Last weekend my new LEGO obsession continued with the incredible Star Wars Star Destroyer set, which was over 1300 pieces! I think it took about six hours over Saturday and Sunday, and the end result is huge. I really admire LEGO engineering - it's amazing how their designers figure out how to create such complex structures! Hopefully I'll take some nice photos of it this weekend. Speaking of photos, I got another light for my "studio", since I think my macro photos haven't been so great lately (I moved my setup to another part of the room, and it had a bad effect on the light somehow). Ernesto, Jonathan, Tom and I hung out at Hole in the Wall recently to see a girl play ragtime piano, which was pretty amazing, though it was weird for me since I always associate ragtime with Disneyland, but I definitely don't associate drinking bourbon with Disneyland. Matt & Kumiko sent me an amazing package of stuff from Japan, including a custom portfolio from Matt's recent photo exhibition, plus several toys and some issues of J-Life, which is a free magazine designed for semi-beginner Japanese readers. I was able to read several paragraphs at lunch, and it felt pretty good! Tonight I went to Main Event with Melinda and we played some glow golf and did the 3D theater thing, which was pretty cool, then I got hooked on crane games and won a couple stuffed animals. I guess I've been keeping busy, now that I look back on the past few days!
