Partially Obvious

Its got to the point where going outside and cutting myself seem like similar choices up here in the greater New England area (cause come on, New England is essentially a single states and the actual states are just counties…why do you think its the New England Patriots??? they’re the only one’s admitting it). I got an iPhone yesterday so I’m all excited about talking on it. I usually call family while I walk between buildings here at the LEGO Campus, but when its this cold my hand freezes while trying to talk. its crazy.

Anyways, This weekend is more moving and painting and moving. We’re going to go get a new bedframe this weekend so thats cool. Oh yeah, I got a call from Best Buy today, and they ran out of the washer/dryer set we paid for on Black Friday…so they’re giving us the next level up for no additional charge to make up for their mistake. I love a company that will give you something nicer than what you thought you were getting and will constantly apologize to you about it. Yay for Best Buy, my customer affinity for you has gone up significantly

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

I’ve been going through the new 7208 firestation that I was able to snag at the company store because they got them damaged. I don’t know if this one is out in stores yet, but if it is then some folks will just be able to follow along with what I’m talking about better. I also got the two new Space Police sets (excellent), two Atlantis sets (also cool), and a small power miners set.

Anyways, there are some wild new parts in this fire station that I think are pretty neat. First off there’s a 2×6 plate with a snot element built into it.  its just wild.  I feel like this can become a really useful part for a lot of things, but I was just excited when I saw it. 

Anyways the other one is a 1×2x5 brick with a groove in it.  its basically the 1×2 with groove stacked up.  its cool though because it make the wall element multi use and also gives it some detail.  Also if you don’t want to show the groove then you just turn it around.

There’s gonna be a lot of fun this next year…I can feel it

oh and you gotta love 2×4 tiles.  they’re swell.

The end of the year snuck up on me this year. 2009 has been eventful for me to say the least. The year for AFOL events has been pretty impressive. lots of big ones and more big ones happening next year. There will be a bunch of travel for me, but thats the job

We’ve been getting moved into our house this last week. We’ve made a couple trips to IKEA now and we picked out some nice Night stands last night. We need to get some new paint on a couple of walls, but again we’ll get there.

I finished my christmas shopping so its nice to have that done as well. now I’m just trying to figure out what all needs to be done at work so I can get it finished up

we signed for our new house yesterday and spent our first night there last night. Its way fun. We ran around the house yelling and I played Guitar Hero really loud at midnight. We’ve been in apartements for way too long if this is what we consider a super exciting activity, but it was exciting none the less.

Christmas is quickly coming now and I’m excited about it, even though I’m out of money already
