The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

Helping my father cook, setting the table, and watching some shows about Roman history on the Military Channel. My sister and her boyfriend will be here by 4:00 for presents, food and stockings.
 
just got finished cranking one out and heading upstairs for more gift giving. boy this is going to be akward.
 
Back from the job, 50 dollars richer, and trying to get my Age of Empires III expansion to work. It's giving me the same grief as the original.

I want the expansion, but am pretty hesitant to buy it considering how let down I was with Age of Empires III as a whole (I mean...why did they cut out so much of the features that made aoe II or aom so great?)

Did they fix anything, add any new features, or was it just tacking on a few more civilizations?
