wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

So, Alex's birthday is Tuesday. Every time I've asked him what he wants for his birthday over the past few weeks/months/whatever, he's said a Wii. Every time we've gone to EBGames, we've asked, "Do you have any Wii's in stock?" and the answer has always been a (snotty) "NO!" So, this morning when I asked Alex again what he wanted for his birthday and he said, "a Wii" I said, "Fine. Well, I'll give you the number to EBGames and if they have a Wii, I'll buy you one. If not, you'll have to tell me something else to get you." So he called. And they had Wii's in stock. Said they figured that no one new about them because they've been in since yesterday and they haven't sold out yet. Alex said, "I'll be there in ten minutes!" and proceeded to rush me to put some pants on and forget about my hair and let's go!!!!

So now we're the proud owners of a Wii. Most expensive birthday gift I ever gave anybody... But probably also the best. We've been having so much fun tonight!! We've played table tennis, tennis, fishing, pong, some weird tank game and now we're bowling. It's funny how we won't go bowling in real life but we'll Wii bowl in our living room. I'm doing pretty well - as usual I barely broke a hundred my first game and now I'm kicking butt in the second game and will probably beat my last score by 50 pins or so. To make the bowling experience more authentic we broke out the Guns and Roses and some beer. Now we're just missing the sketchy people in the lane to one side and some people that one of us graduated with that we're pretending we never knew in the other lane. So I guess it's not the complete authentic Clifton Park Bowl experience, but it's close. ;)

Anyway, we're super-excited about the Wii. It's great to have a gaming console that we both want to play and it's a lot of fun to play together. Wiiiiiiiiiiiii! :)
