Two fun things

We went to the video store yesterday and I got out:

Wii Music: This is LOTS of fun. Not a game so much as a music making program (though it does have minigames like what is basically "Handbell Hero"). Very silly and I'm kind of bored it already but worth a rent and probably fun at parties. I would have LOVED this as a kid, and I get the feeling it's more fun in co-op mode (Cam isn't interested :/) This ad shows the sort of thing you can do, there are some actual rock songs and stuff in there too :)

Bones disk 1: Not gobsmakcingly brilliant, but the first crime show I've seen in a long time that doesn't have a thick, nasty undercurrent of Bad People Must Be Punished (where bad people includes single mothers, transexuals, uppity foreigners...) The main characters are more interested in intellectual one-upmanship and flirting than tut-tutting. Also, as [livejournal.com profile] kadeton and [livejournal.com profile] greteldragon said, the lead is a sciencey lady, kind of like a less offensive McKay (she thinks she's smarter than everyone and logic >> emotions, but isn't actively cruel)

I should probably point out that it is a show that seems to take a little while to find its rythm. The characters develop quite nicely and seasons 2 and 3 are much better then season 1 in my opinion :P

Well I like it well enough so far so that's something to look forward to :)

I adore Bones. It's one of the shows I must watch when the boy gets eps.

Well, you could rent it from my video store. Which is like 50km from your house :)
