\"keeping<\/a><\/p>\n

did you know that if you book a cruise on norwegian cruise lines you get your own email address? i didn’t, either. if i need to get ahold of my father while he’s sailing around the hawaiian islands this week, i can email him! how cool is that? hm… i could even email him from my Wii!
\nspeaking of the Wii<\/a>: WHEE!
\nlots and lots of fun! so<\/em> much fun. even just using the controller (from here on out referred to as the wiimote) to navigate all the menus to initially set up it up was exciting and caused me to exclaim “this is the best thing *ever*!” which inspired my boyfriend to prove me wrong later that evening — rawr.
\ni’ve only had it two nights and now it’s all i want to do. i have dinner plans with col<\/a>, ritchie<\/a> & nelson<\/a> tonight, but i’m sorely tempted to cancel them so i can go home and practice my wii tennis. yes, i’d pass up yummy sushi with them to play pretend sports. that’s how much fun it is!
\neven though, by the end of a session of tennis or boxing, my arms are burning, i’ve yet to be beset by Wii-elbow<\/a> the next day, which is kind of surprising considering how much aching there is after three rounds of boxing. i’m sure i’ll injure myself eventually, though. it’s inevitable with my superior level of clumsiness. christopher very nearly dislocated a couple of somethings with his spectacular follow-through during a bowling frame on tuesday evening. luckily the comfy chair was there to catch his fall or it might have been quite tragic.
\ni’ve rented three games to try out over the next couple of weeks: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess<\/a>, Trauma Center: Second Opinion<\/a> and Warioware: Smooth Moves<\/a>. at $10 a week per game (actually, it’s more like $5\/week because you have a week’s grace period after your initial rental is due to take it back without penalty – yay), i figure it’s a smart thing to rent these games before i shell out $60 a pop and then find out i hate them (like i did with some Playstation games – grr). jamie and i played some of Smooth Moves last night and, although it was kind of confusing for me, it kept me interested. after he left, i went through and played some more. it turns out i really like the fast-paced mini-games. not knowing what you’re supposed to do in each of them might be the best part.
\ndon’t worry, there is little chance this is going to turn out to be a Wii gaming blog any time soon, but for the interim (aka while i’m obsessed) there may be a lot of Wii-talk hereabouts. sorry.
\nin other news: i hate snow. the gunk the doctor told me to put in my eye might be helping. there’s too much food in my fridge for me to eat before it goes bad. working for a living sucks. i could use a nap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
