More gundams

I put together Buster Gundam last night. He's a little bit beefier than Strike Gundam, like a bigger brother. It gives him a nice "playground bully" look. He's also dors that swing up to reveal rocket pods in his shoulders. Neat!

My niece at play

Spent a few hours with my family at my mom's house which always means some time playing with my niece who is now age 7. My mom turned my bedroom into my niece's playroom and it's got a dollhouse and blocks and lots of plush toys (most of which were mine at one point). My niece likes to first build some sort of house out of the blocks and then make up stories with the dollhouse family. Some highlights from today's playtime:

  • Daddy had to go to work on Saturday.
  • Mommy went to the hospital to give birth to a new baby.
Something else interesting was there was no dialog, just narration. I don't think this is always the way her stories go. I seem to remember some dialog in past playtimes. But I do seem to recall she is heavy with the narration.

Anyway, I know this is real technical sounding but I'm tired and I just wanted to get some facts down. Maybe I'll add some fun details tommorow. Ciao.
