I think I've entered the Ninth Circle of Nerdom. I am completely geeking out on Mario Kart. Ever since BK purchased it, it's all I want to spend my time doing in the evenings. Playing video games. And I am not a video game player. But Mario Kart, for some reason, has sucked me in, and I fear there is no return. I even skipped my beloved "Bachelor" last night to play it -- although, granted, it was just a reunion show where all the chicks who got kicked to the curb get to bitch out the bachelor. Also, we reached a new level of geek-hood last night by finding Mike & Tanya in the system and spending a decent amount of time racing and battling them. They were formidable rivals.

  1. Formidable, but the EK/BK team certainly was a little much for us to handle. We need to train.

  2. Balls McGee is correct, we need more practice. I had a blast and could have played for another hour. I admit, Mario Kart has made me a nerd too!

  3. JUst don't ever get a Wii. In addition to being hihly addicting, theyare also injurious (I pulled a muscle in my neck and shoulder.)

  4. I tried so hard to get EK? to play games with me, and now I've turned her into a monster. Haha. The one thing I can't figure out is this: why is it that when I use manual mode for the sliding I always end up being slower than EK? I definitely drive around the track better and nail almost all of the boost/jumps etc. Maybe I'm sliding too much which slows me down. Anyway it is quite frustrating, and BTW I hate Rainbow Road.

  5. Looks like the question mark got away from me.
