We also caught up on the rest of Glee and watched another episode of The Good Wife.
My Laser Light Guns arrived from Hong Kong, but unfortunately I cannot yet check them out since I have no games that work with it yet. They are in working order, so tomorrow, I shall bug various publishers to send me a few extra copies so I can start firing away!
