Tochi's Hut

Draining week it has been. Tired mentally and physically... anyway, some random tidbits..

Caught up on the much acclaimed Heroes. Easy to see why Hiro-san is so lovable, as he has the best lines and "special power" (aside from Peter's mimic abilities) in the series. Love how the seemingly unrelated characters and lives are really starting to mix in with one another's now. I have a tough time telling which characters are good or bad in this series, except for Sylar. Plot seems to be really picking up too and speeding towards the explosive climax. Looking forward to both 24 (2hrs of Somebody set Jack up the bomb.) and Heroes on Monday. :)

Continued my Wii hunting quest. Been slacking lately, but Toys'R'Us advertised in their flyers that there would be at least 20 Wii's at each store location on Saturday morning. My local store opened at 9:30 am, so I grudgingly got to the store at 8 am in the morning. As I drove into the parking lot, there were only four people in front of the store. Yes! Tochi's Wii is waiting inside to be claimed! Unfortunately, after I put on my winter battle gear and went to the camping spot, I found out that they handed out all 20 "wii tickets" at 7am. WTF. Then I overheard some guy saying he has a Wii already, but just wanted to get an extra wii-mote. Grrr.. Just not my day. Later at Future Shop, I saw a young family with two 7-10 year old kids, buying a PS3, extra controllers, and several games. The salesman carrying their toys was smiling from ear to ear. Nice commission. :)

I totally missed the Vista Ice House and Tux. Went to Dundas Square earlier in the week to check if the house had melted yet, and only found a giant tent for the Aussie showcase that starts this week. Would have loved to see the house, and win the free Bill Gates autographed copy of Vista... -_-;;; Now, I'd settle for a free copy of Vista Ultimate with RC238's autograph. Don't disappoint me, M$!
