Blazing Crosscourt Forehand
Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving last night.
I had some fun. Originally we were going to have dinner at my house, but my cousin Timothy broke his leg Saturday, so obviously he wasn't in any shape to be going to anybody's home (well, he could've been if we were an evil family who enjoyed tortuing helpless children - which we're totally not, by the way).Thus, we went over to his house for dinner, and we brought along the Wii to cheer him up a bit.
The bulk of our time was spent playing Wii Sports (mostly because it would've been kind of rude to make him sit around and watch one of us play Zelda for hours and hours... lol). Even with the broken leg and having to be bunched up on a chair to support the leg on a couple of pillows, Timmy still managed to get the hang of things pretty easily. He seemed to enjoy tennis, baseball, and boxing the most; he probably would have loved bowling, too, were the motion for bowling not completely hindered by the position he was forced to sit in.
He was especially good at tennis. It was kind of amazing how quickly he adapted to it; he was blazing crosscourt forehands and dropping delicate sliced backhands within a few minutes of play. The kid gave me some good scares at a couple of points lol. I still put him away, though, because, broken leg or not, I am indiscriminate about whom I will crush in tennis.
Now if only I were anywhere near that good in reality. :(
We also had some fun Super Smash Bros. Melee matches. Makes me look forward to Smash Bros. Brawl all the more; I can't wait until it comes out. Then I'll be able to get my ass handed to me by people all over the globe! Yes!!
So, yes, good times were had by all. Fun, food, and family - not much more you can ask for when it comes to Thanksgiving. The only problem I had with it is that only Timothy's family and my family were around this year. It seems like each year, more family decides to stay on their own for the holidays; I can barely remember the last time we had a truly big family gathering. It's kind of sad, because I really enjoy it when the whole family is together. :/
Random note: I've been so busy over the past few days that I've not had time to play the episodes of Jeopardy! that my family has taped (yes, we play Jeopardy! together - shut up). I think that we have six episodes saved. Trivia overload~
