As I was sitting at work, surfing through some sites on the internet my mobile rang. I picked up and it was Jason.
"What are your plans for the evening?", he asked.

"Dunnu, have to study with michael and wanted to have a coffee with Candice later on. Why? You have any better plans?"
At this moment I could actually think of lots and even more better ways to spend my evening, but on the other hand, after all the stuff I bought recently, I could really stand some more money in my pocket.

"Well, I don't know whether you concider this as an better idea", he said,  "but I have tickets for the ROLLING STONES in Frankfurt."

My reaction was something like: "..."

"You hear me? Would you like to go?"

"You have WHAT?????"

"Tickets for the Rolling Stones concert in Frankfurt. TONIGHT."

Well let me think, would I rather go and sit with an 11 years old kid or see the Rolling Stones? And yeah, sure i rather wanted to have a coffee instead of the maybe once-in-a-lifetime chance to see a living legend! ;)

The guys rocked the whole stadium as if they were still  25 years old. Very nice range of songs and they went on for good 2 hours with Keith Richards trying to sing :D
Honestly, I wasn't too much impressed by his acting in Pirates of the Caribbean, even though he did very well, but as Jason's buddy said, "he should finaly stop trying singig!" He should just stick with what he does best: being one of the guitar-gods and one of those who keeps staying alive while 100000 other people having his lifestyle, would already have died.
As a magazine said: "After the next nuclear explosion the cockroaches and Keith Richards will be the only survivors." :D 

Unfortunatelly we believed the warning, not to take any cameras etc.  because they will be taken off at the entrance. It turned out to be total bullshit. I cought a couple minutes of the concert on my cellphone. The quality is crappy, but I might load it up, it's still kind of cool and special.

My first experiences with the new Nintendo Wii console were made at work. We wanted to find out whether it's possible to play the games on a screen with a very high resulution projector (yeah people, buy Panasonic stuff!!!).
It didn't work out, since the console's highest resolution was... whatever it was, it was not high enough.
Nevertheless, the playing itself absolutely amazed me and I fell in love with this little white box, it's "remote" and the nunchuck controller. 
So, as an intelligent and modern woman (*g*) I started to talk about the game, just a little bit and drop it. As you know, if you really want something, you just have to give a little taste of it and then stop at the most interesting point.
...well, actually, it wasn't excatly like that, since Jason was in Canada back then and I figured it would be cheaper to buy a Wii from Canada and bring it over. 
Thank God he didn't jump on it, because I would be a hell of a time finding any games over here!!!

So we let the topic soak in for a little while, though I kept talking about it once in a while to not let him forget the taste. Remember? The taste, it's all about that little taste ;)
Anyways, as Mark decided to leave Europe and go back to the States (I hope everything's well with you buddy!), he also decided to get rid of everything he doesn't necessarily need and a German Wii console makes absolutely no sense in the States. So he asked Jason whether he wants to try it out.
J came home and asked, whether I want to play the Wii over the weekend.
My eyes must have been huge, because the next thing he said was: "Don't look at me as if you have smoked pot!"

That is exactly what I wanted, because I knew exactly once he tried it, he wouldn't give it back anymore. (Oh yeah, Ladies, guys ARE little kids... but still we love them, don't we?)

As we got the console we couldn't wait to plug it in and start playing. 
I was a little concerned, because we have no TV at home, only the projector. But the projector ia already an "old" one (around 2 years old), so the resolution was perfect. I can actually say that I have a bowling center in the living-room :)

Now actually I wanted to quit my gym membership a couple weeks ago. See, having your own thae-bo and callastetics group 2 times a week, 2-3 times a week American gym and side activities are just too much. The ones who know me If I had the possibility, I'd be working out 24/7, but I don't have the possibility, and paying for a membership I don't use just makes no sense to me. But you know, it's always good to have something like an all-day-gym more or less right around the corner. What if you suddenly decide to go work out at 1am? So I kept it. 
Yesterday I cancelled it. Call me insane, but Wii Sports IS sports!!!
I happened to find out after I was sore for FOUR days after boxing and playing tennis. ON THE WII!!! Last time I have been so sore was after the wrestling camp with Claudio and Chris and there I was falling on the mat, taking bumps, chops, kicks and warming up with 5 blocks around the gym, 50 push-ups, 70 sit-ups and all that funny stuff.

As a real girl I decided to create my own Mii. A Mii is the little "person", icon, avatare, call it the way you like, you are operating during games like "Wii Sports" or "Wii Play". So I've taken a mirror and tried to create Me. This Mii got the name "Mee". unfortunatelly it diesn't look like me anymore, since I've cut my hair (again), but i didn't feel like changing it, because it looks just perfect... to ME. 
Well, i wasn't sure about telling Jason about Mee, it's a rather girlish step... or isn't it? As my boyfriend sat down to play again, he discovered the new Mii and was like? "Is that you??? Why do you have a Mii and I don't? I want a Mii!!!"
So we created another Mii, that should look like Jason... it looked like Jesus... After a couple changes he was satisfied and was thinking about a name.
"How do you spell "yes" in French?", he asked.
"Oui. O - U - I. Why?"
"Oh, nothing..."
The next look at the picture on the wall unraveled the mystery: he named his Mii "MUI".
If you want to play online, you have to register your console and give it a name. It didn't take him very long and he came up with "WIINER". So I'm not quite sure whether it's a good thing that people are coming over and playing with my boyfriend's Wiiner ;)

Recently I was talking to a friend of mine, telling her about our new toy.  Her reaction was quite interesting. "Throw that stuff out! Things like that are total relationship killer!"
Now let me think... I can't imagine that a guy will love ANY computer game more than ONE other game. 
Carrie Bradshaw would look at me as if I was a fool and ask: "Sweety, can't you just write what you think? How old are you?" Well, since I'm not writing sex columns for Vogue (was she writing for Vogue?) I think this will do. 
I was absolutely right with my theory, so don't believe what funny commercials on YOUTUBE say (search for "Wii Sex"), girls, we always have at least one pressurizing medium ;)

Right now we have another two games besides Wii Sports and Wii Play, which are "Zelda the Twilight Princess" and "Red Steel". Both are rather cool, and tonight or tomorrow I will upload a couple pics and videos of Jason trying to fight with a sword :-D

I would like to come to following conclusion (I've got work to do here, so my entries are becoming shorter and shorter):
- Wii is a total new level in the computer games world
- It does NOT disturb relationships
- It IS capable for people who normally don't play
- It is even capable for my grandma (golf)
- It does NOT make you stupid or lazy
- LADIES,  let your guys play, even play with them, no matter whether you like the game or not (you will like it!). Later on  you absolutely have the right to say: "Honey, you've been playing your shooting games, I didn't say anything, even played with you. Now you have to watch 'Sex And The City' with me.

Next entry: PIX, VIDS and a short report about our trip to Berlin.

I JUST BECAME AUNTIE!!!!!
