My hearing aid is in need of repair.
No kidding!
just kidding.
EDIT: Oh yeah, I actually do have shit. So last week the power supply to my mixing desk suddenly started smoking, so I hastily unplug it and put it in the bath in case it catches fire. Electrical fire? I don't want that. So I can only use headphones from my PC since then. I order a new adaptor for the mixer, which arrives at a shop, £34, take it home, plug it in, lights come on. So far so good. Try to play something through it, suddenly the lights are off. Turn it off, on again. Speakers pop as you'd expect. Then suddenly the mixer goes PFFF and smoke starts coming out of the rear mic and line sockets. Again, hastily unplug and to the bath.
I guess the thing has had a fairly good innings considering it was second hand, but to replace it with something equivalent is going to be about £200, plus I have a power supply that I don't need. I do know someone who may be able to repair it, but either way, it's a further extended time with only headphones :(

You won't be. You get no credit for lying in bed in hospital or gimping around. You will probably be effectively back to square one with your training.
Uh, I'm out dude.

Uh, how about making that discernible in your initial post, dude?

I'm amazed he enlisted in the first place, or was it mandatory?

It doesn't take any amazing features to enlist voluntarily.

No, but this is Koki we're talking about. The only reason I can see him joining the military for is the off-chance he might get to shoot someone.

I thought it was obvious. Military. Leg in cast. Does not compute.

To put it mildly.

How do I keep myself from getting bored? I explore shit. Mainly places like (
http://www.panoramio.com/photo/3699439) this between 12 AM and 5:30 AM. It's been abandoned and left to semi-rot for years, which made for a pretty interesting experience. Bits of it reminded me of those weird bits from Marble Hornets, specially down in the network of tunnels that run underneath the place.
And it figures I didn't get to bring my camera. I've never seen the stars so bright or so numerous as I have tonight. That, along with the lights from marina shining in through the broken windows, would've made for some excellent pictures.

Cheers my friend, for without the unfortunate deterioration of our commonly used and depended on tools, there would be no 'true' need for personal celebration.
My life has been a roller coaster from hell as of late. Except instead of rolling, it's being pulled by the angered thrusts of a fast paced industry otherwise known as my job. And instead of coasting, it's simply free-falling to frequent abrupt impacts with the un-forgivingly sharp rocky walls of the enclosing tunnel, also known as my job. My life is a linear shit, similar to most shits, but this one has no chance of curving and it certainly shows no signs of tapering to a soft release. But I've learned to accept the fact that for the next 5 years I have no idea who, where, or how the hell I'm going to be.
The good thing is, regardless of all the hits I'm taking on my way to the top, I'm being pulled by one who's as high as money can stack, so long as I play cards right I just might make it up the ladder and get my chance to look down on the enduring trail I had to face, smile, drink a beer, and buy me a bed, a coat, and some shoes that don't look like they were made at a swiss cheese factory.
I used to believe I had it figured out and everything would be ok so long as I make rent and eat enough to stay out of the hospital, but now all I can think of is how nice it would be to just let it all go so I can have my 'me' time back. So when life is hard and throws you dirt, make bricks. When it throws you bricks, build walls. When it throws walls, hold your glass high and join the club.
