a life without wii ...

so after my posting about how my favorite kid was confused by my lack of interest in typical girly materialistic possessions ie diamonds and jewelry, i got this e-mail from my mother. she apparently is very concerned for my well-being:
in your blog, you said that you wanted a wii. what is that,
and, should i try to find one for you???

oh mom, you're so cute! as if i am out here in brooklyn suffering terribly from my lack of a wii. ah yes, that is the fate of a penniless novelist, no wii. or maybe she thought a wii was an exotic item that can only be purchased in large box stores out on long island. i must admit, i do get excited when we go to bed bath and beyond.

"The Beyond" is far more addictive for me than a Wii.

If there was a Wii game made just for you, your character would cough & sneeze as it shushes everyone's ass & shelves books. Watch those points add up.

miss fifi, how did you know they were making a wii game based on my life? it was supposed to be hush hush. still in development and all.
just so you know, the best way to get points is in the knitting bonus round in which you get points both for speed and needle technique.

I also heard about the super-secret death-defying Katz round in which you make up phrases that sound like things Joe Katz would say & then say them in your best Katz impression. Points for phrase. Points for accent. Points for doing it in a tuxedo.

lol ... that is too funny!

Would Joe Katz say "lol"? No, I can't say I can hear that coming out of his mouth. He might, however, say, "That makes me laugh. And laughter is a sign of virility. Are you coming to happy hour tonight?"
