Wii're on the road again

So, we bought a Wii (which is much more fun to say out loud) and it's pretty sweet. Even Jen plays it, so I pretty much have the most awesome wife ever. We had to search for it on Sat, eventually finding out that Best Buy would get some on Sunday morning, so we got there a little early, had to wait in line for about 30 min, and then it was mine!
Also in the news, my friend, Gerry, is in the middle of a cross county drive to Floriday, taking the roundabout way, and is posting lots of pics about it each night of his trip, pretty neat stuff, you should check it out at http://www.moneysocal.blogspot.com

Where's ET going to phone to?

Well, went to look at our first condo on Sunday. It was weird, because it was nice, it was a nice price, most of the things that we didn't really like about it were fixable, neighborhood looked good, but it was the first one. You can't get the first one you look at, right? But we don't even know what questions to ask about it to determine if it's good for us or not. Just an odd feeling. Plus, do we even want to do it? There's pretty much no chance for us to be able to have Jen stay home with potential babies, which we would like, but do we want to have babies in a place with a shared washer and dryer that both leave marks on our clothes? Do we want to deal with all the hand washing of dishes, more than we usually deal with without having a dishwasher? If we try to find a better place to rent though, we'd end up spending not too much less than we would if we bought one of the cheaper condos, and then not have the tax breaks that homeownership comes with.
Ugh, this whole thing is pretty frustrating. It kinda feels like either way we choose, we lose in one way or another.

It's a wonderful town?

We've set the date for our vacation this year, right at the beginning of July. Off for a whirlwind tour of New York, Boston, and Cape Cod. We are going to try to catch a Yankees game and a Red Sox game, so we can mark off 2 more Baseball Stadiums from our list. Other main things to do is see just how big Central Park really is, climb up to the top of the Statue of Liberty, eat real NY pizza, bagels, and a hot dog from a street vendor. I would mention using the Subway, but that'll happen without us really trying. We'll go see a Broadway show, go to the Upright Citizen's Brigade Theater on Sunday night to see ASSSSCAT! with Amy Poehler. There's an Ice Cream place in Cape Cod (or do you say 'on' ?) we saw on FoodTV once that Jen has been to. We'll fly to NY on Thursday night the 3rd on the redeye, spend the first part in NY, then rent a car and drive to Cape Cod. One of the best parts is that Jen has friends in both places, so we don't have to spend a dime on our sleeping arrangements! Very lucky. We're both pretty excited, me because I've never been there, and would like to get real pictures with my eyes of all these things I've seen other people's pictures of, and Jen because she has been, many times, loves it, and can't wait to show it all to me.
Some side goals that would be fun to add...
Buy a fake Rolex from a guy carrying them in his trench coat
Get mugged
Yell at a cab "eeeeeeey, I'm walkin' heea"
Try to beat some guy on the street with three cards on a cardboard box
Go to TRL and scream with the teenagers for the next big music star
Go to the top of the Empire State Building and eat a banana (sometimes my humor is too subtle)
Find the most embarrassing and stereotypical New York tourist hat and wear it all over town
Tell a Yankees fan that I love the Red Sox... and run away
Tell a Red Sox fan that I love the Yankees ... and run away
Ask a typical New Yorker where in the world they have these Philly Cheese Steaks hidden

Luckily, I still have a good 2 months to think of more.
