I bought an awesome Mad Planets for $50!
I’m still in shock, these things can transpire so quickly. Yesterday was a normal day, push through the leadership coursework, caught up with a couple of people, sit down in front of my computer and what do I have waiting in my RSS feeds?

Today when I got home, the boxes were sitting on the doorstep.

Mr. Do! Roadtrip to Chicago

Universal Mr. Do! is finally mine!
It was a crazy week, an exam and two papers and then the July 4th holiday weekend and a fun time with family. But at the end, I knew that I would be traveling to finally pick up my own, original, Universal Mr. Do! arcade game. (more…)
