Hope all of you on the East Coast are safe and sound.  Sending good thoughts your way.

We're having mild weather here, but the barometric pressure keeps playing havoc with my sinuses.  Basically this translates to me feeling extremely blech!  So, I'm spending much of the day eating yogurt (for the icky tummy), knitting (a scarf for my mom for a cruise she's going on in a few weeks) and watching Doctor Who (yay!).

I've got about 44 minutes until the new ep of Who, but I love watching "A Good Man Goes to War" over and over again.  It reminds me of how awesomely awesome Rory is.  It also starts to hurt my brain again when I think about River's timeline.  So I don't think about it too much.  Though I do wonder if she and Captain Jack have met at some point.

Other than that, I'm waiting for "Dragon Age: Origins" to load on my PS3 and will probably spend a good chunk of the rest of the weekend gaming.  (Provided the icky tummy and sinuses co-operate.)  I think the purchase of the PS3 may be my doooom.  "Portal 2" is now on my list of things I MUST have and I'm having way too much fun playing "Assassins Creed 2".  Just wish there was a way to game and knit at the same time. :)

ETA: I'm also trying to figure out what comic books I'll be taking out to read in public tomorrow.  I'm also thinking of doing a photo of myself for this.  I think it's a great way to push against stereotypes both about comics and about what type of entertainment women enjoy.

I too have lamented the fact that it's not possible to knit and play video games at the same time -- on many occasions I've decided to watch television instead, because it feels more productive as a consequence. Protip, though: depending on the project, it is occasionally possible to knit during the loading screens of DA:O. They can get long.

I eagerly await the day we will be able to control video games with our minds, leaving hands free for knitting.

(We're weathering the storm just fine so far, here in MA. Living on the fourth floor, it's not like we have anything to flood, and it's not supposed to get that windy here.)
