A Long, Hard, and Tiring Week.

Man, this last week has sucked. On Friday (4/25/08) our cable TV line got hit by lightning, causing some TVs and other things such as my Wii and DVD players to not work. Many of the things that were hit were on surge protectors, but they didn't seem to work. My parents have called our insurance company (West Bend) and are debating on filing a claim. Saturday (4/26/08) I called Nintendo about my newly fried Wii. They told me to try a different AC adapter on my Wii and see if it would turn on or not then call them back. So, I called my friend, Colin and went over to his house and tried using his adapter. I had no luck, it would just light up red and not turn on or eject the disc stuck inside it. So, I called Nintendo again on Sunday (4/27/08) and told them about what the results were. They said "Well, you can't control lightning really, so we'll send you a new one if you ship the old one back we can get the disc out." I was so happy and was so worried about getting a hold of a new one and I didn't know what to do. I'm so glad I called. Anyway, that was my week, and today I shipped my Wii to Nintendo.
