I Wii'd

I've been cat-sitting for Morgan R. and I took advantage of her offer to play with her Wii. My spouse came along and we bowled and played tennis. I had tennis lessons a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago, but it was funny how I remembered how you are supposed to play the game; it's different in meat space, that's for sure. For one, in meat space tennis you aren't supposed to take more than one swing. I think changing the direction of your swing helps in Wii tennis; also I did manage to figure out how to serve an ace, but we figured it's someone unsportsmanlike in Wii.

I didn't think I'd like Wii, but I did. I think that the element of physicality is what's appealing to me - though I did pace myself so I didn't get Wii tennis elbow!
