My Encounter With Mandeep

It has been a long, long time since I've written a real blog. Since the pandemic days, in fact. But this warrants it. So there I was, going about my usual afternoon busywork at the AVN compound, when I hear a call from downstairs: "Hello?" I thought I heard my co-worker moving in that direction to see what was up, but then a few minutes later: "Hello?" Looked like it was gonna be up to me.

There's No 'I' in Wii! Wait...

Yesterday, Dec. 14, 2008 — my father's birthday, as a matter of fact — a magical event long in the coming transpired: my roommate Heidi brought a Nintendo Wii into my life. I don't think it being my father's birthday had anything to do with it (though who knows ...

It was fun while it lasted. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be in Heidi's room playing Guitar Hero World Tour. Indefinitely. (Anyone know if the Wii does taxes?)
