You too?

Arkham Horror was my Christmas present last year. I also got Wiz War at Frolicon, and a friend painted all the minis. Said friend gave me Apples to Apples this year, and we bought Star Trek: Catan with some of our wedding monies this year.

OMG KEN THERIOT

We didn't bother with a tree this year. We put our lights on our Tardis. Guess where we are putting our presents? IN the Tardis. Bonus: No kitty nommings of the bows.

One that is absolutely a must for my thinking is Best Destiny by Diane Carey, a novel which is an excellent look into Kirk's past and emotions and thoughts. It really explores the idea of destiny and how your past defines your future, but doesn't necessarily control it, and that it's your decisions and actions that…

Arrrrrggg!

I'm just.... why blur the can of soda? Why even BOTHER. Who's gonna be able to tear their eyes away from the purple monstrosity beside it?

I HAD THE SAME THING. My grandpa and grandma made a Victorian dollhouse they made, with working electricity and everything, and I had the Bear family and a few others. I loved those family animals. I intend to restore the dollhouse, which was played with very hard, for my own daughter, and I'm pretty sure all those…

They would call the percussion sets the Toy Chest, and there were blocks to mimic horses hooves and horns and sirens and all sorts of stuff. Some of them were reaaaaallly elaborate.

Fantasm shout out!

Me too. Esp. up in the sewing/art loft. I make my own patterns, and also learned in an apprenticeship to never cut out store-bought patterns. Instead, I retrace them onto tracing paper, which lets me make changes without modifying the original pattern. But it leaves me with a TON of patterns, which are stored in…

It's not technically a gadget, but it cost more than my laptop... My set of Tria Pantone markers from Letraset, bought in 2003. We got it on sale for $900, the set retailed for $1700 or therabouts. It was the art directors set, came in a freaking bomb box: grey metal, five locking latches, foam shaped to hold each…

That's how my husband came into this world! Trufax!

*hugs* No one should have to go thru stuff like that.

I'm married and on birth-control AND I voted for Obama. So does that make me an evil married slut? I must be duping my poor husband. But... he voted for Obama too... does that make him a slut? I HOPE SO.

Goddammit Fetlife.

Look, I know the science in Volcano is a load of crap. I don't care. I love that movie. Every cheesy, magma-melted gooey moment.

Me and the Husband in our Time-Lord wedding finery. (pic is accidentally big, so click to view)

I dunno, did it keep catching on fire when you were there? It's been a few years, but when we went in 2004, one of the staff causally mentioned that the reason it kept getting shut down was that one of the mummy robots kept catching on fire from the pyrotechnic effects...
