Randomly and without warning, my kneecap will decide to go chill on the side of my knee instead of where it belongs. That somewhat complicates simple tasks.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Just recently, I was working out and my kneecap once again said, "Fuck this shit, I'm gonna go over there." Now what was I doing to cause that? Some sort of lower body machine? No. You would think that, but no. I was in fact in the process of sitting when I gracefully lost my balance and my knee was not having that mess.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">At first I was shocked. A few years ago, I had surgery that was supposed to fix this little inconvenience. I tried to get it back in to place on my own, but it just wasn't happening. That's when the ambulance was called. By the time they arrived, I was in a lot of pain, so after three attempts at finding my vein, I was finally given some relief.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br />It was then we learned that when I am under the influence of Demerol, I become quite...interesting. As the paramedics worked on getting me onto a stretcher, I was alternating between threatening to sue and laughing hysterically at the posters on the wall. Once on the ambulance, I requested that we stop for pancakes on the way to the emergency room and then I wanted to play Angry Birds on the clipboard my new best friend Paramedic Guy was writing on.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">I made it to the ER, was carted away to a room. A doctor examined my knee and saw that it was indeed messed up. They transferred me to a bed at which point my kneecap decided to go back to where it belongs and all was well once again. Sort of.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">In a few weeks, I'll be finding out if I need a second surgery. So that's the wild and crazy time I've been having and the reason I haven't updated the blog recently. It's a non-stop party over here.</span>K.

I celebrated my first wedding anniversary on New Year's Eve and it was wonderful.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Now it's back to the grind. My other half is off to training with the Army this month and I'm back to work at both of my jobs and going to school. One of my job's is at a gym. We personally love the first month of the new year there. That's when our sales and attendance skyrocket from those people trying to get started on their resolutions. That made me think.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">I've never been one to make resolutions, so of course this year is no different. Now I'm thinking that maybe I should give it a try. I've been on one of my writing droughts where everything I write sounds like crap to me and I have zero ideas and my computer's recycle bin gets pretty darn filled.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">I'm going to attempt to have some sort of start to a story mashed together next month. I make no promises, but I really do need to try to at least be an author...sort of (see what I did there?). Here's to hoping the Good Idea Fairy comes and bops me on the head. Cheers.</span>K.

I love that word, don't you?</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Day Twenty-Three: Presents!</span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Lego presents. Meh, I guess that's decent. Presents are a staple of Christmas. A practical Lego item.</span><br />

I mean, cancelling Christmas is a bit much. Maybe today will be better.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Day Twenty-Two: Reasonably Nice Sled</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">OK, so it's a sled. It attaches to the ATV. That's fun, right? </span></div>
<br />

<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">With only a few days left, I am confident that the next two items will amaze. Surely the Lego calendar people would not disappoint children (and goofy authors) so close to Christmas. I am cautiously optimistic.</span></div>

Here we are at the end of the world. Just kidding, but I can only imagine what awesomely hilarious and topical item is in today's calendar.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Day Twenty-One: Fucking Traffic Cones</span><br />

I <i>thought</i> I'd left my phone at home. I seriously emptied my purse when I got to work and it wasn't in there. Well a few hours into the slowest shift in history, I go into my purse for some mints and there it is. Madness!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Day Twenty: Nothing Says Christmas Like Snow Shovels</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">I am unimpressed. Maybe it's because I've never had much snow in my life, but a wheelbarrow and shovel doesn't seem very festive. It's 5 days until Christmas. I want my Lego calendar spitting out elves riding reindeer giving out presents to British orphans who will then gallivant about the village with a terminally melty snowman until Santa arrives with baby Jesus and flamethrower. After all, 'tis the season.</span></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Well, at least those two are having fun. So not all is lost.</span>K.

Normally, Monday is the only day I don't have to work at either of my jobs, but this week I had to work at Curves so I spent half of today confused thinking it was Friday.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">To make up for that, I opened the Lego calendar I little earlier than usual to give myself a little bit of joy before I had to run off to work.</span><br />

This also means that we only have one week left of playing with Legos unless somebody invents and then gives me a Just Because January Lego Calendar.</span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Day Seventeen: Snowball Launcher of DOOOOOOM</span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">First, I was confused. Then I was elated. You'll see the little warning in the corner that warns me not to hit people in the head. I laughed and did it anyway.</span></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">So yes, this Snowball Launcher totally works. Also, my cat hates me now.</span>K.

