We had another relaxing weekend this past week. Well, maybe not relaxing, but at least it was at home, in the area. On Saturday we got up and went to the gym. Afterwards we went out to the mall and did some shoppings for a bunch of stuff, including wedding invitation supplies. Then we came home, cooked dinner, and then just hung out the rest of the night.

Then on Sunday we went to church (finally). After church, we came home for a bit, then headed out to the Dutchess County Fair. We left the house around 2pm. We didnt end up parking until about 4:30 due to a heck of a lot of traffic outside the fair getting in. By the time we got in we were starving, so had an early dinner. Shell had a cheese steak, and I had a pork rib sandwich, which was lame. My pork sandwhich was like the one you would get in high school…small and thin. I was still hungry after that lame meal so I found a perogi station and got some. They were tasty, and stuffed with cheese, potato, and kelbasia. We then walked around and took in the sights and whatnot. Along the way I got gyped off by paying $6 for a lemonade from some random stand, while the other stands sold it for $4-5, depending on the stand. Shell also got a frozen banana that was dipped in chocolate and nuts.

There was some kind of mini-zoo there, which was cool. It starts off kind of lame with just some reptiles and birds. Then they brought out the big guns. First was an albino kangaroo. It was the weirdest thing I had ever seen. It was clearly a kangaroo, but it was all white, and had red eyes. Very odd. They also had two tiny tiger cubs, who were in the middle of eating their dinner of raw steaks. They were very cute. There were also some other interesting animals like fox (I dont get to see them too often…they are so tricky), bobcat, and lynx.

We then walked around some of the shops and demos and stuff, still taking in the sites. When we were done, we grabbed a bag of zeppili on the way out, which was very tasty. All in all, it was a good time. The Dutchess County Fair is the best one in our area, and we always have fun going.

wii-punch-out

Little Mac is back for Punch-Out for the Wii. It plays very similarly to the NES Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out, minus the insanely difficult Tyson. I say this because while the controls can be used via waggling the Wiimote andNunchuck (a la Wii Sports Boxing), the game does not feel right unless you’re using the classic controls…that is, you turn the Wiimote on its side and use the 1 and 2 button as you would use the A and B button on a NES controller. This gives you a sense of nostalgia as you enter to ring to tangle with the classics like Glass Joe and King Hippo, as well as some new comers.
