WF: Oh... change is always so much more exciting, don't you think? Maybe you're just not paying enough attention to Spidey! On a side note, did you know that dogs become more motivated when their owners pay more attention to them?

If you submit "Jilli" for "Spidey", our Wii Fit said the exact same thing to me 2 days ago.

I was amused, until the follow-up comment about dogs. Are you comparing my relationship with my wife to one with a pet dog, WF? You looking for a kickin'?

move out and draw fire

Woe: DH's drum pedal snapped in half while playing Rock Band.

This was just moments after he said that he might be getting bored with his avatar. Coincidence?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I'm now scared of Wii's after reading these posts.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm mildly reassured to learn that the Wii of Reason has similarly odd personality quirks to mine.

Today I became a professional penguin slider! I note that there is a rank above mine. What's next? Master? Champion? God of all Penguins?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Were I designing this, my ranks would likely be Jackass Penguin Slider, Royal Penguin Slider, King Penguin Slider and Emperor Penguin Slider.

And Yellow-Eyed Penguin Slider, just because I like the way it sounds.

See, I'd go with Macaroni, Chinstrap, Rockhopper, and Erect Crested Penguin Slider.

You know how the wii fit says that while working out you should visualize your ideal body? I wonder how many of us are visualizing a body that is possible to achieve.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

My sister's going to give me her Wii when she comes home from China next weekend. I am *so* stoked.

But I do not think I will be getting a Fit. They sound pretty obnoxious.

I think it's obnoxious in a way that is fun to make fun of. I can't deny that I am losing weight and gaining muscle.
