Wii Sad

I got the NEW Nintendo Wii!!


The same afternoon my TV broke.

The two events are unrelated (sort of).

No, I didn't fling the Wii remote at the TV and crack the screen. And no, I didn't get so excited playing Wii tennis that I leaped on the TV. Basically, my video outputs weren't working correctly, and so in an effort to see the back of my TV and "investigate" the problem, I moved my TV and it became lop-sided and started to fall over. I grabbed it and thought "Whoa, that was close!" But unfortunately, me holding it half in the air, wasn't gonna last long. My arms quickly got tired from holding up 100+ pounds of TV (seriously, my dog weighs less!), and ultimately, my TV fell to the ground.

I figured, "Oh, I'm sure it will be okay." Well, I pulled it in, and heard sizzling noises. Not good. I opened up the back - as if I have any clue what I'm looking at - and received about 10 electric shocks from the TV (and yes, it was unplugged). I screwed it back up, and plugged it back in, and there was nothing. RIP.

My Wii - in all it's fresh innocence - sits by the TiVo waiting for some attention. Poor thing. It doesn't know the TV broke. I couldn't tell Wii. I though it might get upset. My TiVo is holding a brave front and trying to bond with the Wii.

So, until I get a new TV, it's safe to say, Wii Sad.

Poor Wii...but at least she has Tivo to keep her company!

That accident with the TV sounds like something that would happen to me...I can definitely picture it.

I have this old TV that I don't know what to do with. It doesn't have the video components so it is not very good for anything...needs to have a converter to play DVDs or games. I need to figure out if I can take it somewhere to be recycled.
