I used one of my other presents [an amazon.com gift certificate from an online friend] to get a couple of games for the Wii, and UPS managed to get one of them to me today.

I'm...mildly disappointed, in that it's just, y'know, Wild World. With a city. But...I guess it's not all bad. Because, yes, it's Wild World with a city, but...it's on the Wii. And it's kinda fun for that. And it's got some really, really nice new options.

For example, you no longer have to go into your pockets [or briefcase, or whatever] to equip whatever, uh, equipment you want to use. You can use the little d-pad crosshairs thingy [left and right] to cycle through them, and pressing down unequips them. That saves some time.

The 'moving van' thing works nicely, too. I was able to import myself and my catalogue to the Wii with no trouble at all. And, hey, I'm still there on the DS, too. Yay.

There's an in-game camera, and...probably a bunch of stuff I haven't seen yet, since I just got it, and haven't had enough time to discover anything. Also, I decided to quit for the night, because things get annoying after Nook's store closes.

I got presents! I know, I know, it's so unexpected and stuff.

Silicone baking thingies. I needed more of those, since I only had the one. Now, I have three. Much better.

A digital photo album frame keychain thingy. Which actually holds more than one picture. I didn't know they held more than one picture.

A magnetic calendar with matching pen. Pretty, pretty green.

Warmstuffs! Something else I'd been wanting, because it gets cold here, and I needed warm things to wear under regular things. And they're black. It's like my mom knows me or something.

Two of the boxes were actually marked with what order in which they were to be opened. This one was heavy. I thought it might be a brick.

File folders. I...guess I needed those.

...wait a minute....

I got a Wii!

I bet I know why this was marked 'open last'....

One of mom's regular tricks. Wrapped stuff inside wrapped stuff....

In the bag are controllers for the NES. I didn't get pictures of those.

Another wiimote, the thingy that goes with it, and a charging station with batteries. All very, very necessary.

...and wow is Wii Sports fun. Especially that part where Gremlin re-breaks his knee getting a little too into the game and swinging the wiimote a little too hard.

So, I gave in and got ahold of Mom about opening the second box, because fudge and cookies just didn't do anything for me.

I kinda suspected that she was setting me up when she kept hinting that she thought that Dad may've put the wrong chips in my box.

It didn't exactly have the desired result of me getting upset. See, I know my mom too well.

Also, there was this. Which kinda makes the joke fail.

Ooh. Look. Presents....

I'm going to enjoy my chips, and hope Gremlin wakes up soon, so we can do this tonight....
