Wii are Angry
Wednesday night, I went on a fishing bonanza, filling my Animal Crossing house with fish to sell the next day in one big selling run. Last night, a little while after I got home, I made my sales, getting myself up to over 85,000 bells (Animal Crossing currency), a hefty sum indeed. I continued fishing, wanting to break the 100,000 mark, when I came across one of my town’s residents. Franc...[Read More]
A Wii Bit of Devastation
Our new Wii does not come without consequences. Since we purchased our Wii, our apartment has gone to hell. We moved our coffee table to place the Wii Fit Balance Board down. We have dishes from LAST THURSDAY still sitting in the sink (I finally washed some yesterday and set some others in hot water to soak). We have empty snack bags (and some not so empty snack bags) littering the floor aroun...[Read More]
Wii Week Continues
Well, since Monday was heavily focused on the Wii, and Tuesday documented a Wii-related experience, I figured we might as well make it Wii Week and run three more days of Wii blog posts. I bet you’re all excited about that! Lindsey and I have been playing a lot of Animal Crossing: City Folk since we got it. It is the most played game we own now. When we got it, I figured that would be her...[Read More]
Blockbuster’s Wallet Buster
Yesterday I mentioned that we had rented a couple of games for our new Wii from Blockbuster on Sunday night (Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and De Blob). What I failed to mention was that we had intended to rent two additional games (Cooking Mama: World Kitchen, and Spongebob’s Atlantis Squarepants), but decided, at the last minute, to refrain. Why, do you ask? $8.99 each. That’s why....[Read More]
Weekend with the Wii
On Friday the 13th, Lindsey and I became the proud new owners of a Nintendo Wii system, along with Wii Fit, Wii Sports, Wii Play, Mario Kart Wii, Super Mario Galaxy, Animal Crossing: City Folk (with Wii Speak), and some accessories. Needless to say, our weekend was very productive. Very productive. We have both been playing mostly Animal Crossing. She has played this game in depth on multiple sy...[Read More]
Year 1 – Episode 7 Recap
Our Friday the 13th episode started with some unlucky technical difficulties, resulting in a late start of almost 10 minutes! We sincerely apologize, but we were so busy playing on our new Wii that we didn’t take the time to confirm that everything was ready to go. Our bad. This episode saw Lindsey in aluminum devil horns (which were easy to do since all she did was wrap them around her re...[Read More]
Valentine’s Day
Today was Valentine’s Day. It was the second Valentine’s Day that Lindsey and I have had, and the first since we moved in together and since we became engaged. The first thing we did was get breakfast. Sorry, let me correct that. The first thing I did was get breakfast. The first thing Lindsey did was play Animal Crossing: City Folk on our new Wii. After eating breakfast, we cont...[Read More]
Dr. Chocolate, D.D.S. (Doctor of Dental Surgery (Dentist))
After our trip to the Apple Store a couple of nights ago, we stopped by a See’s Candies shop, as it was on our way out of the mall, and we wanted some free candy samples. We walked in and picked up a couple of interesting shelf items before standing in line for the good stuff. Shortly after, one of the sales associates finished with her customer and came to serve us. We tried a couple of ...[Read More]
Apple Store Blues
After visiting Lindsey’s great-great-uncle for his 91st birthday, we headed to the Apple Store to buy the Griffin Clarifi case for the 3G iPhone I bought her this week. We got there shortly after 8:00pm, and while looking at the wall of accessories, an associate stopped by to ask us if we needed any help. This associate was Michael M. Remember this, folks, because his name will come up ag...[Read More]
Is your refrigerator running?
Then you’d better go catch it! Our refrigerator sucks as much as that joke. Our apartment came with a refrigerator. We considered this a good thing. However, even at level 5 out of 9 possible temperature levels, it still freezes yogurt, salad, and juice. Things which are NOT LOCATED IN THE FREEZER. A simple solution, you might say, is to keep turning it down until it stops freezing thin...[Read More]
One year ago…
The date, February 19, 2008. The time, 8:50pm. The place, AT&T corporate store at 5180 N Blackstone Ave, in Fresno. The situation: For our two month anniversary (two monthaversary, twoaversary, whatever), we decided to purchase new cell phones for each other. I had wanted an iPhone since before there was even speculation about iPhones. She wanted a Sidekick LX. We had spent a great deal of ...[Read More]
Kitty Cat
As we’re walking back into our apartment this evening, after spending most of the day running errands and being about town, we noticed a small, beautiful, black cat with white and grey accents in the parking lot. After a bit of prompting, it eventually came closer. As I had somewhere around ten plastic bags filled with groceries and miscellaneous items hanging from my right arm, I felt tha...[Read More]
