We went and saw Bond last night. Quite good, action-packed, but maybe at the expense of some of the cool dialog one comes to expect from 007. Anyway, worth it.

Saw the Barca game today, they won 0-2, which is awesome. At the top of La Liga, they haven't lost since August I think.

So, today is my Saint Day, Albertus Magnus, also known as Albert the Great , as my mom just reminded me.

It's all wet and rainy out. Nicole has to go to a friend's wedding shower today, so this morning we had to go buy some wrapping paper and stuff. My jacket somehow wasn't as water-proof as I thought, and I got a little wet. We stopped at a small cafe where I had a croissant and an orange juice.

I am back home now, reading the papers and the news. Open House again tomorrow, so we will have to cleanup the place this evening once Nicole gets back.

I forgot to mention yesterday was Veteran's day, there was a big parade down 5th Ave. Unfortunately we didn't have off, but I could here it all morning long from my office.

It felt nicer on my way home tonight, I wasn't cold at all. Have a brand new chorizo sandwich ready, which Nicole got me this morning, excellent

Hans said they were shooting several Gossip Girl scenes on his building today, kind of cool. I think he has never seen the show himself, hope this sparks his interest, it's quite good .

This week is moving along a little slow , just getting home. Colder today, definitely catching up with the season, a coat was a requirement today.

I've noticed my IE 7 has become unstable. I believe it started 2-3 weeks ago after a series of patch installs. Once in a while, maybe once a week, IE becomes unresposive and hangs. It has done so about 7 times so far. I have to kill it and restart it. I know I can use Chrome and Firefox, but I do like IE for some reason, everything seems to always render a little cleaner on IE (albeit slower). Anyway, if continues to do it, I may download 8 beta or switch to Chrome permanently. We'll see. Disappointing though.
