Obama likes Wii bowling!

It seems that Obama likes to play Wii Sports' bowling, according to John Harwood of The New York Times political blog. Obama actually claims to be better at Wii bowling than he is at actual bowling. The important part of the article, titled "Obama predicts a Florida victory," as is follows:

"Mr. Obama said he’d have his hands full attempting to rescue the American economy. But he has gotten in a little practice in bowling lately on the Nintendo Wii his daughters received for Christmas. Mr. Obama, who famously struggled in bowling during last year’s Democratic primaries, said he performs better in the video game."

That's right, Mr. president-elect Obama! We knew there was a reason we voted for you. Please keep supporting the industry. But not with crap Wii shovelware. A man who wants change would know better than that, right?

Up Okkervil River

I've sort of lost track of Okkervil River over their last couple albums and this makes me regret it/confirm my previous convictions.

The balls to the wall emoting that originally attracted me to Will Sheff and the boys is still there but at the same time I feel like it hasn't gone in many interesting directions.



Does some own The Stand Ins? Is it worth the price of admission?
