Finally Found a Wii ...

Finally Found a Wii

Photo-A-Day #680

Spent too much time tonight playing with this. Full update tomorrow.

Update 02/18/07: Yesterday Allison and I went up to New Hampshire. We stopped at Comp USA in Nashua to see if they had a Nintendo Wii in stock. They did! However you had to buy 3 accessories with the Wii. So, we bought a second Wii Remote or Wiimote as it is known. We also bought 4X4 World Circuit That game came with a free steering wheel that houses the Wii Remote. I also picked up The Legend of Zelda for the Wii. We then left Comp USA and I dropped Allison off at Chili’s so she could got pick out dresses with her friend Lindsay for Lindsay’s upcoming wedding. I headed to Manchester to meet up with our friend James for lunch at TGI Fridays.

However, before I got to lunch I made a stop over to Toys ‘R Us to find a Wii Nunchuck Controller. I ended up with two of those plus a Wii Vertical Stand Cradle with 2 Wii Remote covers (One was a Mario theme (Red – Mine) and the other Yoshi (Lime Green – Allison’s)) and a 512MB memory card.

The funny thing was that there were two types of these, one with the memory card and the other without and they were the same price. So I was a no brainer to get the one with the memory card. I also got 2 Classic Controllers so that when we get home Allison can use her Wii Points Card to buy some classic games. All she wants is Super Mario Brothers. It will be fun to play that with her. Now, while I was looking around I saw that Toys ‘R Us has there own credit card and if you signed up you get 10% off and you also can get no financing and no interest so I also bought a 3rd Wii Remote and the Wii Play game that came with a free 4th Wii Remote. And I bought Wario’s Smooth Moves because that has 200 Wii Remote Mini Games. So I went a little Wii crazy yesterday.

I then went to TGI Fridays and had a nice lunch with James. While we were there we ran into Melissa. Allison and I used to work with Melissa at LEMI back about 5 1/2 years ago. Melissa was there with her husband Jeff and their daughter Kelsy. Kelsy was a little cutie and she was having fun being silly. After lunch James and I went to the mall where I got an alarm clock for my iPod and we looked at a bunch of things in Best Buy, but we didn’t buy anything there. I was at my limit for a while. James headed back home but would come back for dinner at Dan and Marcia’s.

I went back to the house and set up the Nintendo Wii and Dan, Marcia, Allison and I played Wii Bowling. We had a very good time playing. Clyde the cat however found that he wanted to chew on the wire that connects the sensor to the Wii itself. I was able to stop him before he made too much damage. We played a couple of strings and then Allison and I played Wii boxing.

We had homemade Chinese food for dinner and James came over for dinner. After dinner James and I played Wii Play (It is only a 2 player game). We then switched to 4X4 World Circuit and played with Allison. We did a race first then we played Monster Truck Soccer (A mini game within 4X4 World Circuit). Then James had to leave to take car of his dog Kara and Allison and I played a round of Wii Play and then went to bed.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
