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.

And now, since I need to kill time and not do anything with them, I'm adding stuff to the gallery. Like pictures of my new keyboard.

It lights up. Isn't it neat?

Also, there's some new stuff in the Digicam/2008 album.

That's my hair, all frosted over on that one really, really cold day.

And now I'm going all out of order. This is just a neat picture I managed to get of the moon, and an interesting ring around it.

This is the small 'insta-blizzard' from the 18th. It was pleasant enough when we left the house, and suddenly, there were all these tiny, hard snowballs [they weren't flaky, and they weren't quite ice] coming in sideways.

And this is the new 'open' sign on the church. Tacky....

Each of those should lead to a whole album of other pictures. I want chips now, and cannot be bothered to say much more until I get them.

As for the weather, it's 23, with an 80% chance of snow. Which means I should probably go out there and salt the sidewalk a bit more, so the UPS Man doesn't kill himself [or my stuff] on his way to my door.

Edit: well, that's odd. The Out for Delivery times changed. The 4lb box to 3:55AM, and the 19lb box to 5:28AM. So they're not together.

Stupid UPS.

That doesn't mean much, though. Between the 'stuff could show up well after 7pm' and the impending snow...ih.

And I've got a serious Middleswarth BBQ chip craving.

And they're still together. Yay.

Depending on how things work with them this year, that means I should be seeing them arrive in Commerce City on...Monday, even though they'll probably have gotten there over the weekend.

My next post will probably be about the packages getting split up, or about them making it to the next exciting stop, since they left Williamsport last night.

No mention of a delivery date, though. I don't know if that means they just forgot to register that, or if they just don't know.

...and I'm posting this mostly to try out this 'QuickPress' thing in the dashboard.

So now everything's even more everywhere than usual, and I have no room to do anything but move stuff back into other places....

That box is supposed to have my chips in it, too.

To hold us all over, here's the first wave of pictures.

The cookie tubs, with cookies and fudge. The fudge was a surprise. I figured I'd only get chocolate this year, but I got chocolate, peanutbutter, and chocolate/peanutbutter layered.

...and that's the other box. No presents, just stuff.

More later.

That's two boxes right there. Two. One less than three. And I don't currently know which one is missing because UPS can't fucking scan things or keep their system updated.

Insta update: I have no chips. There will be much rage, as there are NO CHIPS to soothe my NO PRESENTS rage.

10lb and 15lb box showed up. Fifteen had the cookie pails, some shirts, and my old copy of The Stand. And one wrapped present. Just the one. Ten had my SNES in it. And a pasta container. And this two-legged cat-like marionette. And my old Garfield alarm clock.

I want my chips. I want presents, too, but I WANT MY CHIPS NOW.
