I’m not sure what else I can do. I’ve been to the suburbs Sunday after Sunday — but there have been no Wiis. The last two days I’ve gotten up early and taken the Metro to Pentagon City before work, visiting the Best Buy within minutes of its opening — no Wiis. My agents friends have generously scoured Texas, Arizona and London on my behalf, like Nintendo Nazgul — no Wiis.
Tomorrow everyone will be off work, and it’ll be too late. I may make the trek to Best Buy one more time, but I expect there’ll be throngs waiting with me. My advantage will be gone, and my cause lost.
I suppose there’s always the week after Christmas. But in the meantime I’m left seething at the thought of those who have successfully gotten their hands on the console. Have they proven their devotion? Did they deserve it more than me!? No, goddammit! I guess this is how conservatives feel about affirmative action.
i played one at ian’s house on monday and my shoulder has just now recovered. it’s just that awesome.
(but if it makes you feel any better, my brothers’ attempts to score one in virgina have been fruitless as well. however, if they find any, i’ll see what i can do about squirreling one away for you and poor charles as well)
Surely, surely stores will be selling them on the Saturday before xmas. Are you willing to spend the night? Is it still 70 degrees and sunshiney in the District?
