The ever-elusive Wii...




The Nintendo Wii...


For some reason I am getting the feeling that I am simply not meant to have it. Since acquiring the cash for one some 2 months ago, I have been unsuccessful in my hunt for a Nintendo Wii. As my mom put it today, after yet another failed attempt at buying one, "I am getting sick of playing 'this game.'" I couldn't agree more. I am a moment away from taking my cash and spending it on another, more readily available system, say for example, the Xbox 360?

Today was probably the CLOSEST I've ever gotten at getting one. I was 95% sure that Target was going to have them today, but since I had to do the lights at church today, I wasn't able to be there at opening time. So my mom agreed to do it for me, (thanks Mom!). Unfortunately, neither of us bothered to double check the opening time for Target on Sunday, and since in reality it was 8 AM, and we thought it was 10 AM...NO Wii for us. The Wiis sold out by 8:15 AM. Yes, they were gone in FIFTEEN MINUTES. 30 Wiis gone, in 15 minutes.

I am almost certain that Nintendo is making plenty of them, but is holding them, and only releasing a certain amount at a time, in order to build demand. Well, Nintendo, I've had quite enough. It's incredibly annoying, and I am slowly beginning to think I simply wasn't meant to have one.

But so, the search goes on.

This whole weekend has just been lazy. I didn't do a whole lot, but it was fine by me. Right now I am just sitting in my room watching Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark. Probably just about one of the greatest movies ever made. So I'm gonna get back to that.
