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

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.

I have no problem with this - I visualize Jared Padalecki.

Sometimes I wonder whether the wii means to inhabit or to seduce but I think Linda Hamilton circa Terminator 2 satisfies both those requirements... on the other hand I think I'm dreaming if I really believe I could ever look like that.

OK, I'm with you there. And it's attainable within the parameters of normal human possibility.

How do you work your arms on the Wii Fit? Pushups?

ETAXpost from Movies:

I did just play the demo game on Xbox, first as Rorschach (who apparently farts as his special combat power - the DH rolled his eyes and said "I cast Stinking Cloud"), and then as Nite Owl. Mal, behind me, said "It's Batman! Mom, let's watch Batman beat up bad guys!"

However, the game is just another stupid button-masher.

There are a lot of ways to work your arms with the wii fit, there are push ups, tricep extensions, a couple of yoga moves, and I lurve rhythm boxing.
