The arrival of the Wii

I finally managed to get my order in for a wii last week using a real-time stock checker from game station. It was inevitably going to be a Nintendo, if you’ve seen my about page.
I imagine the business of on-line retail to be pretty thankless, so I thought I would drop them a quick mail to say thankyou, as their service was fast and kept me informed all the way. I had a very nice personal response in return :)

Anyway, the muscles around my shoulder blades are aching today after a few heavy bouts of boxing yesterday, followed by a lot of tennis and bowling with some friends of that ‘one-more-go’ nature. I have a feeling that this thing may get in the way of productivity…

Mario Bros Rubics Cube

I’ve wanted to have another go at that darn Rubic’s Cube for some time now as I have a few more years under my belt. This might just be the ideal thing to spark my enthusiasm for the having another go. Reminds me of the kid on Multicolour swap shop that could do it in about 30 seconds. I bet that was only because he didn’t have a skateboard.

If you can understand Japanese, maybe you could order one for me too. www.megahouse.com

I couldn’t help but have a snoop around the megahouse site to see what’s hot in Japan and came across the carnimals. I’ll let you make your own mind up, but check out the expression of the monkey driving the duck…
