zombies and mii

we ventured out into the general public today, since all the shops have re-opened and humans are back meandering up and down our street. the last few days have been nice and quiet, but it's felt a bit like being a george romero zombie flick--respectfully, minus the zombies. well, maybe a few zombies. we've been playing 'resident evil' on the wii, so i guess i have zombies on the mind. anyway, we went for a long walk and then pints of guinness in the local pub.

speaking of the wii, i'm hoping to add some pics of our wii miis (pronounced like 'me') later on. they're little cartoon avatars of whomever you want. we've been trying to create enough miis for our nintendo baseball teams. if you don't have enough miis, you're stuck with computer generated people, and they're too boring. so, we have miis of ourselves and any other pictures or dvd covers we have lying around: jeeves and wooster (fry and laurie's versions), my nephew, bjork (created by accident whilst i was trying to re-create punky brewster), and jerri blank, mr noblet and mr jellineck from 'strangers with candy.' we got a card from grandma and her roommate dorothy today, so i'm afraid our task for this evening is to re-create them in mii form as well. i bet they're both wicked switch hitters.

I was thinking halfway thru reading that "I should send her a Jerri Blank pic to use."
Now I think I'm some kind of psychic zombie who wants cake. They all want cake.

I forgot to add that you then have to give me your wii number so I can add you to my address book or else it won't work.

hey cool, i'll look ours up today. we're adding members of the 4077th now. god, wii miis rule.

If you're connected to the internet (and if you haven't already done so) look in the wii store...there's a free download for a channel called Check Mii Out. If you download it, you can post the Miis you made for other people to vote on and download to their Wiis, and you can download theirs. There are also topic specific contests (the one right now is for a baby new year).

Preston made a mii of a Chinese kung fu master that's proven pretty popular.

cool! thanks for the tips--we're finally updating the mii now (taking forever!), and connecting to internet.
