Happy Birthday To Me

20130303-071331.jpg

Here I am cutting the cake with my parents watching. This was done via Facetime last night. Mum thought I looked’ manic’ 🙂

It’s the morning of my birthday right now, and everyone else is asleep. I’ll open my gifts soon. I wonder what I’ll get?

Addendum: The gifts have been open and they were abundant indeed! This is mostly because I went crazy buying myself stuff (mostly gamebooks and old TSR AD&D manuals), but also because I received fine items from KLS and her parents.

Highlights include: a new Lego Technic crane set, a Kotobukiya ‘Bishoujo’ Power Girl statue, two (!) Revoltech Monster Hunter figurines, the Drizzt board game and the Atari Flashback TV game console.

As KLS said “all games and toys” 🙂

A TITANIC ANNOUNCEMENT!

Can you hear it? That’s the sound of excitement…

Can you feel it? That buzzing in the air? That’s the sound of anticipation…

The moment foretold by history has (once again) arrived:

We’re going back to JAPAN!
