wii're shipping off soon

Today is a big day. Not only will I be able to start using my own internet connection, but I will be the proud owner of a Nintendo Wii. The ankle is still a bit twitchy so this is yet another grand reason to not leave the house. That is, until I depart for the homeland on Monday morning. I absolutely cannot wait to do nothing all next week in dial-up internet land. I heard though, that they finally put a starbucks in the area. So if it's like every other starbucks on the planet, it'll have wifi. Fingers crossed. I hope to come back with copious amounts of thrift store booty, my NES games, an olde BMX bike and a whole new lease on life. Well, yeah. What?

And, uh muh gawd. Does this country really have THAT bad of a collective problem with sleeping? Since I've subscribed to DirectTv, I've seen more sleep aide and sleep number bed commercials than I care to mention. Fuck. The weight loss commercials I get, cause hello, America is fat. But not sleeping either? Could it be that's WHY they're overweight? I dunno. People are lazy but can't sleep a whole night's through. Tough gig. Jeez, makes me realize how effin' fortunate I am that I don't suffer from either problem and am smart enough to prevent it with diet and exercise-- well, the exercise part after my ankle heals but you get the point. Argh.
