Of Games And Books
It's been an eventful few days around the Bink househould. On Saturday, my wife's brother found a lone Wii console for sale, so he picked it up for us. We met up with him, paid him for it, and got it home and plugged it in. The boys in the household have spent some time bowling, golfing, playing baseball and tennis. And getting sore shoulders (well, at least mine are sore).
All that, and Harry Potter is in the house. A cute little box from Amazon showed up on the doorstep on Saturday, printed with the note: "Muggles - do not open before July 21st!" You'd almost think this was popular or something.
We got three books.
I've read the first five, but haven't had a chance to read the last two. With things being so busy, it'll be a while before I can get to it. But it's looking like I might have some more free time starting in a couple of months, so maybe I'll crack them then. Personally, I prefer Tolkien, but I understand the allure of the HP books. It's hilarious to see my kids (and wife) with their noses buried in the same book. At least it's been quiet around the house - except when the Wii is on.
UPDATE: I took my old 'cube in to see if I could get some doh-ray-me for it, and they said sure... $10.
$10 stinkin' dollars???
Apparently there's a glut of GameCubes (go figure) now that people are upgrading to Wii. I understand that, but... c'mon, that's what, 7% of the "new" price? That's ridiculous.
Heck, I'll keep it, and maybe give it away as a birthday gift or something. Sheez.
