I succumbed
Dec. 20th, 2008 09:31 pmI bought a Nintendo Wii. It'd fab, even if I'm deeply rubbish at the games. 9 shots for a 3 par hole in the golf! Even Rodney would be mocking me. The cow racing is loads of fun, as is shooting aliens. I just spent a hour playing the Wii Sports and actually worked up a bit of a sweat. Terrible really, how unfit I am. But, that's part of the plan for the Wii. I'm going to buy a Wii fit board after Christmas (when I hope there will actually be some in the shops) because I'm way more likely to use that than join a gym.
It did make me want to write a Wii Atlantis story. I think John and Ronon would like the sick humour of Destroy all Humans, you just know Teyla will be an ace at SSX Blur and Rodney would hate playing Big Brain Academy in case he didn't win.
My folks, my brother and his girlfriend are coming over tomorrow so they can all have a play. I'm sure my bro has already had a go of someone's but Dad should enjoy himself, as long as he doesn't put his back out. Mum can't really have a go as she can't see. Mind you I think she'd probably get as high a score as me as I'm crap. And she can use the force. She used to manage to throw a rolled up dish cloth at trouble makers across the class room when she was teaching craft classes just aiming from their voices.
For lunch I'm making a tuna wellington as my brother and his girlfriend don't eat meat. She doesn't eat onions or garlic either which is a nightmare. I've made the mushroom pate part already with some chestnut and prorchini mushrooms so I can assemble them tomorrow after I steam the spinach. I think I'll do individual ones rather than one large one, mainly because I've got small-ish pieces of tuna steak. I've also made cocoa snaps (like ginger snaps but with cocoa) and I'm going to make a tangerine mousse to go with them. I shall let you know how it goes.
