  • I got a Wii!!

    I was at Target on Sunday night, looking into the possibility of putting an HDTV on layaway (they’ll only hold them, and they won’t hold them overnight… bleh). While I was there, I noticed they had some Nintendo Wiis on the shelf. Knowing he was looking for one, I called my friend Darren, who came over to get one. While he was there, I mentioned that I was considering getting one as well, but to do so, I’d have to take the money from what I’d been setting aside to buy his car from him. Darren said I should just get the Wii, so I did. The system came with Wii Sports, so I also got some games to go with it: Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, Star Trek: Conquest, and Wii Play (which also included a second wiimote for the console). I’ve also downloaded the NES game Super Mario Bros. 3 to the Wii, and have spent an inordinate amount of time after I get home just playing on the system. It’s addictive…
