I got my Wii.
I was well prepared I think. Armed with the knowledge that a Toys’R’Us about 25 min away had Wiis for the notorious Black Friday, I suited up in my scrubs (since I might have to go straight to work), my ski-bib, and my winter coat and gloves. The wait at 0315 seemed like no biggie. That was until someone made the first move to get out of his/her car and wait at the door. After braving 30 min in the 25 deg F cold, I was ready for my Wii. I was 5th in line.
In contrast, the people outside BestBuy were nuts. Camped out overnight since 2200 in a line wrapped around the building complete with people selling hotdogs and cocoa.
My first game is Trauma Center: Second Opinion accompanied by Zelda and Rayman. Score!
I have no idea how this “movie” deserved the amazing ratings and rave reviews on such sites as movies.yahoo.com and rottentomatoes.com. There was even a review that was titled, “Bor-avo!” Sick. The movie should have been hilarious considering the supposed content but it ended up being ridiculous. Even after reading the production notes it was totally not believable and seemed mostly confabulated. Despicable. I came out wishing my nine bucks went to the real poor people of Kazakhstan instead of that fake bastard. The movie was shit. :thumbdown:
I’m happy Isaac was a proud enough nerd to link this video on his Xanga. It’s amazing.
In case you didn’t notice the sweaters and coats; in case you didn’t find the days getting shorter and shorter; in case you didn’t see the leaves turn and fall; in case you didn’t see the frost in the mornings; just in case, Mother Nature decided to make us notice.
