V won a V !!

How about some good news? We won a "Nintendo Wii Console w/ Wii Sports"!!, first prize in the sweepstakes conducted by Blockbuster for their customers. Hear the best part, we didn't do a thing to win this other than renting bd/dvd/games as usual during their 'contest period' about which we had no clue about. Talk about being "Lucky By Chance"!!
Anyways we are hooked on "Wii Sports" ever since we received it and its pretty neat. It was fun to score in games which i'd never played in real time like Golf, Baseball,and Boxing. To quote from a review "In a world where video games = couch potato, it really is quite amazing to have a game where you have to move around and be active. You don't lounge back and gain pounds here while playing games". We both had a sore arm after playing for a number of hours, in a good way, as it would from exercising. Wii is totally rocking our world.
Trust me, you are hearing this from a die hard PS3 fan. Finally our PS3 is getting some breathing space after all those non stop shooting on Killzone2, since Wii has been taking up all our free times lately. Thanks "Blockbuster" for rocking our world with this wonderful surprise gift.

VOTE FOR EARTH - Earth Hour 2009

Earth Hour is a global event organized by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature, also known as World Wildlife Fund) and is held on the last Saturday of March annually, asking households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and other electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change. Earth hour was conceived by WWF and The Sydney Morning Herald in 2007, when 2.2 million residents of Sydney participated by turning off all non-essential lights. Following Sydney's lead, many other cities around the world adopted the event in 2008.
Earth Hour 2009 was from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. local time, March 28, 2009. 88 countries and more than 4,000 cities joined Earth Hour 2009.
