Life is Good

ah, so my first day post-work, I woke up at 12:45. So much for idea that I will hold onto the "early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise" mantra all the way into college. But I found myself a pretty legitimate excuse... I have to go tutor someone in a few hours so today technically still is a "working day," so me getting up so late can be classified as "getting up in time for work." aha!

Anyway, being at home still doesn't allow me the fascinating stories of my blog colleagues. Instead, all I can report on is the awesomeness of Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Oh, and the brilliance of my brother. So first night he's back, we're setting up the Wii, but much to our disappointment, the system won't read any of the discs! We figure that maybe the Wii got banged around too much in the airplane or something...and we're all pretty annoyed/bummed. After several trials and unsuccessful attempts to revive the Wii, the rest of the family gives up and goes upstairs. In comes the knight in shining armor, the galliant prince, the fearless hero, Chuck Norris' nightmare.....dun dun dun, Andrew!!!! With a stroke of genious, he races downstairs, pries open the SSM Brawl case with his strength of a tiger, summons the TV and the Wii on, and skillfully manuvers the game into the system....with the label facing the right (the correct way, which we hadn't dont before). And the Wii obeys, crises averted, day saved.

To his credit, Justin wasn't nearly as fussy as I would have imagined when he thought the system broke. And he quickly proceeded to cream the newbie in smash, but hey--I'm still pretty proud of my ingenuity. I wonder if that can go on my resume.

Too bad this "genious" can't "manuver" the spelling of "genius."

Trash-talking aside -- when should I come over to play??? :)

ahh, stupid spelling. But come over anytime...the Wii is leaving on Wednesday though :(
