Monday night bloggings

Finished work:

Surprisingly Darth Vader's TIE Advanced is smaller then the interceptor model I have. Being the geek that I am, I should go a take a look at the specs to see if in "fact" it is smaller.



Why do you ask Mr. Vader is on the roof. He is tap-celebrating his most recent kill :)

------------------------------------------------------

I have switched over to CBS comedy this season. It's just so much funnier than The Office or Earl or even 30 Rock to me.

Here are some couple of quotes from Monday night:

The Big Bang Theory:

Leonard: "Don't look at me, I am not manufacturing, I am just web design..."

Two and A Half Men:

Pharmacist: "Here's tampons, Pepto, and decongestant... It's a dam to plug any river.."

I love Big Bang Theory with How I Met Your Mother running a close second. (Two and a Half Men isn't as good since the kid started growing up.)

Ahh. Guilty pleasures.

For some reason, it made me think of you! :)

I've seen the droid transporter vehicle in stores. The ship is something altogether different.

Kudos to the person who did it.

BTW, for whatever reason I kinda dislike the design of technology in the new SW movies. It's overly simplistic. While I understand the need to think somewhat in terms of original SW movies, It seems that it was a bit over the top.

That giant Lego ship is nuts! And Awesome!

Can't wait till Logan's old enough to really show an interest in Legos, and Star Wars.

I always wondered what's a good age to introduce your child to it.

My girl loves Legos, and she certainly enjoyed putting the TIE advanced together with me.

She also correctly identified the Light Saber (calling it Life Saver for a bit), and that Vader was a bad guy and a stranger :)

Still, is 5 old enough? After a brief conversation with my wife we decided that Simpsons could wait until she is seven (although she loved them at 2 ;)

Bad parent moment I guess.

I think 5 is certainly old enough. It's a toy that will develop with the child.

With Logan (2), it's the size of the pieces and he likes knocking things over and breaking them up more than he likes building right now.

Simpsons, yeah, Logan likes the theme music at least, but the more he starts to understand, the more we're going to have to regulate what he watches.

Things you never cared to know about Mayonnaise

I have decided to start a new Rubric. Once a week I will write a post about a random subject. Having the subject coming out of MY head, it can be about anything. I constantly have a lot of random "Why?" and "How does?" questions floating around in my head. I will try to explain how I arrived to the subject at hand and promise to do diligent research on Wikipedia and provide you, the unfortunate reader, with either the interesting or unusual bits of info. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! In addition to that I have a slight fetish for trivia. The rubric will be called: Things you never cared to know about Today's topic is Mayonnaise . How did I arrive to that? As I was making breakfast in the morning, I decided that I wanted to take a pita pocket and stuff it with something. The pitas are usually fairly dry, and you have to toast them. I did not have Hummus or Babaganoush (GOD! I just love saying BA-BA-GA-NOUSHHHHHHHHH!) I put a little Mayo inside to soften it up. So, ther...

Crazy ideas - UPDATED

Here's a crazy survey I thought off. If you had a time machine where would you travel first? Assuming the fact of course of universal invincibility. ----UPDATE---- As my brother mentioned, with time travel universally available getting rich schemes would be less than doable. My aim is more towards investigating great mysteries of history. Therefore: a. To the Big Bang b. To see an asteroid killing dinosaurs c. To see the exodus of Jews as it really happened d. Try to see if Jesus hubbub really happened e. Forget the past, I'd go to the year 2020 to see who winds World Series and place a bet accordingly. f. Suggested by Ilya . Back a day or to to purchase winning lottery ticket. e. Try to see if Atlantis existed. f. Travel to the future to see the explosion of our Sun. I am torn between the dinosaurs and the World Series. Please suggest the choices. Should I add Buddha and Muhammed to the list as well? From the curiousity stand-point. I still rather see the dinosaurs.

Weekend update

Finally some beautiful weather here in Chicago. We have decided to go to our regular hunting grounds at Lincoln Park Zoo. We slept well into the morning, picked up our good friends and in the company of four adults and three children went to see the animals. The photographer in me was screaming bloody murder to go out and make pictures. Thankfully my wife was very tolerant this time around with me running around like a madman taking picture of anything that moved. Lincoln Park Zoo is a great little place. It's free (if you don't consider $17 parking) they have all the animals kids love to see, and none of the animals where you stand scratching your head wondering how do you explain platipus to a 5-year-old. One bad thing that happened today, is I think i forgot to close the car, and somebody got in and stolen my Magellan GPS. Luckily nothing else was in the car, so other then that the car remained untouched. Unpleasant, but I have only myself to blame, and I think I'll live...
