Overheard

“The superior man contains the means in his own person. He bides his time and then acts. Why then should not everything go well? He acts and is free. Therefore all he has to do is to go forth, and he takes his quarry. This is how a man fares who acts after he has ready the means.”

“Greatness is only a matter of will.  It is the end result of patience, determination, direction and strength.”

“kindergarchy n. Rule or domination by children; the belief that children’s needs and preferences take precedence over those of their parents or other adults.”

“The Northeast Blackout affected 50 million people and zero PEER 1 customers. Find out why.”

“As in 2007, the average U.S. worker has 14 vacation days this year. Just across the Canadian border, our counterparts get an average of 17 vacation days annually. But if you want a real “vacation envy” complex, consider the vacation banks of European workers. France tops the list with an average of 37 days, followed by Italy (33 days), Spain (31), the Netherlands and Austria (28), Germany (27) and Great Britain (26). “

It's early, so I forgive you, but the band's name is actually Mötley Crüe. Mind you, if you were just making a kind of pun on the band and actually just referencing the line, then that spelling's kosher.

Regardless, I must come over and play with your new Wii.

That sounds dirty.

Make sure you warm up before playing Wii Sports. After kicking Heather's butt at boxing, tennis and bowling, my right arm was hella sore for at least three days :(

i think maybe i've already shown you this: http://www.wiihaveaproblem.com/ but worth another look. hope you two (and guests) are careful! ;P

what does aimee make of the thing? or rather, what does she make of you "wiiligans"? (can i have credit for inventing a new word?)

anyway, congrats on the wii! can't wait to swing by for a game! what games have you got, so far? and which ones do you now have your eye on?

We're being very careful; we've had no accidents to far, but my arms are very sore after playing Wii Tennis too long yesterday.

I have Zelda and the Wii Sports that comes with the console. I will probably be getting elebits next. Wii'll see.
