Jenni & Emily do battle with Wii Boxing, originally uploaded by emilyrems.

I know I’m way late on this one, but how come nobody told me how insanely fun the Nintendo Wii is? After a Memorial Day spent kickboxing, brunching and watching the crackheads put on their own live-action nature show in Tomkins Square Park, I headed over to Jenni’s place with LCF to get my first taste of her coveted white console. In this vainglorious picture above, I’ve just successfully knocked out Jenni in Wii Boxing and am shamelessly gloating. The silliest part of the whole thing is that the Wii let us make adorable nerd-girl avatars of ourselves, complete with nebbishy black glasses, so as we worked up a sweat feverishly flailing our limbs at her TV screen, or virtual selves were ruthlessly punching each other HARD in our respective bespectacled faces. Like, over and over! Ever the artist, LCF spent a really long time carefully creating his avatar, agonizing over the shape of his lil’ cartoon-self’s eyebrows, but had no interest in actually playing any games with it. I, however, was all about slugging Jenni in the face. Maybe eating lots of soy hasn’t made me lose my violent edge after all.
