Wii Update!
Oh noooooo… Apparently, my Wii is on the way already! The questions I had last night still persist in terms of the Wii Fit, as my status is now “backordered”, although trolling through various user forums to see what this … Continue reading
Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!! (Er… ?????)
So, um… I’m getting a Wii after all. And a Wii Fit. Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!! (Maybe) Ok, so I’m a couple of years behind the curve, and I swore I wasn’t going to give in, but… Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!! I haven’t had a game … Continue reading
Bad Grammar and Low-Quality Writing Alert!
When I make the mistake of going back and looking over what I’ve posted while on-the-road, as it were, I cringe at some of the obvious grammar mistakes and poor wording that shows up. I’m writing mostly on the fly … Continue reading
Travelogue, Day Whatever-the-Hell-This-Is, Copenhagen, Denmark to Wuppertal, Germany
It is 10:42 am. We – including our train – are on a ferry between somewhere in Denmark and somewhere in Germany. The train we are on (or, more specifically, above, at the moment) is about an hour late. I … Continue reading

Travelogue, Day 7: Turku

Travelogue, Day 6: Turku
Unfortunately, I’d written an entire post and then had it eaten because BloGTK doesn’t have an undo button (and I hadn’t saved, bah), so this is written after the fact. So sue me. Today Mr. T and I tried very … Continue reading
Travelogue, Day 5: Turku
I suppose we couldn’t have expected T to always be super-travel-baby, and last night was a rough one, first for me, and then mostly for Christian. Torsten fell mostly asleep about 9ish, but then for some reason was up at … Continue reading
