Today, the LEGO catalog came in the mail. The front cover made me insanely giddy. Batman LEGOs. Batman. A Batmobile. A Batwing. A Joker-copter. The Bat-hoverboat. Batman minifigs. Joker minifigs. Two-Face minifigs. Killer Croc minifigs. Okay, that last one’s a little strange. Killer Croc, but no Robin. Batman LEGOs. I can hear the Denny ElfmanContinue reading “On Geekdom”

On the LEGO Star Wars Artwork
At Easter I gave my sister a few of the display sleeves we received at the store for the LEGO Star Wars video game. She manages a frame shop, and I asked for her to frame one–preferably the XBox cover, but she suggested the PlayStation 2 cover because the artwork was cleaner on the “front.”Continue reading “On the LEGO Star Wars Artwork”
On Commander Cody
Playing LEGO Star Wars the other day I had to complete a mission and hunt down General Grievous with Obi-Wan and his partner. A clone trooper, named Commander Cody. My friend Todd complained about the character for having a dorky name on his LiveJournal today. Sure, it’s a dorky name. Sure, it doesn’t sound likeContinue reading “On Commander Cody”

Oh, I've Been Busy
For the better part of the past week (the last six days, to be precise) I’ve been at our newest store in Wake Forest, first setting up the shelves, stocking the shelves, then organizing the store for business. Long days, hard days, and in the middle of interviewing an applicant yesterday I yawned, apologized forContinue reading “Oh, I've Been Busy”
Stones and Glass
I should be worried. I knew the two baseball teams in Gotham City without having to look it up. I even knew which league each team is in. (For those of you wondering, Gotham City hosts the Monarchs, of the National League, and the Knights, of the American League. The Monarchs replaced the Griffins, whoContinue reading “Stones and Glass”
