Wii Shall See

My fist Saturday after my quit date. Sweet. It's a beautiful day, I got a decent nights sleep, and I'm fresh off running a little over 3 miles through the picturesque village of Shirlington. Going to get some pho in a little while with my wife, then off to do whatever the hell we want as we have no plans, no kids, and basically no responsibilities today. This of course will likely lead to a little day drinking somewhere. Apparently there is a Peroni Festival downtown DC today - the Italian in me can't stay away.

After drinking no less than 20 bud lights between the two of us, me and my bro-in-law gambled on Wii Golf until the wii hours of the morning (of which I have at least one $5 bill to account for my game). I should have expected nothing less than the following very odd dream:


June 27 -

I'm in the Wii golf game. I'm actually walking the course that I just played 15 times while I was conscious. I'm playing against Taylor and there he is, all cartooned out. I'm a bit freaked out by the whole thing. Taylor starts yelling at me to go because he 'can't spend all night playing in this god damn game'. Wild. We're on the 9th hole. It's an island hole but there's like 4 islands. It's my go and I need to at least make par to get out this video game. I'm scared to death because while I'm a scratch in Wii golf, my real golf game is abysmal at best. I tee off and immediately hear this very high decibel 'wobble wobble' thunder out of sky- my shot went arrant because I swung too hard. It went right in the drink. Taylor is screaming at me because I only had the one ball. I have no pockets, no golf bag, no fingers even. He takes his shot and nails the fairway. I look up, and he's on the next island already. I have no ball, I can't figure out how to get over there - there's no bridge. It's awful. I see Taylor hit his next two shots and he's on the green. He two puts for his par and - poof - he's gone. I just stood there - fingerless, no legs, staring out at this imaginary ocean until I just drifted out of the dream...
