The Twilight Report

Wii

I am now the proud owner of a Nintendo Wii. It was a hit. Not just with me, but also with the family. Mum and Don both tried it out and all along the way nanna was coaching.

“Don’t move your hips!”

“Follow through on your swing!”

und so weite.

Then when Don got up to play nanna yelled at him to get out the way and not block her view. This, from my grandma, who hates computers, any form of technology and anything new.

Tennis is my favourite. Golf and bowling are okay, but baseball is terribly dull lacking any out fielding. Tomorrow I am going to see if I can snag Twilight Princess and an extra controler and the real gamming will begin :)

The Show

Yesterday, I went to the Sydney Royal Easter Show (or "The Show" in common speech) with my mum. From what I had heard over the years, it's sort of like a really big state fair, although granted, mostly what I have heard about the show is how the "show bags" aren't as good as they used to be. Mum seemed to take offence at such a characterization, because what makes The Show special is the scale of the thing (to wit: really big), and after spending a day at The Show, I have to admit The Show is special. (Show Details...) I'd do it again next year. I took lots of pictures. There are some more here: http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/media/060410/
