Wiis and fun

Yesterday my family just got a Wii, now in the beginning I was quite opposed to getting a Wii, it being expensive and all; but what REALLY changed my mind was the new Harry Potter game, I saw commercials for it and I just HAD to have it, Wii or not. Thankfully Mom had already decided to get said Wii so all I had to do was plead to get the new HP game, I had the foresight to previously mention the game and it's being bought in comparison with buying the Wii, and whadda ya know I got my new game the same day as the Wii. I played HP for a good two hours over the course of the day, interchanging it with Wii Sports(fun and entertaining) and Mario Party 8, not as fun as Mario Kart, but I figure it's because we're not quite sure how to use it just yet. Hooking up was not as stressful as I was lead to believe but the hooking up itself lead to quite a few problems, mostly between my youngest sister and I, over why she can't play HP before I and why she has to vacuum, because we weren't about to play Wii barefoot on a dirty floor, and I'm of the fire belief that if someone doesn't know how to vacuum they should learn by experience before setting off on their own, which was indeed her plan and time to learn how to vacuum. Stupid I know, but not much can be said for fourteen year olds with the attitude that they believe they are the most important person in the world and everything they say or do is the highlight of everyone's life. Now some of us might have had this kind of attitude, but being the oldest I'd like to believe that I never acted this way; I guess I could be wrong but...I'd like to not think so.

She's a self-professed 'Wii-ahoilic' she said so herself not two minutes ago while not taking care of an extension cord, something she should have taken care of hours ago. My other sister, the fifteen year old, has had her boyfriend over most of the afternoon and has yet to play *correction she is playing now and creating her very own Mii* it's very boring watching the creation of another's charcter, this is the second one I've seen created today, I'm kinda like Frankenstein in a vauge sort of way.

Now onto the games...Harry Potter, my new favorite, you play as Harry and you get to do a multitude of things. Fly, duel, which can be quite painful if the spell you are trying to cast involves flinging both the remote and the nunchuck at your face, which believe it or not readers ,it does require you to do on occasion, like Levicorpus, and we of special intrests know what that does....and Protego, also require much flinging about. In general spells of charms and jinxes and the like reqiure flinging about of a certain degree. I've played so much HP my left arm is shaking and it hurts to keep it in an upright postion. But my favorite HP activity is that of Potions making, I just love making potions, picking up the little vials, shaking them up and pouring them out, heating up my cauldron and stirring it up, no matter how boring it sounds I promise you it's so much fun I could barely stand to turn it off. But I did, and then came Mario Party 8. I'm not so sure what the point of the game is, but occasionally I did have fun, when I played the odd basketball at least, and it's something I can excel at and I'm proud at myself. Wii Sports, I've had a blast! I took the age thing and I'm the youngest of both my younger sisters! I'm 54 while they are in their late 70's ha! I've played all the sports offered and I kick butt at baseball and tennis, tennis is somewhat understandable considering I played tennis for all of two months in the seventh grade. Baseball....I've never really been into the sport but I may start to be into it later on down the road.

Anyways it's getting late, and I can barely move my right arm from punching the punching bag so much and from baseball, and probably from spell casting and potions, it's a tiring interactive fun way to spend an afternoon and I can pretty much guarantee a good night's rest for me. Night to all. And please gentle readers don't be afraid to post comments on thoughts or anything else, you don't even have to be a member to do so! Lots of love and luck sent your way from mine!
