Step off, dude. I can’t start it until I turn in my last research paper on Friday.

Speaking of which, you best get to work on my collar. I’m home in 11 days (OR LESS!), you know.

Once you knit me a cozy for it and we découpage photos of ourselves all over the case.

That’s just how I felt when I saw that commercial! And then Kamran said, “Too bad Chinese food is the easiest to cook.” And I stopped feeling good about life.

Are you e-mailing this post and this picture to Nintendo so that they will recruit you for their commercials?

I’m not a huuuge videogame person either… I was never interested in the Nintendo DS until I saw the commercials where Lisa Kudrow is learning how to cook. You can learn how to cook with it! Not that I ever would (cook), but still!

Isn’t it great how any semblance of coolness in me is borrowed from other people? I got a DS just to be like Tracey, and I stole the shirt and tie from Kamran while he was still in California for Thanksgiving. I win by everyone else losing!

Between your Nintendo DS and your tie, you’re so cool I want your autograph.

What’s awesome is that reading your comment actually did make me feel like a hardcore gamer. Not only have I been pricing DS Simplys and Reals since I got back to NYC (thanks again to Tracey’s fiancé), but I played Tracey’s MarioKart and New Super Mario Bros. so much that I wore them out in Ohio. I’ve requested Touched! for Christmas, but the Wikipedia article says it’s being taken off the shelves, so I guess I’ll be downloading that when I get my M3 card.

I’m not sure why I’m supposed to be pissed about the DSi, though; I heard that you can’t play Game Boy Advance games on it, and what’s life without wonky-looking old Dr. Mario on my DS?

AWESOME! Now you just need to buy an M3 DS Real, and you can download and play all the freeeeee, illegal DS games you please. If you’re one of those moral types, though, this must be the first (good) DS game you buy. Followed closely by this.

You’ll be pissed to know that the new, upgraded Nintendo DS is already out in Japan, and will replace the DS Lite early next year in the US.
