Subject: Mario Kart
Katti/Oliver bought Mario Kart Wii over the weekend. I are hooked.

I got my first sparks today. Blue and orange. I was proud of myself.

Picky thing one: blue shells show up a lot more than they used to. Maybe it is because I am in first place a lot more often but I never get one to throw at people, I only ever get them thrown at me. Every lap. Picky thing two: I oversteer and then overcorrect and then over the edge of the map I go. Stupid maps without walls. Stupid maps with walls, actually, messing up my sparks. Picky thing three: I am obsessed with those stupid sparks. They distract me from actually racing and I just focus on milking the drift for orange sparks.

For those with the game (Jason/Michelle), how in the world do I do the boost at the start? I have tried the Mario Kart 64 timing at the arm drop and it's not working. That is picky thing four.

I also suck at bikes. I need to practice more, I guess.

I still use Peach. I always have. Baby Peach gets used sometimes to because she is too darn cute.

Anyway, here is our Mario Kart friend code: 3652 1810 6619. This game is way fun, just frustrating. My New Year's resolution of not swearing is always put on hold as DK or stupid Mario go blowing past me.

I love you all.

P.S. Drafting? AWESOME.

P.P.S. Wario's mine level and DK's snowy retrofitted level SUCK. I hate them. I hate them like whoa.

P.P.P.S. We saw The Happening on Friday. I read what it was beforehand and was expecting horrible things. What did I get? A horrid movie. It was bad. And way too over the top. I just kept promising myself that if M. Night showed us one more person killing themselves, I was walking out. I stayed and just kept looking away and covering my ears. It was BAD. The people throwing themselves off of buildings made me think of September 11th and the thunking noise they made as they hit the ground made me want to throw up. The dialog was awful.

P.P.P.P.P.S. Hulk, on the other hand, was awesome. Nick is right, I am a closeted comic book fan. I am excited for Cap'n America's movie.

Hooray new icon! Hitler icon even!


Ahhhh, the ol' starter boost, eh? Yeah Jason & I had a little problem with that. We found out that you have to hold down 'go' when the counter gets to 2...like right before it changes to 1. We kept trying to get it right when the countdown ended, but it's different. So you actually start holding it while the 2 is still up.

We love the game rather passionately as well. Jason probably more so because he's the one who dedicates the innumerable hours toward it. But how fun is Mushroom Gorge...I'm mean that music

srsly.

Jason is ALWAYS Peach too. Mmm, gay.

Soooo I was going to go see the Happening in hopes that Night got his shit together after Lady in the Water, but it doesn't look promising. I also need to see Get Smart, Wall.e, and the X-Files. Holla summer!

holy comment.

First of all, ignore my girlfriend (except for the bit about the starting boost, that's on the up and up). :-P

If you are having trouble controlling, I'd recommend trying the Wiimote/Nunchuck setup. While the Wii Wheel is fun, I find the controls are much tighter with a more old-fashioned approach.

Also:
- Bikes are nice because you can do wheelies with them, which give you a slight boost.
- Koopa Cape and Grumble Volcano are two of my least favorite tracks.
- Finally, don't let anyone (including Michelle) tell you that Peach isn't tough enough. She can roll with the best, and I drive her with pinkish pride.
