The DS Life: Day Ahead
The DS Life is a weekly feature in which we scour the known world for narrative images of Nintendo's handhelds and handheld gamers. If you have a photo and a story to match it with, send both to thedslife at dsfanboy dot com.
The woman had showered, dressed, and even put her shoes on by the time her husband finally crawled out of bed. They were on vacation, so she didn't mind letting him sleep in. It was an opportunity for her to play Mr. Driller while he went through his own morning routine.
She had just taken Susumi past the 10,000 ft. mark when she heard the *click* behind her.
This week's vignette isn't actually based on the featured photograph, as it's really a scene from my own recent vacation in Andalusia, Spain.
My wife and I, newlyweds on a honeymoon trip, hadn't thought to bring watches or cell phones on our trip, and we never seemed to see a clock anywhere, not even in the hotels we stayed at, so we resorted to checking the Nintendo DS whenever we wanted to know what time it was. It was pretty goofy, but it worked!
And so, every morning, she would check the DS's clock and play Mr. Driller while I readied myself, waiting for the day ahead. Everyone should bring a DS along on their honeymoon!
