You gave away my cornbread recipe? And she put weed in it?! You don’t put weed in my cornbread!

Mustard: Bringing in 2007 with a bang!

Wow, I know, how freaking long has it taken me to post again? Those darn holidays tend to make things tricky on the updating.

So first news: Wiiiiiiiiii! Yes, despite the ridiculous shortage, I managed to find a Nintendo Wii (along with an extra controller which was almost just as hard to find). So far it’s frakkin’ fun as all hell. I don’t know if Wii Sports was turned off the entire weekend of New Years. Sure the graphics are complete crap, but the creation of your own Mii which you play the game with is strangely satisfying. Bowling is just awesome. Boxing is remarkably fun despite all the negative things I’ve heard about it and I swear my arms haven’t had that good a workout in a long time.

Zelda is, well come on, it’s friggin’ Zelda. Of course it’s awesome. And I’m not even remotely far into it. The use of the Wii-mote is intuitive and really feels seemless as opposed to gimmicky. The graphics are stunning and considering it’s technically a Gamecube game, I’m really looking forward to what the system can push with a game built for it.

I’ve only gotten a game or so into Madden and it’s also fun though it’s taken awhile to get used to the controls given on how I’m so used to the old system. But the use of the Wii-mote to control actions such as hiking the ball is excellent. It’s so damn effective in fact that I was drawn offside on the first play of the game thanks to a fake hike by Crowley.

RIP O.C. Fox announced this week that the series will be ending at the end of February. It’s a little sad but to be honest, even though this season has been much much better than the past season, I’m still just not as in to it.

I think Erin put it best when she said yesterday how funny it was but of all the shows she’s missed during the break, the one she’s really missing is Bones. I totally agree. I just enjoy that show more than I should.

Of the movies I’ve caught lately, Charlotte’s Web was a good, relatively faithful adaptation of the book. Though I was slightly annoyed in that I feel like they made the goose less of an annoying know-it-all because it was being voiced by Oprah. Maybe it’s just me. We Are Marshall was pretty much the same movie you’ve seen a hundred times. It’s not a bad movie and has some good performances in it but it’s nothing you haven’t seen before.

News and notes:

Wow, was that ND game an ass whooping or what? The streak continues…

Wow, is the Giants game gonna be an ass whooping or what?

I really hope the Golden Globes isn’t an indication of Oscar noms because man, that’ll be a boring show.

Until next time:

“Dr. Turner said that I am a very talented young physician.”

“Jordan said I'm the only man she ever wants to have sex with.”

“Oh…”

“Aren't we sharing fantastic lies we choose to believe for personal reasons?”
