buy me a present?

the nintendo dsi comes out on around april 5th, just in time for my birthday. it has an improved screen, a web browser and for still unclear reasons two cameras. there are other enhancements, i’m not really that interested in an sd card slot or music storage. truth be told the main reason i want it is because i’m a huge nerd when it comes to nintendo products.

rhythm tapping.

i am a pretty big nintendo fanboy, i can usually get behind anything  they produce. wii fit has proven to be a great addition to the wii. i am not to sure about let’s tap, while i am a fan of the rhythm games, i love elite beat agents. but tapping on a box?

images from the blur.

since my trip to new york went by in a blink, my only memories are connected to the few photos i took.

the mysterious falling coat hangers at the edison hotel.

the scientology center near the hotel that juan and i almost went into to get our thetan levels tested. would the brownies juan made mess up the results?

late night new york pizza, it really dosen’t get much better.

great vegetarian food, i’ve walked by this place many times and never even thought about going in, my  friend leslie here in portland recommended the place. juan and i had a quick lunch there with keight and erika.

part of the fantastic vegan bakery case at lifethyme natural market. erika brought us here, it was right across the street from gobo. they had and amazing array of vegan and raw foods. i had the vegan tiramasu, it was amazing.

two beers at a time at mcsorley’s, you can get light or dark. this place is a trip. erika apparently knows all the fun places to go. mcsorley’s was one of the last pubs in new york to allow women in, they still put fresh sawdust on the floor.

i finally made it to the nintendo world store at rockefeller center. being a nintendo fanboy this was kind of a nerdy dream of mine. i am usually with groups of people and have always been a little ashamed to drag them to it, i had a couple of hours to myself before i had to head to the airport, so i took the chance to go. while they didn’t have the huge selection i thought they would, they did have some good finds. i had no idea this game even existed.

i can’t wait to dig up oombliods with my golden shovel.

yay! animal crossing if finally coming to wii on november 16th. this means that morgan and i will probably be unreachable till sometime after the new year.

there is something amazingly addictive about this game. there is no way to properly describe the joy of setting up your little house, running errands for the townfolks, chopping down trees, visiting nook’s store, and designing fabrics for my outfits. i should also mention the calming effects of the gentle looped guiter strummed soundtrack.

mesmerizing.

thanks to geekologie for pointing this out.

workout robots.

if i get this, who will come over and act like a strange aerobic cyborg?

i especially like the woman dancing next to guy doing the step dancing, she is really getting her groove on.

same commercial, just a lot funnier.
