Wii Sometimes Have Fun

This weekend included some relaxing fun. On Friday night a number of us went out for dinner and a movie.  This included Bobby who we all used to work with but who now works for a company that makes video games.  He was telling us about the "nerf" gun wars at work which got myself and a friend Matt motivated.  So we headed to Target and picked up a few "Nerf" guns for our office.  Our co-worker Daniel was greeted with a fun surprise on Monday morning.

After chatting for a while and catching up with Bobby we started to talk about those videos traveling around the web where someone attempts to eat a tablespoon of cinnemon in 30 seconds or less.  This had us searching my kitchen for cinnemon, which I had (who knew?) Click here to watch Matt attempt the challenge. Very funny.

Next up, on Saturday Bobby and I continued our "chick-flick" saturday movies... but it wasn't a chick-flick this time.  I know... I am totally revealing myself with this blog (and Bobby for that matter.) Since the Saturday morning movies are slightly cheaper (and far less attended I suppose) Bobby and I pick a movie we might not normally watch and go and see that... strength in numbers.  Normally I don't prefer to see movies alone, but if I really want to see a movie and there is nobody who is interested, then I am willing to fork over the bucks and time and see it by myself.  If the movie even remotely falls into the category of "chick-flick" then the odds go down that I will see it, even if I really want to.  This is where Bobby comes in. Together, we can handle a chick-flick (we figure) where alone we might not have the guts to go see it.  So, Saturday mornings sometimes become "chick-flick" Saturday and we watch the 10am showing of some silly commedy.  It is maybe a little wierd to eat popcorn at 10am (something I haven't done sine I was 8 years old)This particular saturday, we watched the 3D movie "How to Train Your Dragon."  It was pretty cute and the 3D was pretty neat.  I don't know that I would recommend people rush out and watch it, but it was something to go do.

Later on Saturday Bobby and I drove down to Ikea in Woodbridge to get a new table for his apartment and then we dropped in on Daniel to hang out for a bit.  His wife made this amazing meal for us (unbeLIEVable... I wish I was a better cook, and now I need to return the favor) and then we broke out the Wii and played a little tennis as you can see here.

After that it was a fairly crappy weekend.  Bobby was searching for a new church so we drove down to the Vineyard in Woodbridge and it was a nice Palm Sunday meeting.  After that we had lunch and I headed home for a nap.  All in all it was fun and not too crazy, even though I prefer to take it a little slower on the weekends... well, at least that is what I tell myself on Fridays, but it doesn't often happen.