For my side of the family, at least. I'm feeling all adult now, actually being done with something before the last minute. Gives me more time to play with Legos!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Day Sixteen: Cindy the Lego Girl-Child</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tq9HZAA0cBw/UM5iCu7PrxI/AAAAAAAAAO4/ai02D7wlLiY/s1600/121216_0001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tq9HZAA0cBw/UM5iCu7PrxI/AAAAAAAAAO4/ai02D7wlLiY/s320/121216_0001.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Cindy came with snowballs as well. Poorly designed ones that none of the Lego citizens can grasp, but again, I digress. But I don't think snowball fighting is what's on these kids' minds. It's young love!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ATmSU_p37A0/UM5iDndG9rI/AAAAAAAAAPA/hX_gtfGqbCg/s1600/121216_0002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ATmSU_p37A0/UM5iDndG9rI/AAAAAAAAAPA/hX_gtfGqbCg/s320/121216_0002.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Scruffy got that bitch some hot chocolate. Bitches love hot chocolate.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Maybe it's premature sadness, but I can feel with each passing day that this is coming to an end. Why doesn't every month have one of these? I mean, I know it's a religious thing blah blah Jesus blah. But that's not what this one is about. This one is about pure plastic bricky joy. I want Lego prizes for every day of the year. My life is gonna suck when this is over!</span>K.

It seems like just yesterday that I was starting this thing and now there are only ten days until Christmas!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Day Fifteen: Storage and Bionic Woman</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zqd0W811tLk/UM0gOVGTY3I/AAAAAAAAAOc/46AXc7FJXNs/s1600/121215_0000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zqd0W811tLk/UM0gOVGTY3I/AAAAAAAAAOc/46AXc7FJXNs/s320/121215_0000.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">At first I thought storage was a dumb day's worth of items, but I do love that everything is so nice and organized now. If you recall, Felicia was involved in a head fire incident. That accident turned out to be the most bad ass thing that has ever happened. We have rebuilt her. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Finally, a fire for Clyde and Felicia to fight! This is their moment to shine. With the help of his "special friend", Clyde sprung into action. Felicia sprung as well, but since she can't wear a helmet...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4qfaFdAUGL8/UMwHyRThavI/AAAAAAAAAOE/j2eb0k1UGoM/s1600/121214_0002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4qfaFdAUGL8/UMwHyRThavI/AAAAAAAAAOE/j2eb0k1UGoM/s320/121214_0002.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Her head caught on fire. Always wear a helmet, boys and girls.</span>K.

