Fat little Mii

We finally got a Wii Fit because Tam 'knew a guy.' Luckily it wasn't as shady as it sounded. It is SO much fun but also one of the harshest pieces of electronics out there. You start out with your choice of Mii figure that you've probably already designed to look like you. Once your Mii is chosen you go through a few balance tests and they weigh you and calculate your BMI. As your weight goes up your skinny Mii body balloons up to match your weight. See pink figure above. It's mortifying for us overweight folks.*L I guess its good for motivation though. You can weigh yourself whenever and they give you a little weight loss plan if necessary. There are fun games (see Mii as penguin above) that disguise activity for good fun. It's pretty easy to get an hour a day in and in addition to games there are aerobic, strength training, and yoga exercises. Everyone should get one. I need to get my fat little Mii shrunk down to a normal size.

In other news I did actually get the job at the zoo. One of the gorillas got sick and they needed a replacement...just kidding, although there have been plenty of unmerciful jokes made by my friends. Jerks. I was supposed to hear by Monday if I got the job but apparently there had been some sort of personal emergency and she couldn't call anyone until 4 days later. So, yay, and they do have an elephant so that'll suffice for no penguins. I figure that I can use the extra money towards a summer study abroad program in France. Besides the obvious bonus of being in the south of France it'll be very good for my floundering listening skills in French.
