And for Cinco de Mayo, five adorable Lego Avengers. Well one Asgard bad guy and four Avengers, but all Lego and all cute!

Also go see the Avengers movie!

Sweet treat of the day. Found in the window at our local bakery.

Since I couldn’t bring everything awesome home from Disneyland, I had to be a little picky. These weren’t easy choices but it was fairly apparent that certain items just couldn’t be left behind. So here is my Disney loot. =)

Yup, thats two lightsabers. I could have easily built more. Definitely a highlight of the trip. =)

Cuteness abounds at Disneyland, and though I find myself mostly immune to its lure, these three stuffies hit below the belt.

Awwwwww baby Pooh!! Plushy Tigger cuteness!!! Plushy baby Storm Trooper? COME ON! So not fair.

A while ago Disney bought Marvel for a mere $4 billion. Seemed to make sense. Balance out their predominance of Princesses with some Superheros.

Its been over two years now and I was hoping to see some impact of this merger on our trip to Disneyland. I am sad to report that there are currently no Marvel rides.

What I did find was Marvel merchandise. Although there were no Mickey Mouse dressed as Captain America cross overs. How awesome would Pooh Bear look dressed as Iron Man?! (Charles Wilson III’s Pooh as the Hulk.)

Watch the video, but be prepared for the geeky, because it is geeky awesome!

For anyone who played the fabulous Phantom Hourglass, this game will look and feel familiar. Sprit Tracks, the fifteenth Zelda game, maintains a similar art style and core game mechanics.

While Phantom Hourglass was a direct continuation of its predecessor (Wind Waker), Spirit Tracks departs from this with a whole new story and theme.

Santa brought me a new Xbox 360, which should be good right? It is, in that I can finally finish Portal 2. But I’m still bummed that our old Xbox which had so little actual run time, crapped out. I don’t relish giving more money to a company that made such a crappy product.

While the new Xbox is actually really great (pains me to say). It is far smaller, much cuter, and so unexpectedly quiet. But it also didn’t have any of my saved games on it. Get this, to get my saved games off of my old Xbox I would have had to purchase a special wire to facilitate the transfer. More money to Microsoft? Hell No! Thankfully a friend of ours offered to download all the hard drive content to a USB drive. So now I really can finish Portal 2.

Santa’s gift, though mostly necessary, wasn’t really what I wanted. Thankfully my family came through with these awesome Star Wars lunch boxes. I might just have to find some excuse to go back to school. Picnic maybe?

To go along with the lunch boxes, were Marvel and Star Wars cookie cutters. My holiday baking will obviously have to continue!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season.

The single iPad in our house really belongs to my husband. This has never posed a problem, as I haven’t found much use for it. Then he shared Battleheart with me. This addictive little game is almost good enough to cause iPad fights.

Although Battleheart is a very accomplished game, the few items of great annoyance have tempered my addiction enough to save us from having to purchase iPad #2. =)

This is brilliant! These folks figured out how to make a wedding album worth sharing.
