Hey,

So I really like some of the Lego models they have for the Star Wars vehicles (it doesn't help that I'm playing Lego Star Wars). Even though the prequels suck bantha ass. And I was itching to put something together and Yet Another Gundam just didn't seem worthwhile.

So I've got a Lego model (2 actually, they were on sale). And I put the smaller of them together this evening. It was fun. Didn't make any dreadful errors and it all came together. I really like how well the models turn out, but I'm a little bummed that the process of putting it together is *just* involved enough that I'm reluctant to take them apart to tinker with them. The larger model has two separate instruction books so you *know* that once I have that thing put together it's going to sit securely high on a shelf in a room where the cats can't go.

For the record I got this and this.

Hi,

Plush sub-atomic particles.

They also come in anti-matter variants

Hey,

So I'm thinking of getting an iPod. Aside from general love it/hate it recommendations (and jeffwik, let me know how the repair goes), there are two accessories I'm interested in picking up.

1.) Earbuds/headphones -- I'm told the basic earbuds that come with the iPod are only so-so, but are there any recommendations for something a bit better. Better in this case means "more comfortable" over "you can hear the bassist fart".

2.) Sleeve -- So obviously, I'm going to put my shiny new toy in a protective sleeve, but I've seen one where the iPod hung upside down from a fob that clipped to your belt. This made it easy to get at the iPod when you needed to but otherwise it was out of the way. Anyone happen to have a brand-name for something like that?

Hi,

So...I kinda want this.

And this little guy is totally me.

Although a more modern variant might be fun...

...but how could I cheat on my Dutch Treat when she's got this for me?

*sigh*
