Friday night I had Murray and Amanda over for a delicious pasta carbonara, and some hot 2 on 2 Pictionary action. The night ended slightly prematurely when they left so Amanda could throw up. Probably not because of my cooking, but who knows?
Saturday I started watching Underbelly, which I missed on TV, but borrowed the episodes on DVD from Murray. It was OK, it held my attention, although noone's going to ever confuse it with The Sopranos as far as quality goes. It's nice to have another series to work my way through though.
Saturday night I settled down with a blu-ray copy of "300". I guess I liked it, although with fantasy type stuff I usually turn off pretty quickly, and this movie spends a lot of time in that domain. It's weird when you see TV characters in movies, and this one had Diver Dan and Jimmy McNulty, and it just didn't seem quite right.
Sunday afternoon I returned 300, and couldn't resist the urge to grab another movie from my awesome new local video store (all movies $2.95 including blu-ray, and only $2 on Tuesdays) and so picked up "Hostel 2". I have to say that, while I enjoyed this, it may have been a little too violent, even for me. And I don't really remember thinking that about another movie before. Like the first movie, the first half or so is just getting to know the characters, and the second half is full of killing and stuff. Again with the TV actors appearing in a movie - this one featured two of the guys from "Desperate Housewives" as brothers. I'd mention them by name, but that would reveal I've watched enough of that show to be able to do so, so let's just move on.
Sunday night Narelle came round for dinner, and I (or Michella, can't really remember) cooked up a storm with the Chili Con Carne. Narelle came bearing housewarming gifts - some tea towels (which were actually really nice on their own), and a second guitar controller for Guitar Hero (which was immediately the greatest housewarming gift I've ever received, and in my top 5 overall). After tea we spent a few hours playing coop on Guitar Hero, and then played against her, which was much more fun than playing on your own.

I'm amazed now that my previous local video store is the very same "awesome" new video store you think of so fondly. It never received such rave reviews when it was my local. tsk, tsk Dan.
