Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Never expect your 12 year old daughter to talk you out of making a purchase that you know you shouldn't make. Sam and I were at Best Buy over the weekend and noticed that they had just gotten a shipment of the Wii. I tried to get her to talk me out of buying one, but she gave me the puppy dog eyes and pleaded with me to buy it instead. I'm a softy, especially with things that I want to do anyway, and now I'm the semi-proud owner of the Wii.

I try to justify it by telling myself that I'm excercsing when I use it, but I've only broken a sweat once, and I think that's because we had our air conditioner off.

Wii Play is stupid, Wii sports is fun, but the games could be a bit longer (3 inning baseball??). I'm waiting on Gamefly to ship me some games now...Zelda and Rampage, both look pretty cool.

The best is I somehow got it up and running on the big screen upstairs (up til now my video games have been relegated to the basement). Keri wasn't mad, but then she'll be getting the expensive patio furniture this weekend instead of the cheap stuff I was trying to get for her.

The new house has been put on hold again, can't buy a house if I keep spending money on stupid crap.

Looking for a digital camera

Does anyone know of a good digital camera? The one I bought a couple of XMas's ago for $80 at Walmart proved that it is as good as it cost. It does a great job if you're taking a picture of something that doesn't move in a very bright room, but if you try to take a picture of someone kicking you in the head you get a blurry, grainy dark image that you can't possibly post on your blog.

Sorry to get anyone hope's up, I'll see if I can get my hands on some pics, but so far it's looking like my 4 minutes of embarrassment will go unseen.
