The Real Possum

Rachel:

Here is a picture of our real possum friend. He is playing shy in the picture. Hopefully we'll get a better shot of him.

In other news, Kurtis fixed the Wii. He broke it in the first place. Funny story actually. Kurtis brought the Wii because he thought it would give us something free to do while we were down here. So he packed it all up and we thought we would play it at Lauren's house. Kurtis decided that he didn't need to use the power convertor so he just plugged it in and short circuited the house and the Wii wouldn't turn on anymore. I wanted to kill him. Wiis are $400 here so we thought our Wii playing days were over.

Kurtis called the Nintendo office in Melbourne and explained what happened. First they laughed at him, as anyone would, and then they told him that all he needed was a new cord and so he bought one over the phone for $35 and we got it today! And guess what? The Wii works! Welll sort of. It's black and white. We've figured its something to do with the overseas compatability or something. But its fine for now and we might buy the adaptor that makes it colour so as we speak Kurtis is playing MarioKart and all is right in the world again. lol

Aussie word of the day: "heaps" - means a lot of something, like "There were heaps of people who thought it was stupid of Kurtis to plug the Wii in without an adaptor"
