"You're doing really well in college, and we're all proud of you."

And they bought me a Wii. Even my kid sister chipped in some money (she's a model, by the way.) I have about $300 I set aside for eventually buying a console, and they know it. And yet, they still bought one for me.

I hooked it up in the living room, and it must have seen eight hours of play today, even though we just have Wii Sports and Wii Play. It's definitely a hit. I think I'll be putting some of that saved money toward a couple of games. Y'know, maybe for the family.
