That Death Star set is so cool! I'm in the midst of ordering the figures on ebay--Owen wants Chewbacca. The Agent series is pretty awesome. We'll probably get the command center for Christmas.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

Emmett's favorites (aside from those mentioned) are in the Batman series: the Batcave and Arkham.
Also, if you haven't played the Lego computer games for Star Wars, Batman and Indiana Jones well they're very very fun.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
So I'm at a bar, which is mostly deserted, because NYC is empty on July 4, and the DJ is playing nothing but Jackson 5 songs. It's kind of awesome.
Jealous!
I watched the fireworks from the GWB. It was interesting seeing fireworks silently and basically at eye-level.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Bob went to a party but I was feeling too antisocial to go. So it's me and the cats and tofu mac & cheese, which I'm oddly ok with.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
When I took Emmett to the Lego store earlier in the day I spotted this. So I felt obliged to get it for Matilda. Who is, indeed, contentedly playing with it now.
Polar bear!

I'll also note that EM didn't pay $500+ for it. It was more like $300 when we ordered. Still a big ticket xmas item but not mortgaging the house.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OMG, my aparment is suddenly filled with a sulfur smell.
I think Satan just teleported here.

Did you sell your soul for the Star Wars Lego Death Star playset?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Do you watch Supernatural?

Yeah, but according to the online form I filled out, Satan isn't supposed to show up for 13 months.
Bah. I bet Satan figured out I'm an atheist. (And as we all know, atheist souls are worth less on the open market.)
