Birthday Penguins, Wii, & TPN
Current mood: hungry
Yesterday was a kick ass day! I celebrated my sister's 21th birthday last night in da see-tay and got a Wii.
Dre woke me up with a call at 5:45 am. He and Alexis were camping outisde the Nintendo Store for their Wii. He asked if I wanted a Wii and I told him to get it. A little after 8AM he told me got the Wii for me. I had 3 hours of sleep prior to the call and couldn't sleep after. Sucks to have sleeping problems.
Crissy and I went out for some lunch, and shopped at the closing Tower Records. We went to the IMAX in Lincoln Center to see Happy Feet, it was awesome. I liked the music but some of it imo did not flow right together. After awhile I was saying STFU!! Then Robin Williams (Ramon) came in and sang in spanish with the "thraa thraa!" it was hilarious. The IMAX screen is incredible. There were a few times where I had to pull back and go "Whoa! That's so pretty!" I love how they incorporated real people with the CG. Overall, it's a fun movie.
Afterwards, we went to FAO Schwartz and met up with Anthony. Crissy bought a large stuffed baby Emperor Penguin there. She's a hardcore penguin fan.
We kidnapped Anthony and took him to TPN. Crissy wanted a DS Lite and the New Super Mario Bros. so we stopped by EBGames. There we met up with Quan and Jennifer. As usual the group was there with their PSP's. This was Crissy's first official TPN meetup. One guy came all the way from Philly for the meetup. He's a cool dude. Everyone loved Crissy's Penguin. It's a large cuddly penguin, perfect for hugging. It's quite humorous to see metal heads dress it with bracelets and Naruto bands, and then hug it. Buddha (as my sister calls him) was the star of the night. Instantly, he became the official TPN mascot. Luckily we were able to pry off fingers and take him home.

When it was time to say goodbye, I left with Dre to his car. He had the Wii in it's Nintendo World bag. A had already prepared for this and brought a Hot Topic bag for concealment. It fit perfectly over the Nintendo World bag. We said our goodbyes to Dre and Alexis, stopped by Starbucks for some Iced Green Tea, (Strawberry Frap for Cris) and then went home. We were home by 10:30 pm and I was asleep shortly after midnight. I made sure I turned the sound off my cell so that I could sleep.
I made up for the sleep I lost so I am quite happy. Unfortunately I cannot open the Wii until X-Mas Eve... My mother insisted to buy it for us this Chirstmas. Oh well, guess I will playing at my friends house until then. Today I am purchasing another controller for my Wii. I'll make a Mii on it for when I visit my friends. Mom still wants a Christmas list from me and my family. For those who are interested here is my Christmas Wishlist. (I'm looking at you CJ. lol) I can't believe it's filled with Nintendo.
