It’s going to be a long, semi-rough week catsitting for two households again but the upsides are more than doubled.
Summer is here so the Lowrys’ hot tub and pool can be used when I’m not being entertained by Angel, Tiki and the ever elusive Jack. The Lowrys recently upgraded to digital cable and a bigger television. I have no idea if it’s plasma or LED. They told me Ethan knew what to pick out for them.
Meanwhile, Adam is out at WWDC and I get to give nuggies to Celeste, Taube and Jezebel. Catsitting this trio is a joy too because the girl cats like to be petted, even when Jezebel gives me her blank gaze. I also figured out how to operate Adam’s Wii. Pretty darn cool! I guess naming it Whee! would’ve been too corny. We didn’t have too much time to play due to it being late and our burritos getting cold so I got in one quick game of bowling (a 122, just like in life), a three-round boxing match (the dude I beat the snot out of looked like Jesus!) and built a Mii which seems similar to an avatar; the resemblence isn’t too strong, it only has one chin and no option for stubble. I want to try it out some more. As much as I love the PS2 I have, I think I’m finally coming around to having two gaming platforms around the house; the interface part of Wii was amusing. I’d say the bowling was rather realistic, my arm is now sore, I hooked several throws and I frequently missed the spares thanks to them mostly being three-pin splits.
The Wii is a lot of fun as you have experienced. I like the fact that people who are not video game people seem to enjoy the gaming system. As you know, I like playing golf and the Tiger Woods Golf for the Wii is awesome. You have to make the full swing motion in order to hit the ball.
Nancy has become addicted to DDR on the PS2 after playing it at one of her friend’s house. A Wii version is coming out in August so I held off getting it for her birthday.
