Nice collection of goodies all told. Looked at the loot crate the last few months by comparison, and the nerd block is much more to my preference.

First up- t-shirt. Darth Vader join me in OBEY style

Edward Kenway Assassin’s creed figure (picture found on the web, mine is still packaged, in case someone wants to trade for it)

A day of the dead style Klingon to go with my Kirk and Borg we got from Third Eye Comics.

Tom Hanks via The Simpsons

Wacky packages stickers (with a weird security device I thought was gum.)

Legend of Zelda figure

This is stuck in my head now…. moving from topic to topic quite hypnotic

Also tonight Allison got Zimbabwe world party for our Wii… looks good!

Watched

Farscape pilot

United States of Tara

Going with me to the post office to see if March has come in yet.

Update – not there yet. Allison’s yarn arrived.

TIL that when Koko, the gorilla famous for knowing sign language, was asked where gorillas go after death, she responded by signing “Comfortable hole, bye.”

What did we do today?

The ides of March.

Cookout on the grill… nice day before the possibility of snow on Monday. Had Van and the in-laws over for kielbasa and hot dogs with baked beans, chips and garlic green beans.

I gave Van my old version one kindle fire so he could have a web surfing / email device… I think he’ll get a kick out of it. It’s not as good as the hdx or version 2, but he’s appreciative, I think.

Went to Solomon’s to visit the lotus cafe for brunch…quite good!
