Went to Toys 'R Us last night to get stuff for a baby shower and a toy drive at my mom's office. I want to be ten again. They had some of the best toys there, especially Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings stuff.

I want the Harry Potter LEGO sets. I'm amazed at their attention to detail, expecially in the characters themselves. I mean Harry has the scar and Dumbledore's beard is great, Hagrid is noticeably larger than the other figures meaning they actually had to use a different "mold" just for him and c'mon, Gilderoy Lockhart has dimples. How exact is that? I'm amused. And besides, it's LEGOS!

The LotR characters are even more amazing. I can't believe how much they can make these toys look like the actors. In some cases it doesn't work, but if that's not Liv Tyler,Dominic Monaghan, and Ian McKellan, I'll...I don't know, eat my hat maybe? Whatever, you get the idea.

Went to the CSU Madrigal dinner on Friday night. I haven't been to that since I was around ten I think. Still the same bad acting/puns. The singing was good, if not a tad too long. The highlight was the pipe and drum band because, well, it was a pipe and drum band.

The drummers did the most mind-boggling routine I have ever seen. Sticks in the air, playing each others drums, tossing the sticks back and forth. Just awe inspiring. I had to wonder how many black eyes occurred during practices. Once upon a time I thought of looking into joining them but a) I can't play traditional, I just can't handle the palm up style of playing and b) I can play, but dear god I'm not that coordinated. I'd kill someone, stick through the eye or something. And it would probably be me.

Forgot to mention, lack-o-sleep girl is back. WooHoo! Not so much with the WooHoo actually. I need SLEEP! But at least this explains my inability to focus on work (and thus multiple entries here).
