Ok, here are my crazy purchases.
I spent more than I should have but it was my first paycheck and I felt like splurging a bit.
And so far I'm absolutely ecstatic with what I got so... bite me.
The first item and the one I've been eyeing for the longest.

It's a murse! Yeah, shut up. I think it's cool. I love the High Voltage thing. And it's going to be my audio bag for my headphones and stuff.
Wehrleboy], you may remember me talking about it to you.
Next is a Mensa Certified Game

So basically, how it works is every turn you put down one marble and you turn one of the four squares 90.
And the object is to get 5 in a row.
"Seconds to Learn, Years to Master" Apparently.
Hopefully it'll be fun. I'm optimistic
And lastly I got four small puzzles:
All of them are very difficult. Some deceptively so. So far only one person in my office has solved only one of them. And it's only because he has some experience with a similar one.

This one is a very cool double sided maze. Some people think it looks very simple, others think it looks very complicated. It's even more complicated than that
But it's endless fun to play with, even if it's arguably the easiest of the four.

This is the one my office mate solved. The goal is to separate the two pieces. However, there are no ways to manipulate it from the outside. There are ball-bearings or something inside that must be manipulated through rotating it. I think this is the hardest of all of them, but I also think it's the most beautiful. And it feels so solid sitting in your hand
Well, that's the results of my excessive spending.
Now I need to clean my room.
deathlybeauty is coming to visit tomorrow and I can't wait. She'll be the third member from the site I've met in person and it's her first time in Boston. I can't wait to show her around.
There will most likely be a blog detailing her visit and hopefully full of pictures if one of us remembers.
I think that's it for now kiddies. Hope you enjoy
