Saturday morning sucked. I worked approximately 12 hours patching servers all day at work.

Saturday evening was much better. Jeff, Andy, Scott and I (all childhood friends) got together for an evening of fun, food and poker. The idea came while the four of us talked at Andy's birthday party last month. Last night's poker night was similar to our gatherings of old, except instead of booze and pizza we had diet soda and a huge selection of health-conscious snacks (graciously provided by Jeff). Although the group met under the guise of playing poker, really the four of us just wanted to get together, chat about old times and catch up with one another. We had such a good time that we decided to rotate houses and do it on a monthly basis. I'm looking forward to it.

Blog updates have been slow due to (a) a massive headcold and (b) the Xbox 360. Things should pick up after the three-day weekend.

If things work out, Susan and I are planning on sneaking away for a couple of hours later tonight to see Cloverfield. I've seen reviews ranging from 0/4 stars to 4/4 stars. I have no idea what to expect.
