When you think you don't have any more bills to pay...

Does anyone even read Journals anymore?
So, thought today could be a totally rad day. Had a nice dinner, went grocery shopping with my grandma, and played on my good old DS.
Sadly, the last time I would prolly ever play on it.
Long story short, when tidying up the bookshelf above my desk, an ink bottle fell down and right on my DS. Upper Screen is broken.
I mean...sure, I talked about how I had planned on buying a new DS...but not like this. :<
I thought my old trusty DS would still be alive, maybe used from time to time to trade pokemon from my soulsilver to black and back...But now its pretty much unusable...
stitch-mimulus said he would try to get a new screen and then fix it, but that can take a while...need to get my DS to him or him here, both would cost a lot, and that doesn't even takes the DS screen itself into cost. Also I would need time so he could visit me.
As for second problem my poor DS's death brought up...what replacement to get?
I do wanted a 3Ds, because I could play my normal DS games on it and still use the old one for my R4 card. Plus all the new 3ds releases.
But now...I have to choose. Get a DSlite, which would mean I could play my R4 and DS games on it, or get a 3DS, which only runs my DS games but not my R4.
So now I ordered a Lite...I know, maybe getting a 3DS would be smarter and then hope for Stitch to fix the other DS. But the chances for that happening are vague, because getting the right materials to fix the DS and fixing it could not work out and that DS is growing old and fragile anyway...had to suffer a lot in his lifetime and is showing it. Besides, right now there are maybe...3 3DS games that interest me...2 if you take away Super Street Fighter 3D, since I can get the vastly superior SSF4 once I buy a PS3 (also planned this year). And some are only variations I could get on the PS3 or Wii or Virtual Console anyway. Besides, I could always buy a 3DS too...would just cost me.
*sigh* tl;dr I'm one unlucky bastard for thinking I could have a week without shit happening.

A replacement DS screen is under $20, so that might give you an idea of what it would cost.

OP
Yeah, but still...that would mean (coupled with gas) that I have to pay about 40 euro's (50 dollar) to fix a 7 year old DS those touch screen was getting scratched and dirty, whose battery was getting used up fast even after recharging and those speakers were getting scratchy (and I think those took a beating too). Sure, I'll try get it repaired, but getting a new DS was out of question.
