Haha, already on Week 2? Feels like I just wrote the first one yesterday! Oh well, time for the updates.

Besides doing what I mentioned last week, I've been reading a lot lately. While it is enjoying, another reason is that I need to read books to get points for my English class on a thing called Accelerated Reader. Basically we read books that have the AR sticker on the side, and once we're finished with them, take a test on one of the school computers. The only problem I've had is finding books that are both enjoyable and worth a decent amount of points, but I've been getting it done.

I'm still watching Scrubs and House, but I've also, of course, been watching the NBA Playoffs! Aside from the Chicago/Boston and Philadelphia/Orlando series, the rest have been blowouts. Not the most exciting thing to watch. I've been really impressed with Derek Rose. Give him another year or two, and he might be mentioned with names like Chris Paul and Deron Williams.

I also got my Nintendo DSi on Friday, and I've been really happy with it so far. Prior to this I owned the original DS, which in my mind was always a pretty well-made device, but the DSi has made me realize its flaws. First off, I love the Matte finish on the DSi. It looks nice, doesn't have marks all over it when you use it, and you can't get anything noticable on it unless you're really uncareful.

The screen difference is also noticable. The sizes of the screens on the DSi have received a noticable face lift, and it makes it a lot easier to play it without it being weary on the eyes.

I haven't gotten an opportunity to mess with the DSi Shop or the Web Browser yet, but as soon as I can connect my DSi to an internet source I'll inform on that. The camera, the biggest addition to the DSi, isn't spectacular in any way, but it works well enough, and it is definitely a lot of fun using the different options (the distortion can be really hilarious, though I noticed it's also kind of creepy on some pics). I'll be sure to post some pictures using my DSi in the future so you guys can see the quality for yourselfs.

The DSi also records sound, which can be pretty fun as well. I haven't messed around with it too much, but I could forsee it being something fun to do if you're really bored.

All told, the DSi is pretty awesome. The battery life might be a little lower than I'd like, and the face buttons (A, B, X, Y) are a little too small for my taste, but I kinda hate the placement of the start and select button. Other than that, the DSi is a great handheld, and for those who don't have a DS yet, and don't have a big GBA library or just don't care about being able to play GBA titles, the you can't go wrong with the DSi.

Well, that's pretty much it for me this week. Prom is coming up this Saturday... I'm really nervous, but a little excited as well. I'm hoping that all goes off without a hitch, because I'd rather not make an ass of myself!
