Maybe a Starbucks

Last night, I flipped on the Simpsons (Season 2, Disc 1, Episode: Simpson and Delilah) and just as I did so, my Wii Optical Disc Light lit up with that stunning bright distracting blue. I didn't want the light on all night so I turned on the Wii and checked the message board.
Sure enough there was a message from Nintendo. Apparently there was a new Wii System Update available for the Check Mii Out. I clicked "Update" like the friendly message told me. So I try to go to the Check Mii Out Channel after that and I get this message:

So, I go to the Wii Shop Channel and download the newest version. I go back to the Check Mii Out Channel and get turned away again with the same message. I tried doing another Wii System Update. That didn't work.
Is this a widespread problem or am I going crazy? I'm pretty sure I'm going crazy.

(Please excuse the obscure Wayne's World reference in the title.)

No matter how much I strove to keep myself from finding out Brawl's hidden characters, there was no escaping it. I wanted to earn them all on my own, but once you start looking at images... you just think, "Well, I've looked at one. Might as well look at the rest." I now know most of the hidden characters. Rats. If you don't want to know, don't scroll down. There's a big picture and everything.
I'll fill the void with this interesting factoid: This blog is definitely out there in CyberSpace. I searched "Maybe a Starbucks" on GoogleBlogs and the first thing I see is:

Cool!

OK. Now the important thing. Brawl's list of venerable characters.

Well, formerly unannounced Brawlers here include Luigi, Falco, Marth, Mr. Game and Watch, Ganondorf, Lucario, Ness, Young Wind Waker Link, R. O. B., Captain Falcon, and Jigglypuff.
- Happy to see returning: Luigi, Mr. Game and Watch, Jigglypuff
- Unhappy to see returning: Marth and Ness. Marth will be just like Ike. Ness will be just like Lucas.
- Completely Neutral Towards: Ganondorf, Falco, Captain Falcon, Young Wind Waker Link
- Very Curious About: Lucario, R. O. B. Particularly R. O. B. - that's gotta be one very different move set.

Are you kidding? Have you read my blog? I'm a nerd. My idea of a sport is playing Zelda. I don't have any Super Bowl Picks.

Speaking of Zelda, I've got really addicted to Twilight Princess.
I decided to lay off the Guitar Hero for a while because I was listening to music and realized that I was screaming out, "Green, Orange, Blue, Yellow, Green, Orange, Blue!"
Anyway, I went through the ol' Wii game collection. From the bottom of the pile I pulled something out. I blew some dust off and read the title: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Ah, yes! I remembered this game. I popped it in and started playing (I had to dig out the ol' Nunchuk too).
The game's memory told me I hadn't played since April '07.
It all came back to me. I rounded up the goats in about thirty seconds, I went fishing with ease, and pretty soon I was running through the woods in search of some monkey and some kid. This was the reason I hadn't played since April. You see, I was lazier then and all those monsters swarming at me... well, nine months later, it didn't take long to save the stupid kid. So, now I'm addicted to Zelda.
