Weekend. Wiiiiiiiiii...

[jeriendhal]

Saturday I watched Tom while moonshadowed was at work, which was okay. We went to the NCTM and rode the PCC unit they purchased from The Hague and he had a good time.

Sunday was a bit rougher. Tom was playing downstairs in the basement with mommy and climbed into her chair to play with her hair, which she'd gotten cut and styled on Friday. Unfortunately he got the bright idea of climbing up the BACK of the chair, and before she could stop him took a header to the floor. Fortunately he wasn't seriously injured, but he did get a couple of nasty scrapes on his right foot which upset him tremendously. It took a good two or three hours to restore his calm, between getting the scrape and being told very firmly that he must keep the bandaids on. But by the afternoon he had taken a nap and was doing better, which all good.

So Tracy and I decided I could open up my birthday present a bit early that evening, since I'd guessed what it was. She'd bought me a Wii, which by some miracle Best Buy actually had in stock when she called on 2/29. We've just got the basic unit plus an extra set of controllers, so the only game we have is Wii Sports (which I'm already earning a case of carpal tunnel from playing). I guess that means I'll be heading over to jvowles tonight as soon as I get the chance to borrow some games.

I know I eventually want to but Mario Party 8, No More Heroes and possibly the latest Zelda game, but does anyone have any other suggestions as to what I might enjoy?

Super Smash Bros Brawl. And definitely get Zelda. They are both dipped in awesome sauce.

I loved the latest Zelda game. some people had issues with it, but I thought it was amazing, and it was the first Zelda game I have every actually finished (so I think it might be a little shorter than the others).

Other fun games have been...Um...well...(I play the Wii a lot. Can you tell?) Don't get the DDR game for the Wii. It is made of fail.

Rayman Raving Rabbids, Super Mario Galaxy, and of course, Super Smash Brothers!

Okay, I have no idea what the NCTM or PCC unit is, but you purchased something from The Hague?... Is that the name of a company or are you really talking about "the beatiful city behind the dunes" in the Netherlands (<- that's part of a song about The Hague, the city I was born *grins*)

Anyway, I already posted at your Devart that I definatly recommend Mario Party and Zelda, Twilight Princess, but also Guitar Hero. I just really love that game. :D

Ooops.. Okay, to translate: NCTM = National Capitol Trolley Museum, a private non-profit group that restores and operates streetcars on land donated by the state of Maryland. PCC = Presidential Committee Car, the standard trolley design in the United States from about 1930 until they stopped being built in the 50's. The unit I was talking about was indeed from your fair city, built in 1971 and retired in 1992, when it was purchased and shipped over to my side of the Atlantic. The design looks modern but it's basically the same chassis as the old PCC, built on license by a company in Belgium. The museum is happy to have it, because it means they have examples of operable PCC units built in the 30's, 50's and the 70's, when the last were built.

And now you know entirely too much about some of my pet obsessions... :)

I guess I'm definitely added Zelda and Guitar Hero to my list of games I want to save for now!

It really is an old trolley from my city! *grins wide* We have different ones riding through the city nowadays days, but I remember seeing photos of these.
