perky little Big Brother

The Wii Fit totally tried to get me to rat [livejournal.com profile] mirrorthaw out tonight.

Watch out! He may be the Red Peril!

I'm actually more upset when it tells me that my friends' birthdays are coming up and then asks if I'm throwing a party. I swear it sounds like it's angling for an invite or something.

Both my mother and then after several weeks my brother have stopped using the Wii Fit because it kept asking after them. And then it would be too much like going to class for the first time after skipping a month, and would be awkward. My mom is still kind of intimidated.

(I have been dying to tell you this story for weeks now, and I'm so glad there I finally got to.)

Heh. My husband came to bed one night and said, "You know, the Wii Fit board was asking after you." It was mildly disconcerting. I'm more upset when it asks me if I've eaten breakfast yet when I do yoga in the morning. No, I haven't, because for some reason I can't eat for the first couple of hours after I've gotten up, and quit the seemingly innocent questions because I *know* you're up to something, you creepy little overeager piece of inanimate technology.

Haven't gotten the birthday one yet.

Wow. You know, if I have to have a personal trainer asking me prying questions, I at least want one who looks cute in shorts.

Uh, this is totally irrelevant, but I'm itching to know- Have I succeeded in bidding the four lovely signed books from Con or Bust? If so, how do I make my donation? :P

I don't believe anyone topped your final bid. The info page (http://community.livejournal.com/con_or_bust/profile) for [livejournal.com profile] con_or_bust provides the other necessary information.

I can't get over how the Wii-Fit is like Japanese society in a little white plastic package.

The part I dislike is its inability to learn--or maybe it thinks I'm incapable of learning, what with the "weigh yourself twice while holding an object the second time" thing. I already knew this before I bought you, silly Wii, and I certainly know it now, after nine months!
