Or so Wayne says...

First, I finished rereading Half-Blood Prince.

Cut for spoilers...just in case. )

Riding? What style, English (as I assume) or...?

Western, actually. :-) The guy I ride with isn't really dogmatic about styles (he's ridden at national levels on both English and Western), but he definitely tends toward Western.

Ah, okay. My mother did English and dressage, even though she sometimes rode Western style (especially for things like trail rides), so I know only a few things.

Dude, I remember when that spoiler first launched.XD

Ytmnd.com was SPAMMED so HARD with GIFs and soundbytes.:D
My favorite was where they photoshopped their heads onto Aeris and Sephiroth!! XD

So you improved your riding again? That's good to hear. I know you say you didn't, but improving control seems just as important as learning new things.

And, your evil is still there. That must mean you're alright.

Why are you hypocritical for buying a Wii? Although, it pales in comparison to the 360... you do seem to like cutesy games more often than not, so maybe you're fine. You and buying gadgets!!! Addict! As long as you don't expect Wii Fit to be miracle weightloss, you should be fine. I hear the hula hoop game is brutal though, if you really get into it.

How in the hell is that a boring day?

I bet it was VEGGIE PIZZA. Muahahaha. Well, in all seriousness, I don't eat meat on my pizza. Like, ever. I don't like pepperoni or ham or sausage on mine. Sometimes chicken.:D

It was pretty darn funny, wasn't it?

Yeah... I was going to argue that I didn't improve it, but I think it really was improvement. I think when you realize where you're making mistakes and then fix it, it's definitely improvement. Maybe the best kind, even though it isn't always dramatic.

I feel like I've criticized it a lot (and I stand by the criticisms in a lot of cases), but I'm very curious! It could be fun. And I'm not expecting a lot from Wii Fit, but it'll be a good way of moving around a little when I wouldn't otherwise.

I do like gadgets. I don't realize how much I like them until I actually get them. I usually just get curious!

It was. Actually, it was just mushrooms...that's all I had and I didn't want cheese pizza.

Pfft. I own one and I bash it to hell.:)
So you're fine.

Like Steph said in our argument, I'm just a "disgruntled dorky hardcore gamer", and Nintendo will never care about me because there's a huge casual market to be had with the Wii. And so, I just kind of accepted that. It's true.:P

Wii Fit probably isn't THAT bad. I don't know about that price tag though.:P

Your gadget/new stuff to buy thing is cute though. I mean, if you can, why not? I know I'd be buying a lot more if I could just to try it.

Finally, someone else who likes mushrooms on pizza. You'd think it'd be common, but all my friends crack on me for it. And I never get to get them when we pitch in for pizza. But I always win the no pepperoni and no sausage battle! I can't stand that stuff on my pizza. My favorite pizza toppings are probably onions, peppers, and broccoli, and stuff. Isn't that weird?

Though I do mutilate the occasional meat for taco pizza.:D

I think you're dead right on the Wii. I can't necessarily blame them for that, but I wonder if it's a smart decision. I think it's great that Nintendo is smart enough to focus on that niche of the market (which has previously been ignored), but that segment is notoriously fickle and will happily jump on the next big thing. What's going to happen when the hardcore gamers have gone over to the 360?

I wish I could share my new toys with you. It would be a lot more fun that way.

We'd get along great with pizza. Tomatoes are good on it, too, I think, but canned tomatoes are almost better. You have to drain it. I often get a plain cheese pizza frozen and then just add whatever topping I think will be good.

I'll bet you could make a good taco pizza with veggie crumbles.
