Me, V & Wii

Ok, so this past weekend was freakin' awesome. Vanessa got in at about 9:20 on Thursday night and myself and Chris picked her up at the airport. As soon as we got home we cracked a bottle of red wine and had at 'er. Funny enough, this was the only time we drank the entire weekend! I guess this marks the end of random drunk pics like this one.

Friday was marathon shopping day. I took the day off work and we hit the Halifax Shopping Centre at around 1:30. 6 hours later we were wiped and about $600 in the hole each. But it's not as bad you think. Vanessa bought a new suit for work which was about $400 and I got something for that exact amount as well. That's right. I finally got a Wii!

Vanessa went into EB Games to find a game for her boyfriend and I sheepishly asked if they had any Wiis in stock, knowing I'd probably be shot down like every other time I go there and ask. Surprisingly, the guy there said they did have some! But that they'd probably be sold out within the hour. I told him we would be there for a few hours and asked if he could hold on to one for me. He said he would if I was certain I would be buying it. Of course I said I was, so he bagged it up for me and set it aside.

The thing about the Wii is that it was supposed to be mine and Chris's Valentine's Day gifts to each other, we just haven't been able to find any in stock. I bought Zelda to go along with it and hatched a plan to show it to Chris. I called him from the mall and told him I bought something for him. When I got home I took Zelda out of the bag and handed it to him. I waited for that confused realization on his face that said "Why would she get me the game when we don't even have the system?" and then he looked at me and before he could say it, I whipped out the Wii box!

That night we were pretty exhausted so we excluded any festivities to dinner at Your Father's Moustache. I got what I get everytime I go there, the grilled chicken ceasar wrap with fries. (If it's not broke, don't fix it.) Vanessa got the steak and Chris hit a giant plate of ribs.

Saturday was shopping day #2! First we hit the Greek House for some breakfast and then we went to the "naughty stores" on Quinpool to pick up some stuff for Angela's bacherlorette party on Friday. All I have to say is that there's some pretty sick people out there! The kinds of things we saw in those stores could quite possibly turn us off from sex for the rest of our lives. I managed to pick up a few tame things and get the hell out.

We hit the Mic Mac Mall next. Who knew it had so many stores!? Thanks to the strategy we developed the day before, we tore through it in record time and didn't do quite as much damage to our bank accounts as the day before. We both got out of the whole thing with some great new clothes worth every penny. That night we hooked up with Vanessa's friend Erin and hit the theater to see Disturbia (more on that later in the week, and it won't be pretty!)

So that was pretty much the weekend. A careful analysis of my finances showed that I should recoup the weekend's losses after this coming payday so I shouldn't suffer too much for it. The Wii is awesome! I've had it for four days and it's already worth every penny I paid for it. I'm already over 8 hours into Zelda and I'm loving it. Now all we need is a new Wiimote so I can scall Chris's ass at Wii Tennis. More on that in the future!
