Bacon, Ancient Aliens, Nerds, Star Wars and a hockey fix

Today was kickstarted by two bacon sandwiches on crusty bread from the cafe round the corner. To clarify, my day was but Toni's wasn't because she can't have crusty bread! (happy now? LOL). I did offer to bring her something else back but she didn't want anything. A perfect start to the day, for me at least anyway.

 Many hours were then consumed watching H2's (that's a second History Channel) Ancient Aliens series. Some interesting stuff in some of the episodes mixed up among the usual pile of bollocks LOL. Toni raised an interesting point in that these programs always focus on how aliens "could" have provided the ancient people with technology and skills but could it not have been more likely that they developed these things themselves but for whatever the reason they have been lost over the aeons. I guess it's down to what they consider would actually sell a TV show to the masses and aliens are probably seen as more "interesting".

An entertaining first episode of King Of The Nerds season 3 was then followed by Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope as I was feeling a little bit deprived of much Star Wars viewing of late. I'm sure we'll do some more tomorrow!

Due to the All Star Game break we have been missing hockey since last Wednesday. To get a bit of a fix we watch the Ducks v Flames game from Wednesday . We are keeping everything crossed that we will be able to get the stream of the All Star Game tomorrow evening via NHL Gamecenter Live. Fingers crossed on that one!
