No. I just hopped out of bed Monday morning and landed funny. My bed is tall enough that my feet don't touch the floor when I'm sitting on it, and when I jumped down (all of 6 inches probably) I just landed in a weird way and managed to end up with two stress fractures along metatarsals 4 & 5, and a torn tendon. OMG. Really? I feel like a prize idiot, and now I have this really attractive boot to wear for 4-6 weeks. Moving day is today (just me and my car.. I'm moving boxes). Now I really wish I didn't have this cursed anvil around my leg, since I have no help today. (Matt is working, but he can help tomorrow.) Next Saturday the truck comes for all my furniture and my piano. I'm glad they'll be the ones doing the heavy lifting. So long as I'm healed by the time I go to China, I'll be happy. I"m sure climbing the Great Wall is going to be hard on it, from what I hear anyway.
So Portal 2 is awesome.... I played single player mode for awhile, which is similar to the first Portal but more challenging because the atmosphere isn't as clean or clinical looking- now it's all overgrown and harder to find what you're looking for. I raved about it so Matt bought it the next day and now we've been playing co-op mode every night just about. We've made it through the entire first half (5 stages I think, comprised of maybe 10 levels per stage?) and are about to start second half tonight. I love this game! I wore my xbox shirt to school yesterday, and my students went nuts. LOL. They asked what my favorite game is (to which I had to say Borderlands, because it rules), and what I'm playing now. I told them about Portal 2. One of the kids had the first Portal and said it was way too hard for him. I think I earned some special place of honor in his head because I could play that game. Heh.
Off to scrounge some breakfast, then get packing and moving.
