The good news is I now have a working copy of the Wii Link's Crossbow training. The bad news is I had to shell out to buy it all over again, but whatev. It seemed preferable to spending the rest of my life puzzling over the mystery of why it works on my neighbor's console and not mine, even after my otherwise last hope of an online update.
I also just spent probably more time than I should have creating Harry and Snape Miis. I can't wait for Tery to see them.
And Me Mii:
I also got some of my Snape paraphernalia. First, something I came across while wandering on eBay and HAD to have:
This is actually a pencil drawing (or a print of the drawing, but it feels original) by artist Andrew Fry, despite looking like a photo. I just wish the orangutans at the post office could read the instructions written in huge letters "DO NOT BEND." You can see the bend in the bottom right corner.
I also got the NECA resin statue:
This photo proves that lighting can make all the difference. He actually doesn't look this nice in regular sunlight.
Hopefully these will satisfy my hunger for awhile.

Tery's home in Connecticut for 2 weeks, which means lots and lots of movies are being watched in her absence. A few I think are worthy of my comments.
First, the lesser ones. I'm cutting for length, not spoilers (except Watchmen, and I put a big warning in just in case):
Day Watch (this one's short and sweet): The follow-up to Night Watch, by Russian director Timur Bekmambetov, and even more incoherent. Remember the first one when I fell asleep and regretted trying to finish it anyway? Tery came in 30 minutes into Day Watch and watched a bit. I said, "If you're confused, don't feel bad. I am too and I watched it from the beginning." I made it to the 1-hour mark and it still wasn't half done, which is when I decided I'd had enough.
Timur has a very pretty, showy style. He was behind Wanted (which I loved) and the upcoming 9 which also looks visually distinctive. As far as a plot that makes sense (with the exception of Wanted), he's got a bit to learn.
( ::Ghost Town:: )
Funny, moving, and ample footage of Central Park, which is why I think Tery might like this.
( ::Bruno:: )
This wasn't meant to make fun of gays, it was meant to shock and offend the straights. Except we've been doing that all on our own just by existing.
( ::Choke:: )
Instant purchase. I was thoroughly unprepared for how much I loved this movie.
Another one that falls firmly in this category, and no one was more surprised than me, is Watchmen.
( ::Who watches the Watchmen?:: )
Heed my warning about the generous allowance for pauses. Although unless you watch it with friends (or fanboys) who are complete fascists, it probably won't be an issue.
