Just had an extended play session of the New Super Mario Brothers Wii with soon-to-be wifey. It was so much fun to play with someone else. Yelling at each other, directing who should go first, making people get into their bubble— it was tons of fun.

I’ve been re-reading all the Scott Pilgrim volumes and now I have a huge urge to watch a Michael Cera movie. Maybe something Eisenburg. If I had Zombieland, I’d watch that.
