There were only 1000 pairs made, and that was 10 years ago. So I dunno. Finding them in good condition in your size might be something that's difficult.

That is unfortunate. Anyway, I made a meme about the Gran Turismo shoe. Check it out in the meme thread.

The clamp on desk lamp(and bulb)(I really love the reach the thing has, and the bulb I got for it is perfect), the Aoshima pre-painted BRZ model(waited a month and a half for it), and the desk itself(from IKEA).

I also got a little locking file cabinet and a bed frame from Ikea, since my bed frame broke long ago, and my desk legs finally started giving out.
 
I made some purchases that I will not regret. I got some deals.

JackThreads had a sale of 20%.

I kinda just said screw it and bought a new phone. My current phone keep dropping calls randomly which is unacceptable. $190 bucks, but I'm fairly sure I will not have to upgrade for a while. My first entry into the Android ecosystem. I'm excited, but I hate having to spend money on electronics like this. When I buy things, I expect for it to work well for the time that I have it. Sucks that companies can basically choose expiration dates for phones via software, but I guess that's just the world we live in.

Wow, DTM tickets are expensive!

It's a 3 day ticket with Grandstand seats and paddock access for €70, which is about £52.00, which is very comparable, if not cheaper than most of the BTCC in the UK, and about the cost of a Friday practice only ticket for F1.

Plus, it's also about a third of the cost of me actually getting to Zandvoort!
 
Bought some new under garments. By the way, you guys pay way too much for your clothes. I just buy the giant value pack. I think the two combined were roughly $25.


The boxer briefs bag is empty because I tossed them in the wash. Shirts are getting washed tomorrow. I wash all clothes before wearing them.

And for my wife's birthday I took my daughter out because she wanted to get her mom a charm bracelet.

My daughter bought the green with purple "polka dots" charm because "Mommy's favorite color is green and mine is purple," and I got her the Open Heart design with two large hearts (us), the small heart (our daughter) and the dog paw print (our dog). It matches the necklace I bought the year our daughter was born, which was a white gold version of the same design, minus the paw print. The chain, stops, separators, and charms all cost about $190 total. The sister of my cousin's wife works there and got us a couple of discounts. It would be closer to $250 otherwise.
 
SSD for the PS3, just a 120GB, is enough for me.
Loading times started to bug me with GT6.
and i know the ps3 can't apply full use of the ssd, but it loads much faster then the normal hdd.

hardware install was nothing, but software backup, system restore and restore backup took long..Slow PS3 hardware.
 
I ordered last week my first e-pipe, the Kamry K1000 (light wood coloured) and some e-fluids for it. I have been a pipe smoker about fifteen years and wanted to try one of these as soon as I found out that there are also these pipe mods available. Let's see how this will work. I am a bit sceptical about this thing, but you'll never know...

Since my latest check up resulted in the same diagnosis (silly high metabolism) And I really don't like eating more than I already do now, to try and stop me from losing more weight:

4.4kg of protein powder purely for weight gaining. With vanilla flavor.
 
Today I recieved a gift for my birthday. However, I had to pay for some of it. ;)

This is a ukulele made by Fender. The model is a Hau'oli, which means "Happy". I bought this from a local guitar store today as I actually went there to buy a cheaper one. I browsed around for a while (just fiddlin' with different ones). They did not have much of a selection as ukulele is not exactly the most popular instrument around here. Well, here is a description given by Amazon: "Fender brings you the authentic sound of the Hawaiian Islands with its first-ever series of ukulele models. Ukuleles are enjoying renewed popularity, with exquisite sounds and designs that are a far cry from mere musical toys. Originally built by Portuguese immigrants to the Hawaiian Islands in the 1880s, the small guitar-like instruments produced a lilting sound that instantly evoked the lush South Pacific atmosphere of their island homeland. Fender’s three new tenor-style ukulele models offer finely crafted sound and construction; they too instantly evoke the sound and spirit of Hawaii, with a dash of traditional Fender mojo for good measure—each one features the distinctive Fender Telecaster® guitar headstock shape, unique body shapes and bracing patterns designed exclusively for Fender and a Fender ukulele gig bag to get you started. Mahalo! This one, the Fender Ukulele Hau’oli, comes from the Hawaiian word for happy, and is a basic model with sturdy laminated mahogany construction and a satin finish."

Mine did not come with a gig bag because I boight it from a store. However, I am very pleased with the product and plan to make it even better with a set of new strings I bought with it. Anyways, here is a link to it on Amazon for a better picture.
PS: The pictures really do not do it any justice. :(
