Dancing the Night Away
It's no secret that I'm a nutcase when it comes to exercising, as much as Casey is crazy about sitting. To get him to be more active (because, let's face it ... the only way I could be still if I were knocked unconscious) was to purchase 'Dance Dance Revolution' for our PS2.
This game is awesome. Unfortunately we need a solid surface for the dance pad, so we're either going to purchase the high-end one, or buy a wooden board. Reason is that the pad itself is less responsive due to the un-eveness of our carpet.
Aside from that, this game seriously rocks. We're going to have to get 2 mats so we can duel. And boy, are we learning how to move our feet. The concept of balance and feet-eye coordination has taken on a whole new meaning when we're forced to follow the arrows on a screen.
So watch out friends. Guess what we'll be playing next time you're over.

Sooo jealous!!! I've always wanted to buy this game!! Half for exercise purposes and half for...well jumping around like a loon purposes!! Have you ever seen the competitions! They are un-real. I'm sure they're on youtube. The doubles teams are the best, they'll do crazy flips over each other and somehow land perfectly in time. I fully expect to see you and Casey with a routine together at the next national competitions. (needless to say there must be some flashy matching costumes :) )

I am seriously addicted to this game. It's been only 2 days and already I'm having dreams about how I can improve. So far, I've managed to move up to the 'Basic' level (beginner is the lowest level) and it has me challenged.
As for looking like a loon -- yeah, we TOTALLY do. I'm thinking of taking video so everyone can see how idiotic we look.
