Wii Bowling
Nov. 27th, 2007 10:01 pmEarly this evening Teri, Sebastian, and I did ten frames of Wii bowling. To be honest, we haven't used the Wii as much as we should; I'm not sure why. We'll have to use it more.
In the first frame Sebastian stepped right up, waved his arm in a typical wild I'm-six-and-I-don't-know-what-I'm-doing motion, and got a strike. On his second frame, he did the exact same thing again; two strikes in a row!
I was up next. This cold has been killing me; I really do feel pretty awful, and it showed in my game. I only got one spare in the first nine frames, which is much worse than I normally do. Going into the tenth frame, Sebastian was strongly in the lead, with Teri trailing badly and me in a dismal last place.
For the first time in my life, though, I bowled a turkey in the final frame! Three strikes in a row. I think the difference is that I worked out a new motion. I did my usual position and swing, and then shoved my remote straight forward towards the Wii sensor strip as I was releasing the ball. I mean the button.
Even with a turkey, though, I still came in last - Teri beat me by four points! And Sebastian beat both of us. I'll admit that I coached him a couple of times in the middle of the game to help him pick up two spares, but even so, he did a fine job of bowling.
Okay, time for me to sleep.