So I didn't have time to have expectations for today.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Day Thirteen: Desk Area of Ordinariness</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MIz3HLawGAQ/UMqLQ1w-z-I/AAAAAAAAANg/G66zCZ_yDH4/s1600/121213_0000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MIz3HLawGAQ/UMqLQ1w-z-I/AAAAAAAAANg/G66zCZ_yDH4/s320/121213_0000.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">My reaction to this is a resounding, "Meh." It's a solid day's worth of Lego objects. It's no ATV, but at least it's not stairs.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-b9uxSOtcFfI/UMqLUUR9PqI/AAAAAAAAANo/ipIdI9QvPSA/s1600/121213_0001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-b9uxSOtcFfI/UMqLUUR9PqI/AAAAAAAAANo/ipIdI9QvPSA/s320/121213_0001.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Scruffy the Helmeted Hooligan is pretending to work at the computer. If you're wondering why he's standing in the chair, it's because Lego children are of the devil and don't bend at the waist. It's creepy.</span>K. Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15260996380617168884noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-77181790820084097.post-44434365900944597242012-12-12T20:13:00.002-06:002012-12-12T20:13:46.634-06:00Lego Advent Calendar: Day 12<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Oh, what a day. I work at Curves and we're going through some big changes there. It's cool and exciting and all, but 3 days of training means I have to wake up in the early. And I don't like the early. Plus, one of my co-workers gave me a cold (thank you, jerk).</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Today was also an adventure because my puppy had surgery yesterday. When my husband went to pick him up, they tried to charge him over $100 more than they said on the estimate. So I had to take care of that. And by that I mean, verbally bitch slap. Now little Ringo is missing his balls and part of his liver (he had it biopsied because of some abnormal test results). He's loopy on puppy meds and wearing the Cone of Shame.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qL2T6DwCtwE/UMk4hBraXjI/AAAAAAAAAM8/8_XmNQTZIIU/s1600/121212_0000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qL2T6DwCtwE/UMk4hBraXjI/AAAAAAAAAM8/8_XmNQTZIIU/s320/121212_0000.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Anyway, on with things!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Day Twelve: Felicia Fancybottom</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vYZLXiTVzH8/UMk4tBqC3gI/AAAAAAAAANE/kS1irHmeWk4/s1600/121212_0003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vYZLXiTVzH8/UMk4tBqC3gI/AAAAAAAAANE/kS1irHmeWk4/s320/121212_0003.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">I didn't have high expectations. I don't think yesterday's item can be topped.Yesterday freaking rocked.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Overall, Felicia is pretty cool. Although she doesn't have Lego boobies, she does have make up and hair that makes it impossible for her to wear a helmet. So I guess she's just SOL if debris strikes her in the head.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Here she is posing seductively with a radio.</span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Today's item is just...epic. If it keeps up at this pace, I might just melt into a puddle of pure joy before I even make it to Christmas.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Day Eleven: A Friggin' ATV</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">When I first saw this, I thought it was a snow mobile. Which is cool. Then I had the sudden realization that the wheels from yesterday can snap on to this bitch. And it actually rolls! My phone (which I use to take these pictures) is a useless piece of crap, so I doubt video quality would be any good. Rest assured, it's possibly the most amazing thing ever.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Anyway, when we left off Clyde, Pooch, and Scruffy were just chillin'. Today's item makes a lot of sense of things in more ways than one.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Day Ten: Dolly and Tires of Clarity</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Tires! Pooch isn't a plumber! He's a mechanic. Everything makes sense now! These Lego tires are pretty cool. They actually have a rubbery texture. Speaking of rubbers...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Maybe it was the Dos Equis I had. Maybe it's because I got to shoot things with a gun! Don't ask me what kind of gun. All I know is it went bang. I'm not very good at aiming, so that paper target man's crotch never stood a chance. I take that as a sign I could at least protect myself.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Day Nine: Pooch the Plumber</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wAFFEksn2bM/UMVl57z-ObI/AAAAAAAAALo/_juUJHh1LHY/s1600/121209_0000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wAFFEksn2bM/UMVl57z-ObI/AAAAAAAAALo/_juUJHh1LHY/s320/121209_0000.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">The first thing I noticed about this guy is that his wrench is almost comically huge compared to the rest of his body. My second thought: What exactly is he supposed to be fixing? I don't have any Lego sinks or Lego toilets. He's about as useless as Clyde (since there has yet to be a fire).</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">So basically my Lego town is now an episode of Two and a Half Men, except with slightly less cocaine and much less crazy religious fanaticism.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Let me just end by saying, you're definitely going to want to check by here again tomorrow. Not only will there be Legos, but Evernight is having another awesome blog hop you don't want to miss.</span>K. Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15260996380617168884noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-77181790820084097.post-92177322831462258652012-12-08T19:26:00.003-06:002012-12-08T19:26:25.031-06:00Lego Advent Calendar: Day 8<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I can't decide if this thing is making the month move by faster or slower. Either way, my collection of Lego objects is growing by the day. I'm saving all the extra pieces and at the end of the month, I'm going to try to make some sort of creation out of them. We'll see if that works. So far it's all useless crap.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Day Eight: Super Skis and Super Ski Storage</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b-KAv4UaxJU/UMPnmGAfBJI/AAAAAAAAALM/mJxP61F-p80/s1600/121208_0000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b-KAv4UaxJU/UMPnmGAfBJI/AAAAAAAAALM/mJxP61F-p80/s320/121208_0000.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">By the design of the storage, you can tell it's fire fighting related. Because it's got red and bricks. Dead giveaway. I'm still trying to figure out the functionality of skis when it comes to fighting fires. I've got nothing. Either way, they're not awful. Scruffy can't really use them because of his lack of ability to bend at the waist (he's very sensitive about that).</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aU7l_Jrlo0A/UMPoNSMKspI/AAAAAAAAALU/Ov6fl5a1Vuw/s1600/121208_0003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aU7l_Jrlo0A/UMPoNSMKspI/AAAAAAAAALU/Ov6fl5a1Vuw/s320/121208_0003.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">My socks were not blown off, but it's a decent item. Plus, gotta love having more storage. You can never have too much of that.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Tomorrow, I'm hoping for a Lego lady. Because these two need a touch of femininity in their lives. And I want to see what Lego boobs look like.</span></div>

