Something awesome about going to medical school is that unless you are valedictorian, you know there will always be someone there that is a bigger dork or than you are. Such a dork, in fact, that they get up at 5 AM to be in line at Best Buy for the official release of the Nintendo Wii. And that is just what my friend did. So when I was rudely awoken at 8:11 by my brother in line in California where it was 6:11 AM to say that before noon he might be playing as well, I responded with "Yeah, well, my friend will be back in just a few minutes with his Wii so I'll just let you know how it is. Hope Marin City before 7:00 AM is nice." OK it was worded differently but I got the point across.

Anyway, my buddy brought home the Wii and we got it hooked up. Along with the system he also bought Zelda, Excite Truck and Call of Duty 3. The 2nd and 3rd I wasn't too excited about. I'd rename them "Bore Truck" and "Call of Doody". Zelda, however, freaking awesome. Since I have a minimum of two tests per week once I get back from Thanksgiving, owning one would be a bad idea, so I'll just hold out until Winter Break.

My friend Dave and I predicted that due to the new controls that the Wii brings, there HAS to be a mini-game in the new Mario Party that simulates some kind of masturbating motion....we were proven right. Apparently there's a game called Can Shake, where the goal is to be the player who can shake up a can the most in a certain time limit. We all know what it looks like to shake a can, so imagine replacing that can with a cylindrical object like a Wii remote and I think you know what I'm talking about. "But how do you judge who wins?" you ask. Here's the kicker. The winner is the player whose stream of "soda" from the can goes the furthest. Please. Just call the mini-game Money Shot and get it over with.

I saw Casino Royale tonight. It was pretty awesome, but it's 2 hours and 40 minutes. It kinda drags in the last hour. But whatever. It's a Bond movie, so you get what you paid for.
