These magnetic balls really work supoibly--they really are all the same size, it's just an optical illusion here because one side of the bowl thing I made is closer than the other side.
This sand creature is actually 6 feet wide so that gives you some idea of the scale of the bowl. And that would make each magnetic ball like a small canon ball. Hmm, do you think they'll believe that?
Where's the tooth brushing wallah? Speaking of teeth, I was complaining last saturday morning about my tooth hurting while I ate dry cheerios so papa made me put milk on them. At lunch time, the tooth still hurt so papa asks if it was loose and what do you know? It was. So papa says, 'you want me to take it out?' and I told him ok and he reached into my mouth, grabbed the tooth and pulled it right out. There was only a little blood, and amazingly, very little pain and no screaming. I keep forgetting to put the tooth under my pillow so no visit from the tooth ferry yet. I also had overnights in Willie's room two nights in a row, so the tooth ferry wouldn't have been able to find me anyway.
Quit pulling my hair and make with the tooth brushing or I'll give you what for.
Ever since my (Willie) bar mitzvah, I've been eyeing ebay for screaming deals on bionicles, but I lost a couple of auctions and then papa suggested trying craigslist and I saw that somebody was selling a tub of mixed parts with no instructions--perfect! So I offered them less than what they wanted and because it had been up there for a week, they accepted my offer. Woo hoo. [Ho hum sez Teddy--eyeroll]
I think there are more than 30 bionicles in here--this will make a perfect compliment to our bionicle army.
Now, lets see what I can do about a computer stand. Papa said that I shouldn't have the machine down on my desk because them I hunch down over it and ruin my posture. Aha, cardboard box--that's an excellent idea. Easy, cheap, stable...not so much.
Wait a second, can I build stuff out of k'nex or can't I? Actually Papa came up with the suggestion of using k'nex, and let me know what the minimum acceptable height for an ergonomically correct setup would be, and then I built it.
It came out really well, and it can handle the weight of the computer no problem. I'm going to build add-ons for the ipod and maybe a cord management system as well.
It's not made of space age aluminum, but it didn't cost me anything either. I'd say that's a WIN!
Okay, GQ cool guy in PJ's cover shot. Now leave me alone so I can play with my bionicles.
Take pictures of me instead. I'm not getting nearly enough attention this issue. People keep asking me what I'm going to do with my hair and I don't know how to answer that question because my hair is doing the useful function of being on my head. Now quit asking me.
This is actually a picture from our memorial day bbq--mommy was with the Tantes so we went boy crazy--with meat! And french fries! Yang yang yang yang. Narf.
