Deviation
So my sister asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I was all like, unless you want to buy me a plane ticket, go for books. (I'm trying to play catch up after years of a shot concentration, and about the only thing that's capable of soothing a battered soul).
Then I remembered, I have a Wii, a partial obsession with that balance board! Since my balance is terminally screwed - aerobics gets boring after a while - I'm fishing for new games. So I sent three suggestions, all with some kind of sports theme. There was no reply to the book suggestion, but:
What has happened to you?????? Video games? Don't even recognize you!
She knows me well, and probably now thinks she's losing her grip; what with that great expanse of water. Except Wii can't really be described as video games in the traditional sense, which I will still abandon rather quickly. About the only thing I ever had any patience for was PacMan or Chuckie Egg, and could hardly be described as even a minor addiction. (If you want something funny to read, try this).
If my sister maintained her Britishness, she would have added hell in that sentence. As for the American spelling, these days I'm totally blind. Blame too much interaction with the Yanks.
