Christmas comes early

Hey to the reader,

Been a while, but better late than never I guess. I've had some great times in the past weeks, and am eager to tell you guys all about them. I'll start at the beginning. Two weeks ago, our school had an occasional day (day off) on which I rekindled my love for snowboarding, and went to an awesome birthday party - the props go to Simon on that one.
Here's a pic of the winning team (our team):
I have also been to another great party recently, my friend Patrick had a house party, in which we all had to go as something beginning with the letter P. I went as a pimp. Here are some pictures from the party:

There were some great outfits and cool music, thanks to Patrick for letting us effectively trash his house!

I have also been to see the awesome Tenacious D movie, along with Casino Royale. I recommend them to anyone who likes action and has a sense of humour. Daniel Craig is probably the best Bond in the best Bond film yet.
I have also been counting down to the release of the Nintendo Wii (today), however, in the past few days, something much more important made me almost totally forget about that.

For an extremely long time, I have had feelings for a girl. Not just any girl. This is the sort of girl that blows you away, literally. She is visually stunning, but once you have picked your jaw up off the floor and start listening to what she has to say, you become even more amazed. I have talked with her for hours and not got bored, and there came a point where I realised that as close as I was being her friend, it could be so much more. After two days of trying and failing to tell her my feelings, I met her surprisingly, and just couldn't keep it a secret any longer. Her initial shock was worrying at first, but then I saw a smile break upon her face. That smile told me everything. Now, we're together, and I don't think I've ever been happier. That's why this post is dedicated to Steff.

Unfortunately, now I have to yield a little. My geeky side wants to do a review of the Nintendo Wii. So here goes, I'll try and make it brief.
Here's the box what you'll find inside:

I ripped the box open as if my life depended on it, and I was not disappointed.

These are the controllers I have. They are comfortable to hold, easy to get to grips with and really responsive.

These are the games I got. Originally, I didn't order Wii play, but the extra controller I got with the console came with this as well!

Here's the moneyshot of the little beauty. I can imagine this going well in any room in the house. It works like a charm, with no lag that I can see, and the whole thing is just brilliant.

Verdict: I think this is the best Nintendo console yet, and will continue to amaze me. It's not gimmicky, it is a whole new breakthrough in gaming. Buy one, or miss out.

As you can see, I've had a great time these past few weeks, and Christmas is yet to truely arrive. If you'll excuse me, I'm off to play some Zelda...

Best Wishes, and love to a special someone,
