Reading Week? More like Reading Wii-k! Reading? Weak!

2008_02_11_GuitarHero.jpg

Pete, Ash and I are in Barrie at my Dad's house, playing Wii, eating stuff, and drinking Canadian Light. This is exactly how I wanted to spend my Reading Week. Minus the Canadian Light, obviously.

I've been looking for Guitar Hero for Wii for the last two months: it's nearly impossible to find downtown. Today, Ash and I went to the Walmart on Bayfield to look for crazy carpets (!!!) and decided to check the electronics section to see if they had Guitar Hero in stock. We looked around, didn't see anything, and continued our search for toboggans. I was distracted by the shelves of cleaning products and Rubbermaid bins, but I heard a voice come onto the PA...

"Could....muffle muffle.... Guitar Hero...Wii...electronics department..."

I turned to Ash and asked, "Did you just hear them say something about Guitar Hero for Wii?"

"I think you're having wishful thinking auditory hallucinations, Karen."

So we continued looking around until we realized that Walmart inexplicably does not carry more than one kind of shitty toboggan in the wintertime (what's with that?). I was like, "Do you think we could stop by the electronics department and ask whether or not I'm insane before we leave?" I asked the video games clerk guy, and―SHAZAM―he opened a cardboard box to reveal FIVE Wii Guitar Heroes.

Screw tobogganing, tonight I'm going to rock!

Best. Headline. Ever.

Actually, my true moment of headline brilliance was for the Parkdale Arts and Crafts Festival:

"Get Rich or Die Knitting," or "I've Got 99 Problems and a Stitch Ain't One"

That was a good day.
