• more creations and the upcoming 4th

  

  It’s a head with a clubbed tail sort of. This reminds me of some creature from a video game I think but I’m not sure exactly what. Maybe a little like those ball and chain creatures from Mario?

  

  This was supposed to be a flower originally. I’m not sure what it ended up being. It’s something though.

  I love these toys. It’s funny though I would probably have never found out about them in my entire life if I hadn’t visited my friends last fourth of July weekend.  I think that was when it was.  Was it really only a year ago? Geez it feels like an eternity. Maybe I’m confused and it was two years ago. Wouldn’t be the first time I’ve made that mistake. (<<< absentminded king remember) But anyway if that hadn’t happened then what would I be doing during my free time at work? That’s another debt I owe to those two I guess.

  I was never a big lego fan when I was growing up and I didn’t own any. Or any kind of build kits or modeling kits or anything like that. I’m not very artistically minded. Generally I’d say if it isn’t crafted out of words I’m not particularly good at creating it.  That goes for cooking, painting, drawing, and music of all forms.

  So I wonder why I love these things so much?  Building things out of them just feels so natural to me. It’s like programming… or messing with software stuff… only actually fun. Maybe it’s a little like building a Magic deck or playing a game like Sim City which I used to love, only in this I don’t have to worry about whether I win or lose or do a good job or not.

  Well that was last Fourth of July (I think). It was fun but sort of a sad memory of a bygone era now. But this Fourth of July looks like it might prove to be interesting too. Different city. Different people. But interesting nonetheless. I hope so anyway. But that’s a long ways away now. I’m getting way ahead of myself. I have to finish my work before then.

  Hmm last 4th of July I was ridiculously sick hacking and coughing for weeks and months leading up to it and for weeks afterwards. I had a nasty cold and my allergies were the worst they’ve ever been.

  And now I’m getting sick again. Huh. History repeating? Well the good news is my allergies have been way waay better since I moved here. Here’s a good rule for you, don’t go to the DC or Delaware valley area if you have allergies. I love the East coast to death, but it’s no good for the allergic.

  Yeah I’m still bored and that’s why I’m boring you with a post like this. 

  And yeah I did all those things I said I should do but didn’t want to do including go to work.  Aren’t I awesome?
