owie...
so now i know why i've been in such a mood lately. it's my time of the month. faaantaaaastic. XP
so before cramps kick in and take over. few things~
last thursday, like some kinda miracle or something... my parents and i were driving down to Walnut, and my dad had heard from one of our relatives that there were still Wiis available at Electronics Fry's. and there's one on the way to Walnut from LA, so as we were approaching the exit for it on the freeway my dad goes "hey, let's go see if they have the Wii." and i was just like "they're sold out everywhere, they probably don't." but he insists, and my mom's all for checking the place out too, and we were supposed to buy a Wii game for my cousin's birthday anyway, so we went on in. we made a bet, too. i bet against the Wii being there, my dad bet for it.
weirdly enough, we didn't find the game he wanted (Naruto - Clash of the Ninja: Revolution, which we later found in Circuit City and oh, drives me nuts with frikkin' "BELIEVE IT!" being thrown around all over the place). and so i was like "haha, i win the bet, fork over your $5." we still hung around though, seeing what else was there and stuff. i'd never been in a Fry's store before. it was bloody huuuuge!! they've got like, everything in there. books, CDs, appliances, games, magazines... it was quite amazing. so anyway, eventually i decided to get volumes 13 and 14 of Fullmetal Alchemist and my mom bought a pack of CD sleeves. so i go to the counter, and i pay, and as i'm leaving the counter, i see 2 people carrying Wii boxes.
i had to do a double take. and then i had to find my dad, so i started calling for him. and when i told him what i saw, we followed the trail, and it was just like OMGWTFBBQ FRY'S YOU ARE SELLING THEM. as it turned out, they'd just gotten a shipment in the night before, and by the time i had discovered it approximately 1:22pm, they were down to their last 2 or 3 bundles. and since my dad had previously promised he'd get me one for my birthday, whether it was early or belated or what, and so... he did. thing is, they weren't selling just the console. they were selling it in bundles, that included: the console itself and all the stuff with it, Super Mario Galaxy, Namco Museum, WiiPlay (with extra Wiimote), a nunchuck, a classic controller, a better sensor bar, better A/V cables, and a pack of those things you attach to the Wiimote to enhance your WiiSports experience.
...of course, that threw the price waay way up. so i believe we bought it for a solid $530. +tax. and some CD that my mom picked out last minute. so right then and there, we coughed up $600. ...we coulda got a PS3 with that money. XD
still. i am shocked and amazed by what happened. :D
in other news! i have now borrowed .hack//G.U. vol.2 Reminiscence and got a brand spankin' new copy of Tales of the Abyss, so i'm getting dually assaulted by the voices of Yuri Lowenthal and Johnny Yong Basch, and it's quite entertaining. XD
also: leaving for Washington D.C. to visit my sister on Sunday night. we're gonna be there for.. pretty much, the rest of my vacation. the second i get back, i'm already starting school. which kinda blows, but oh well. can't do anything about it. ...well, technically, i could cut. but my parents being in town makes that difficult.
and SPEAKING of school. GOOD GRIEF. my schedule for this winter quarter is insane. my parents forced me just to jump into the classes and figure out how the hell i'm gonna be getting around afterward. aren't my parents amazing sometimes? gah. but anyway... as it stands, i'm not gonna be able to make it to Chapman as often as i'd like. unless i get my driver's license soon (i now have a new permit! yay!). maybe twice between the start of January and the end of March, because that's how many times i'm allowed to skip a class without penalty. ...unless they don't take attendance. in which case... we will see. :P i mean geez, the only class i've got on Thursday, and of course it's gotta run from 4:30 to 7:30. people are insane.
so... argh. the cramps have assaulted. they have wonderful timing. i'm gonna go assault my PS2 again now, kthxbai. :)
