Delightedly this past Saturday, the 4th day of Channukah, 5768, I was given gifts, which, upon further reflection after many minutes of glee, seem to be items one would attribute to a geeky 15 year old. I don’t even care – they are so friggen cool.
Star Wars: A Pop-Up Guide to the Galaxy is flat out ridiculous in its intricacies – please find a store and find this book. If you have to buy it to see inside, do it. You will not be disappointed. Another book I was given, The Sandman: Endless Nights by Neil Gaiman, is a great collection by one of the best authors out there and Super Mario Galaxy has been named “The greatest Nintendo platformer ever made.” Oh yeah, I also got an outdoor fleece perfect for running, skiing or dog walking and a really nice dinner out at a seafood place on Long Island (cue “The Downeaster Alexa”).
Yup, I’m a geek (among other things) but the people around me seem also to know me best. Thanks all. ‘Nuff said.
