Okay, so I'm sitting here watching TV. The story line is that there's this psycho psychiatrist out there who's killing his patients.
All of them have certain phobias that they were trying to overcome. He tells them that he can help them, but instead kills them using the very thing that they fear.
All of his victims are newcomers to the city, having moved away to a place where they have no family and no connections, trying to make a new start for themselves. Making them especially vulnerable.
And what city are they all newcomers to?
Portland.
Moral of the story: therapist are teh ebil.

About the Wii...
Played Wii Sports for the first time this weekend. I've had it since I got the system (all of... like, 3 weeks), but never took the time to try it out. Was much too distracted by the novelty of running around swinging a sword and shooting things with arrows while wearing a stylish green floppy hat.
But finally did get around to trying out the game that came with the system. And truly, it is fun. Silly fun. Something that you'd only want to play around open-minded people who understand the geekiness of bouncing around and gesturing wildly while playing a video game version of tennis. Or worrying about the follow-through of your swing with a virtual baseball bat.
It's fun. Really fun. And pretty intuitive to control. And it's not really something you can play while sitting on your ass. You want to be up and moving, even if it's just to go through the motions of stepping up to fling a digital bowling ball down a non-existent lane towards imaginary pins.
The only game I haven't tried on it is golf. And I think I'll just leave it at that. Rather not end up flinging my Wii-mote out the window while cursing the screen, thank-you-very-much.
Next up: Smash Brothers. (And yes, Torias, I'll be bringing it with me when I come to visit, unless Nintendo delays the release date of the game)
