Whee, We, Wii

So Randi surprised me by giving me a Christmas present early… the brand new Nintendo Wii! But I don’t think she knows what she’s gotten herself into… ’cause now she’s hooked more than me… she loves the fact that you can play old skool games on it, like Sonic the Hedgehog…

It’s hilarious to watch her play boxing. I thought people were joking when they said they were taking out TV’s when playing but it’s easy to believe after watching Dino bring the fury…

Some shouts outs:

My good friend BERNIE from Osterreich is over here in the States celebrating his 21st birthday in NYC. I unfortunately can’t join him because I have to work all the live long day, every day, but I think that if you read this blog you should email him at ceo@pimpedbernie.com and let him know you love him. Cause you do.

I called up my good friend Josh the other day hoping that his wife, Kysha, would be able to help me out with thems Christmas shoppings for the wife… but it didn’t work out:

Josh (sounding distraught): Hello?

Me (chipper): Hey, buddy, how’s it goin’? Is your wife around? I need some women-buying advice.

Josh: …dude… she’s in the hospital… her appendix… just almost burst…

…so, that made me feel like a jerk. She’s OK now, it was minor surgery and she’s back at home resting, but it reminded me of the time I called my other friend Justice about a Christmas party:

*ring, ring*

Justice (whispering): “H…Hello?”

Me (anooyingly cheerful): “Hey man it’s your buddy Jamion! I just wanted to let you know that we were going to have a Christmas party tonight at my place, and there’s going to be snacks and eggnog and music and a ton of people and it’ll be really fun! I’m sure you’d like it and your fiancee would have fun too! If you come, here’s the directions and don’t be late and yada yada yada blah blah blah…”

Justice (still whispering): Um… dude, that’s nice and all, but … I’m getting married in three minutes… I’m about to walk down the ailse right now

Me: UHHHH… I’m SO sorry… Um… Don’t worry about the party, then… UMMM… have a good day….

…this and other conversations in the “Open Mouth Insert Foot” file…
