Beating out (some of) the hoards and probably denying some kid his much-wished-for-under-the-tree item, C and I gifted ourselves yesterday. There’s only one word for it: Wii!!!!!

We got the sports game with the console and it is so much fun (and very odd)! The cordless remote vibrates in your hand at times like when you make “contact” with a ball. You bowl by doing the underhand bowling motion (it also recognizes when you put spin on the ball), golf by holding the remote like a club and swinging (you can hook/slice), tennis recognizes forehand and backhand, and baseball pitches overhand and you swing the remote like a bat to hit. I haven’t tried boxing yet, but for that you use two remotes which are connected to each other.

Spooky fun how it works.

Here is C playing baseball:

While I’m swamped at work today, I’m playing hooky next week. Guess what I’ll be doing.
