Finally caught up on #bigbrother after 2 weeks of painting the exterior of my house and then out of town for a work conference. Haven't seen any socials or stories. So total surprise. But sooooooo glad the house voted against Rachel's wishes. That was almost better than who was evicted

Damn, I guess I missed out on a $40 droid that doubles as a platform, plus two action figures and a diorama that isn't related to the OT...

Oh well.

I do not have the space, nor the budget. But damn I just put in my pre-order for this. And then pre-ordered another GI Joe Classified Retro B.A.T. to act as the driver. But maybe I should get another Cobra Commander...I spend too much effing money on things. Someone needs to take my phone away....

In the U.P. visiting family; driving into Marquette and gas was $2.99 at Meijer. Went to eat. Picked up a prescription for my mom at Walgreens. Drove past Meijer again (maybe 2 hours later) and gas was now $3.38. WTF!?!

I do not like poetry:
stanzas
meters
rhymes
or the words contorted to imply:
this one
moment
in your life
means something more than those in mine

I have never paid after-market prices for a new toy. It sometimes takes work, and sometimes have to pay standard shipping fees I try not to pay. But if people stopped paying scalpers everyone would get things for retail price. But what do I know ...
And the lesson here is 'if you miss out, just wait.'

Ah, my favorite time of year: when my friends complain how they pay to have someone else prepare their taxes, but never complain how much they pay the other 364 days of the year for someone to change their oil, or cook a steak, or shop for them in Wally. Or from where their own salary is derived.

Sans his trusty steed, loyal sidekick and six-shooters, this is still the only cowboy I admire. #VintageToyTuesday

Worked from home today, which meant I actually got sh&t done, without getting interrupted 43 times an hour (love my co-workers all the same).

Best part was, I finally got to listen to some new albums.

#LadyGaga 'Mayhem' is FIRE. Still like 'Joanne' best. But 'Mayhem' is a close, close second.

Well, looky-looky. Somebody (me) got me a box of #RamenToys noodles for my birthday!

Another year older today, to cherish the days behind, and ponder the days the ahead.

Today, I plan to play with my toys. Though, a few years ago, I wrote this because I thought birthdays celebrated getting older, instead of staying young.

As a 9 year old, I believed with all my sharp little teeth, that Burger King had the absolute best cheeseburgers. That it included a toy of a character I'd later find in dad's comics was just a bonus.

But, even before I knew Archie, I could tell these two kids were going places.
