Type 40?

Here’s a photo of me holding something I got for Christmas from SFL:

It’s a light up Tardis soap! Who made it? Where did she get it? Who knows! It’s small but very detailed. Here’s a close up:

It came in a pack of two with a Dalek (that doesn’t light up any more). An unusual but very cool gift.

Sooo, it must be used! And I’m posting about it today since tomorrow I shall start using it in the shower.

You could almost say that tomorrow this Tardis soap will… dematerialize 😉

Happy Birthday Momomo

It’s my birthday soon, so I thought it nice to treat my WoW avatar, Momomo, to a gift as well. Therefore I purchased for her the horribly overpriced but very, very pretty new Heart Of The Aspects cash-store mount for World of Warcraft.

It’s a glowy, amazingly animated golden dragon thing. Here’s a shot:

A pretty girl on a pretty dragon 🙂

Who Cares About The Vita?

It’s my birthday soon, a big one at that. Rumour is “it’s going to be massive”! KLS seems to be having difficulty coming up with gifts, and yesterday asked me if I wanted a Vita.

This is the new Sony handheld, which comes out next week. It’s been failing in a big way in Japan, and shockingly undermarketed (so far) in the US. So I did some investigation into the system and – more importantly – the launch games.

The answer was an overwhelming “No”! No, I don’t want this overpriced system with no good games with the only interesting aspect being one of this games is called ‘Army Corps Of Hell’. Given the reaction in Japan, and the price and lackluster launch games here in the US, I think the future for this system looks grim indeed.

Soooo… I wonder what I will get for my birthday 🙂
