School Entry #1: Broken Wii

I have formed a new idea in my head while either at home or school one day. This idea applies to all of the BFBv.2 writers that go to school, which are all members besides Jenifer. The idea is to, while at school, write on any scrap sheet of paper a basic blog entry and then later on that day or even week type up the entry or entries. The thought of this is that as I have stated on this blog before, the best time of thought for myself is during school, in the shower, or in the darkness at night in my bed right before going to sleep, where all the worries of the world flood your mind. So in conclusion, I can't write on paper in the shower (it'll get pretty soggy) and I can't write in the dark lying down with my eyes closed -- it's impossible. So, the only other option left is school, and therefore that's the basis of my new idea. And here is the blog entry I wrote today, unedited besides for spelling and any grammar mistakes I might have made:

11-21-06 -- Entry #1

*Right now I'm sitting in world cultures before the National Anthem while everybody is having short and sweet conversations. I checked this morning before...school on Runescape Community and saw that the Runescape hunter skill came out today. I caught up on reading information about it while cooking my raw lobsters in the Rouges' Den, but my time was cut short when it was time to get ready for school. An incident occurred yesterday...and now I must go. The teacher is teaching.

8:02 -- *I now have the thought to leave the time on the beginning of each school log. We're now watching Disney's Hercules in cultures, and never seeing the movie before, I'm going to pay attention to it. Also I just found a sock in my pants...

10:55 -- *Thank God we did not have Spanish class today but instead in place of it study hall. Anyhow, back to my scare yesterday. My Wii didn't work yesterday. Yes, I played it for a little while yesterday making Mii's and my mother was playing bowling, but one thing led to another. After my mother was playing bowling, an error message popped up saying that the something could not be saved. Then, the Wii wouldn't work when turned on. The light on the power button would be green, but the television screen would remain raven black. Then, I actually got to the Wii menu, but the pointer would not appear on the screen. Then, again, the screen would remain black when turned on. I tried unplugging it for a small period of time, but that didn't work either. Time to be taught some transcendentalism...

11:28 -- *We aren't doing anything in English as of now, so I'm going to attempt to resume my story. My brother was on the phone last night giving me troubleshooting ideas from the Nintendo site to try and fix our problems, and none of them worked. I then went on myself and read some of the topics and spotted that my Wii, if standing vertical, had to be in its stand. Well, my Wii was vertically standing without the stand on solid glass, thus the vents on the bottom of the Wii had no air to breathe. I quickly ran into my living room, put the Wii on the stand, and unplugged the Wii for the night. This morning after playing Runescape and right before getting ready for school, I turned the Wii on to test to see if the problem was solved, and upon turning it on, it was working -- or at least for that tiny period of time. We'll have to see later on at home, and after typing up the entry...well, I have to translate my Spanish Christmas cards before typing. I'm starving right now as I hardly ate any breakfast and lunch is next period, so I'm out to try and fight the hunger. I'm out.

For some up-to-date information: My Wii is currently confirmed to be broken and no effort that I put into it can fix it. The same things are happening: nothing will come on the screen, it'll freeze on the health concern screen, some other things will freeze, the pointer won't appear on the screen, and the console won't recognize the controllers, no matter how much I sinc them. My brother wanted to play it after school today when he dropped the kids off to sleep over, and I thought that hopefully the console would work. And of course with my luck, it didn't work. After standing in line from five thirty to ten on a freezing morning just for the preorder and this happens to me -- I'm pissed and depressed at the same time. Plus I think it's my fault. Even before that, I went to download a Wii system update (before these mass breakdowns began to happen) and the loading screen froze, thus after waiting for around five to ten minutes I manually turned the console off. Everything ran smooth afterwards until my mother got that error when saving information to the internal memory after a game of bowling. Then like I wrote at school, one thing led to another. I was going to try and take some pictures before typing up this entry, but the 42'' wide screen HDTV that the Wii is set up at was being used.

Also to note: I filled out some form on the support section of Nintendo's site, so I should be getting a UPS label in the mail soon to ship my Wii or "control center" (whatever that is, whether it's the console or a part of it...) to Nintendo of America for repairs. This process should take a good two to three weeks, and I hope to God that they can fix it without erasing any of my precious Mii's. Thankfully I didn't get too far into my Zelda game for any lost game data there to be a big disappoint to me.

And now for the 'daily blog special':

Pictures of the Day

Runescape note: I am not going to try hunter until I'm done with 80 cooking, however I only need 30k+ more exp until 80 which isn't so bad, however I'm running out of raw lobsters. I'll hopefully start hunting tomorrow or Thursday.

Have a good one.
