Wii Fit scared the bejesus out of me tonight
Seriously.
I unlocked a new balance exercise called the Lotus Focus. You sit on the balance board in the lotus position (or, as they helpfully point out, if you can't do it just sit cross legged) and try to keep your spine perfectly straight and balanced for as long as you can. On the screen is a picture of a candle, and the flame shimmers at any movement and goes out when you lose your balance. They try to distract you, like with a moth flying near the flame, and footsteps in the distance. Anyway, I was able to keep the candle lit for 90 seconds. Not bad for someone with sucky balance I guess, but when you blow your candle out you hear this deep grunt/shriek like the sounds they make in karate - I don't know how else to describe it. Jesus. I jumped about 20 feet in the air. I think I screamed a little too. I'm not sure my heart can take this game.
I got tickets for Sheryl Crow next week - they had a $10 lawn seat sale, woot!
Still grinning like a fool at the thought of Colin and Ryan together in Montreal *happy sigh*
