Here's what I got for my birthday:

-Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 for the Wii plus player's guide
-Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
-Ninjabread Man
-Kidz Sports Crazy Golf
-Up on Blu-ray & HD
-New Super Mario Bros. Wii plus player's guide
-running/exercise shorts
-Nintendo Points
-headphones
-Fact, Fiction, and Folklore in Harry Potter's World

So the Marvel game, the Nintendo Points, both Mario games were stuff that was on my list, everything else... Well, there's an interesting story behind each.

My mom bought Ninjabread Man because she thought it looked fun and it was available for $10. Unfortunately, she doesn't check reviews before she buys games so she doesn't know that it's notoriously bad game. She asked me to play it and if I don't like it, I can go ahead and sell it at GameSpot.

The Golf game was supposed to be a game the whole family can play, so I can't really complain about that.

The funny thing about Up is that earlier that day, I was talking with my mom about who I really wanted Up, even though it wasn't on my list, because I loved the movie a lot. So she got it!

I needed new headphones, and surprisingly (or rather unsurprisingly) I don't have that many gym shorts.

The book about Harry Potter is an interesting one, since it talks about stuff in real-world mythology and how it relates to Harry Potter. I'd love to check it out!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to play Bowser's Inside Story and New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
