Thank god for the NHS , had to have 4 xrays, crutchs and all that. They are not sure if its broken (possible hairline fracture she couldn't pick up) but I have a phiso appointment on tuesday. That is FOUR days after it happened!
Congrats ? Err ...
obviously not 
What happened ? Fell down the stairs ?
That is what happened to me nearly 4 weeks ago. Foot looked exactly like yours, even the "blue" areas. Did not have a fracture though, no crutches. According to the doctor (one of) the ligament/s is/are (partially) torn hence why the blood is in there. Swelling was better about a week later (it helps when you put a bandage on ... don't be surprised when your toes get all blue then though as blood was running in there too xD) but I am still wearing a (better and cushioned) bandage and it still hurts. Supposed to be better in about 2 weeks.
Get well.
Since I have gotten a few PMs about this I guess Ill just put it out here where everyone can see it.
I got my glasses at zenni optical.
I have been thinking about ordering glasses online for a while because they are so cheap and I know that buying them at the eye doctor is a huge rip off. I was always worried that they wouldn't be right. All you have to do is get your prescription from the optometrist.
There is some good information on this blog.
Really the only iffy part is measuring your pupilary distance and if I could do it over I would see if my optometrist would put that information on the prescription (I would think they should since they are getting paid for the eye exam). My glasses work great so I guess I measured it correctly. I plan on ordering a couple of other pairs now that these have worked out so well.

When I pump gas, I always aim for a nice, round dollar amount like $40 or $50. This is the first and only time I've hit it in all my years driving. Only had my cell phone camera with me
Please don't confuse me with Giant Bomb moron fans, I've been using Zojirushi products for as long as I can remember. I'm drinking more tea and warm water these days and this is amazing for that. Instant hot water.
But I still like cold drinks on occasion. My favorite soda!

Official Dreamcast 4X memory card.
I've been following these threads for years and have always loved them. Now that I was fortunate enough to get my account approved I thought I'd like to post some pick-ups as well. Got these things in the last 4 months.
My Kindle and the new fixed unlighted cover. Use this daily, especially on my train commute to University.
My Milestone 2. Absolutely love this phone.
I still have my old PSP-1000, but I always wanted a white one so now I bought a used PSP-3000 on Ebay for 90 Euros. Good as new. Also purchased the wonderful DSi XL in one of my favourite colours. Love the big screens, my RPG collection looks better than ever.
And various game pick-ups. My RPG back-log is huge at the moment but I got almost all of the games at reduced prices on Amazon UK. The Japanese games I picked up in Akihabara when I was in Tokyo a while back.
My mom was in Dublin on a business trip and brought me some chocolates that I loved growing up, but are not sold in Germany. Yummy.

Panty Stocking and Garterbelt Artbook. This book is loaded, tons of sketches, concept and production art. Was pretty tough to get.
I picked up some older titles on eBay. These are the only ones that I'm keeping as the rest were pretty beat up. I'm probably going to stick to yard sales and the like in the future.
I also purchased a new general purpose zoom lens. Really liking it so far.
I'm selling my Canon EF 35mm f/2 to help pay for it.

Your lungs will thank you. I loved my Volcano and it helped a lot with my breathing. Trash is still trash though and while it helps some, in the end it is still garbage.nilbog21 said:@johnlanham holy shit what's wrong with ur foot?

Another great round of trades for CPS2 games!
Street Fighter Alpha 3 I never played the arcade version despite this being one of my favorite fighting games of all time. Amazing game!
Vampire Saviour Same thing, only played the Saturn version and I think it had a different roster. No Donovan kinda stinks but not really since I don't use him. Really like the KO/Life meter system in this game.
Mutha F'in Progear Had no idea Cave made a Capcom CPS2 game. I love me some Cave shmups! It's a converted board, since an original Progear rare and priced way out of my league ($400+)

Great haul.
Yeah, the Saturn version of Vampire Savior was a sort of compilation of Vampire Savior and Vampire Savior 2, and included all the characters between both games.

Get well.
Well they x rayed it 4 times and found no sign of a break, yet the nurse said she was shocked at this.
I did it riding BMX. Messed something up and on landing the bike clipped part of the ramp and went flat, that foot went in the back wheel and when it hit the ground it flung me into the ramp. Ballooned up instantly and has been like that since. I can hobble about the house but other than that I need crutches. Sucks as I have a house party next weekend and my Birthday the one after (weather has also gotten really nice) and im basically a house bound cripple now

Ok, while I did pick up some recent stuff like LA Noire, we don't need to see another picture of that. And I got a copy of Medal of Honor for the PS3. But again, who cares.
But here's my latest haul of PS1 games. Every so often I get the itch to pick up some games I haven't played in years.
It's too bad the box for this is a little rough. It actually looks worse in the photo than it really does in person, but still, someone wrote on the fucking box. Ugh. I have a feeling the Playstation logo in the upper left was ripped, and it appears somebody tried to make a new one. At least the game was in good shape.
These 4 games are, however, in very good shape. Even Gran Turismo has each of the 2 booklets inside.

I've never seen one of these before! I just looked it up, and apparently it was unreleased in Europe, along with the broadband adapter. If they'd made it over, I'm sure I would have bought both (I have 5 VMs and 3 vibration packs already, haha).cjelly said:Official Dreamcast 4X memory card.
I need to pick up some more Dreamcast games, I feel my existing collection doesn't do justice to such an amazing console.
$40 for a bunch of Blu-rays... thanks Blockbuster! Only had enough replacement cases to do six titles, so need to pick up some more. When I picked up the second batch today, due no doubt to my undeniable charms, the guy at the store pulled the copies of Alice in Wonderland and Scott Pilgrim from their rental stock to sell to me since all of their for-sale copies were gone by that point. Really wish I could have snagged stuff like Chocolate and Ponyo, though.
(And yes, for $4, I will feel no shame in buying and watching G.I. Joe and Day the Earth Stood Still!)
