I plead temporary insanity!
Monkey ball is the worst when its controls decide not to obey my calculated jostling. Wii Tennis also evokes this strange phenomenon, but not due to control issues–it’s simply a very competitive sport!
I was a bit surprised, myself, and have set out to adjust accordingly ;)

My Wii component cables are here!!!!
But here is Jasper, where I’m stuck for the week, and my Wii is in Kennesaw :(
The best part of the Wii so far (outside of Twilight Princess)? Watching Travis regress. Wii Sports and Monkey Ball make him freakishly competitive. The quickest way to notice this is by listening to the amount of profanity. It’s been forever since Travis has screamed “FUCK!” “SHIT!” and such like that. He takes it in good spirit mostly, though. Even he laughed when we joked that Monkey Ball was a battle for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place…with Travis hauling up a solid #4.

After being stumped at every Blockbuster in town, Peter just *bought* Raving Rabbids last night. Much fun was had. It’s what Super Monkey Ball should have been, if Sega hadn’t fucked it up with a pointlessly bad control scheme for half the games.

I made a post yesterday about the first semester being over at Grad School, thanking my undergrad professors Dr. Voogt and Dr. Scott for helping me. You see, according to the transfer students (some from places such as Georgia Tech) GSU’s history department is “punishing.” Were it not for my good grounding in historiography and research, I probably wouldn’t have survived as well as I have.
In other news: Christmas Shopping Completed. All Systems Nominal.

On Survivor:
Yes, we all know survivor is my secret shame. It’s been posted here many a time, so let’s revel in it one more time before moving on.
Now then, I think this is the best season of Survivor in a long, long time. Yul is playing exactly as I would play if I was out there. He’s also the most honest person to ever play this game. Did you notice how he said, in front of everyone, that he could predict Jonathan? And then when someone confronted him on it, he said roughly: “Yes, that’s what I said, although not in the connotation you’re suggesting.” That’s honesty baby, and not the kind of bullshit honesty everyone else who has ever played this game has pretended to give a shit about. I also like how he tacitly admitted that he told them what he told The Boob Trio in the way he told them because of who they are. He might not like Jonathan, but that doesn’t mean shit.
A word on Jonathan: He may be an ass, but he’s playing a good game. A damn good game.
