Wii Are #1
With a lifetime of less than half the Xbox 360, Wii has taken the lead in global sales. I won’t say I told you so. Whoops…
Broken Bat
Last night during our softball game, a guy on the other team broke his aluminum bat. The thing split right down the middle and half of it flew past third base. That’s not something you see everyday.

We’re Getting a New Car! [Updated]
One way or another, we’ll have our very own Saturn Aura XR by the end of the month. Since we’re getting rid of Amber’s truck, she’ll be the lucky one driving it every day, but I think it’s safe to say that my car will be retired as primary trip vehicle. We’re trying to see if we can sell the truck privately and get a little more than the trade-in value the dealer offered. We’ll give it a few weeks and see if there is any interest. If we can’t sell it, we’ll just go for the trade-in at the end of the month. So if you know anyone who might want a Blue ’98 Dodge Dakota, let me know or just have them search Craigslist Madison.
This pic looks exactly like ours from the outside. This is the real one.
A few more pictures of the car.
And if you haven’t seen it already, go check out the Metroid Retrospective videos over at GameTrailers.com and get pumped up for Metroid Prime 3: Corruption on 8/28.

It’s the Little Things
Amber was flipping through some old stuff from school and found something interesting today. I was sitting at the computer and she asked me what semester she took her art class in. I remembered immediately that it was a Thursday night class in the Fall because it was when we first started dating (plus she was student teaching in the Spring, so it couldn’t have been then). I asked why she wanted to know, and she showed me a page out of her sketchbook from sometime early in the semester with the words “Amber Monroe” written at the top of the page. Keep in mind, we met for the first time on August 16th and had our first date on the 18th. We didn’t start talking about getting married until about the beginning of December.
I think it’s hilarious. She’s embarrassed because she got caught.
Guitar Zero
I found a guy at work willing to let me borrow his PS2, Guitar Hero, and Guitar Hero II (I know, I was surprised, too) and that pretty much sums up my performance so far. I made it through about the first dozen tracks on Medium without too much trouble. Then I hit Stellar by Incubus. I really love the song, but man is it ever kicking my ass. I dropped down to Easy and had no trouble, but I’ve only been able to finish it once on Medium and I was dangerously close to losing it. Typing feels so awkward right now…
Anyway, I’ve got the games for probably about a week and a half. I figured it would be a good way to tide myself over until Guitar Hero III comes out for Wii later this year. These are the first games I’ve really played since I spent basically half of the month of May in Seattle. I’ve been neglecting the Wii which is pretty sad considering I still haven’t finished Red Steel or Super Paper Mario. I’m sure I’ll pick one of them up again after I have to give back the guitar.
