Weee! We got a Wii!

Hey Guys! Quite the weekend I must say. Celebrated a friends bday (got a little too drunk, sorry all), Participated in the Grey Cup/Santa Claus Parade, Staff Outing to Academy Lanes and got a Nintendo Wii.

Well the parade really was a blast but for some unknown reason they wanted us there super early. The parade didnt even start until 4 and we were there at 1:30pm. Our float (IMAX) was somewhere in the middle so we didnt even move until closer to 4:30-5ish. It wasnt super cold out but it was cold enough waiting around for everything to get started. There was about 1.5hrs to kill before going to our staff night at Academy Lanes.

Me and Matt arrived first (like I knew we would). But everyone else was a little later than I thought they would be so I started getting paranoid that no one was going to show up. I ordered a lot of food so I was worried that it would go to waste. But everyone showed up fashionably late so it was good. We were doing the 5 pin bowling thing and I'm still undecided about which style of bowling is actually easier. All I know is that I totally sucked at first and then I was schooling people by the end.

On Sunday we woke up nice and early and Matt made a pancake breakfast. Then we went to Toys R Us to pick up our Wii. Good thing we preordered it or we would have never gotten one. The doors opened at 12 and we were there at 12:05 and ended up waiting in line for about 1.5 hrs. Most of the games were already sold out. They didnt even have any extra controllers left. Oh well. But we played it for pretty much all of yesterday and damn is it ever fun. My arm is actually a little sore today. Once we get some more controllers, we'll have to have some sort of nerd party so we can drink pop, eat chips, and play some Nintendo.
