A cascade of geek

A friend of mine (Beka - who does not update her blog nearly enough) bought me Josiah some stuff. Beka is one of my very geek friends (ie, the friends I spent most of my social time with).

I could spend the next few paragraphs about how awesome these gifts are, but if you follow my blog you know I tend to speak in pictures. So, let's just get moving along shall we?

First up is arguably the coolest. A small, plush, Optimus Prime.  The thing has like 7 points of articulation and she had to order if from friggin Japan. There is so much awesome in this picture you might need to wear shades. Seriously, it's Gizmo, Winnie the Pooh, a panda and Optimus Prime. The photo itself almost exploded.

The next gift takes 3 pictures to explain. At first, it just looks like a plastic death star. Cool, but, you know...meh.

That's no moon.

But then you take the top of it and it becomes an f-ing planetarium thing. In a dark room it projects the night sky of earth on the ceiling and walls. Awesome right?

Okay, that's cool.

So, the Death star thing is cool, but it's not done. You take off the black part and it projects the friggin Star Wars friggin GALAXY! (!). 

That. Is. No. Moon.

The next two gifts are so pure geek I almost cried. If you don't get what they are or why they are cool, I'm so very sorry. If you do, you are awesome.

Gamer candy.

Plus, I can now use the crib as a craps table.

So, big thanks to Beka for the sweet new toys for Josiah me.
