breakfast in the morning. Then it was off to do some laundry, post office trip, groceries, off to meet a friend for dinner, and then our neighbor, who just had foot surgery (and was obviously going stir-crazy), wanted to see
Inception, which we had planned to see next week with Adam. (Sorry, man.)
While we are not big DiCaprio fans, we did want to go see it because we like
Christopher Nolan (known for Memento and the last few Batman movies). If you have not seen it yet, it has a rather Matrix-like vibe and was quite the mind bender, but it was definitely worth seeing. Good stuff!