Either that, or after the crappy day I had, they could have given me a plain brick and it would have been the best damn brick ever.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Day Seven: Confusing Toy Firetruck</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-M5M0N2rcihg/UMKj3RRby8I/AAAAAAAAAKo/o_xfbrfAc7A/s1600/121207_0000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-M5M0N2rcihg/UMKj3RRby8I/AAAAAAAAAKo/o_xfbrfAc7A/s320/121207_0000.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">At first I thought it was an actual Lego people firetruck, but then what was that other thing? Derp. I realized it's a remote control. It's a toy firetruck. My Lego people, who are themselves toys, now have a toy to play with. Toy-ception.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Anyway so I put it together. I think it's cute. The remote even has a little handle, but neither of my Lego citizens can hold the remote and remain standing. Those crazy unbalanced bastards.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Day Six: Scruffy the Helmet Kid</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-P8FZd_l-MwY/UMFPSh-T3RI/AAAAAAAAAKE/dAd-mR857wE/s1600/121206_0000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-P8FZd_l-MwY/UMFPSh-T3RI/AAAAAAAAAKE/dAd-mR857wE/s320/121206_0000.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Finally, Clyde is not alone. Today we meet Scruffy. He has a helmet. He also came with pieces that I assume are snowballs, but they don't fit in his hand so poor design choice there, Lego makers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ecrrT2_ylKs/UMFPxLn4KNI/AAAAAAAAAKM/gVbvCM7OMEw/s1600/121206_0001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ecrrT2_ylKs/UMFPxLn4KNI/AAAAAAAAAKM/gVbvCM7OMEw/s320/121206_0001.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Scruffy is a Lego child, which means that while his arms are the same length as an adult Lego person, he has no joints for his legs to bend. It's a bit tragic. He'll never sit down. But at least his posture is good.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-llJcW89NvXc/UMFQPERZcbI/AAAAAAAAAKU/xTbo-cQEwZA/s1600/121206_0003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-llJcW89NvXc/UMFQPERZcbI/AAAAAAAAAKU/xTbo-cQEwZA/s320/121206_0003.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Clyde hasn't been around children before so he doesn't realize it was probably a bad idea to give Scruffy an ax, but it's necessary. Clyde must teach Scruffy how to fight fires and alien invaders and He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.</span></div>

I don't even want to open anymore doors nothing can live up to the magnificence that is today's item.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">I'm just kidding.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Day Five: Fucking Storage</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kN0FBg3TExk/UMARErbyDHI/AAAAAAAAAJg/tMz0xvHpSgc/s1600/121205_0000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kN0FBg3TExk/UMARErbyDHI/AAAAAAAAAJg/tMz0xvHpSgc/s320/121205_0000.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">I guess it's alright. It came with an ax. Axes are cool.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6e_W5lTtJdA/UMAReqAwjmI/AAAAAAAAAJo/s8ev_SHfV4c/s1600/121205_0001+(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6e_W5lTtJdA/UMAReqAwjmI/AAAAAAAAAJo/s8ev_SHfV4c/s320/121205_0001+(1).jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">I just can't get excited about this. Yeah, it's a convenient place to store all his fire fighting gear but does he really need it. Preparedness is key, but there aren't going to be any fires. After all, how would they get started to begin with?</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BpNfLw9Nf6Q/UMAR_yrswBI/AAAAAAAAAJw/Y6ApkkVnsb4/s1600/121205_0002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BpNfLw9Nf6Q/UMAR_yrswBI/AAAAAAAAAJw/Y6ApkkVnsb4/s320/121205_0002.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Clyde is now contemplating his own mortality and the meaning of life. There seriously needs to be a Lego person behind the next door. Clyde needs to get laid.</span>K. Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15260996380617168884noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-77181790820084097.post-38520302904310527532012-12-04T19:30:00.001-06:002012-12-04T19:30:28.722-06:00Lego Advent Calendar: Day 4<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">We left off with high hopes that today's door would contain Clyde's companion. Spoiler alert: It didn't. Life is so full of bitter disappointments, a lesson Clyde knows all too well because the cat knocked him over twice today.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Day Four: Useless Stairs and Fucking Awesome Magic Wand</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Pz53g7h1RbQ/UL6gyWrAzEI/AAAAAAAAAJE/W4YXxsmwe34/s1600/121204_0000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Pz53g7h1RbQ/UL6gyWrAzEI/AAAAAAAAAJE/W4YXxsmwe34/s320/121204_0000.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">I don't even get what the stairs are for. There are only three of them. Where are they supposed to lead?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">The redeeming thing about today is the magic wand. It's beautiful. It's wonderful. It's all that is good in the world. Clyde is probably the biggest BAMF in the Lego universe. He's got a fucking wand. He's a wizard AND a Time Lord.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8oMTwNxA9ZA/UL6hzjQ1sHI/AAAAAAAAAJM/3-bFrybzuqc/s320/121204_0001.jpg" width="320" /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Now I know why we've yet to see another Lego person. They're intimidated by his awesome.</span></div>
