The Sunshine Empire

It has been a while since my last post and I do apologize.  I was engaged in an epic hunt.  The great Wii-hunt of 2007 began on Friday night.  Five retail outlets, including two Wal-Mart’s and a Best Buy were covered, when we found ourselves on the westside.  There were lots of strip clubs but no retailers selling electronics at 10:00 pm on Friday night, at least legally that is.  I was starting to think that I would be able to find a bag of heroin and a literate Texan before I could find a Wii in this city.  It’s not like we’re at the nerds hanging out in the sleeping bags outside Babbages phase any more.  During the same time I was able to touch a live alligator, but no Wii was to be had even the next day.  But I persevered and found one.  While speaking to the Best Buy consultant who called one up to the counter it really felt illicit.  But I have the precious Wii and all is good in the world.  On to a new mission.
