Ah Friday! No one can take that away from you, not even if you happen to be on call this weekend.

I have no big plans - I can't, really, being on call. I need to stay near an internet connection for a lot of it. I do believe we'll sit and watch Hugo at some point, and I suspect Star Wars will get played for what may be the last weekend I touch it before Mass Effect 3 comes out. I'm not done playing Star Wars, mind you, but ME3 will demand my attention.

I should forwarn you, it's our biannual meeting time next week, so my posting will be sporadic due to all day, off site meetings. You've been warned.
