Dunn Bros.

Stuck at Dunn Bros. during office hours. Should be updating the course blog, but I couldn't resist. I have absolutely nothing to say. Or wait...
I received a care package from Australia yesterday full of Mr. Happy t-shirts and stuffed animals. It was stellar!
And oh yeah, I went game binging yesterday too. As far as hobbies go, copying DVDs to build a private library seems so mundane these days. Especially with Netflix letting you rent whatever you want for a buck. So I've switched my extracurricular activity to something legal -- buying old boardgames at thrift stores. Needless to say, Birgit was not overly thrilled at first, but my goal is to have a closet like the one in the "Royal Tenenbaums" -- overflowing with boardgames! Yesterday I scoured two different Half Price bookstores and scored six new games. The best thing about buying used games is how cheap they are. I found a vintage, 1962 Risk game in mint condition. It has a whale wearing a sailor's hat on the board! Brilliant! I found a 1958 Stratego too! All of this during the day while others were working for a living...
Ha! Okay back to my course.

Oh yeah, I also found this odd one!
