I did something I don't usually do...I went window shopping in a Lego store because I was intrigued and wanted to drool over look at what was around.
My niece is quite keen on Lego but I purposefully didn't take her with me because one of us would leave the store in tears, no doubt. I simply can't afford to buy her the things I'd like to and Lego is no exception, but there's nothing wrong with having a drool over builds right?
It was actually a lot of fun and they didn't have a table of communal lego building like they used to as that went out the door when Covid hit here but it was good to see that the shop was still up and running.
I must admit I got a little sidetracked into what I would like to buy for myself and not so much my little niece but it's the original thought that counts right? No, okay I admit it. It was me being entirely selfish in this particular escapade because ... It's LEGO!!!
The Grand Piano would be so cool and seeing that I never learned to play the bloody thing properly, I suppose I could at least test my engineering skills and see if I could make one. It looks intricate with lots of tiny pieces and that's the kind of Lego I'd be after. The really tricky shit that makes you feel like a fooking evil genius and you throw your hands up in the air with "Muwahahahaha" laughter and lightning and thunder abound behind you. Yes, I know, it doesn't really happen But in my mind it does!
I just absolutely adore how sexy this sleek black piano looks. 'Tis fooking marvelous.
Seeing as I've sold my soul to SATAN the copywriting Gods and I'm now working full time as a social media slave, I couldn't think of anything better to spend a few days months building than an old school typewriter. That's the kind of model that I learned to type on in school. I'm still using my touch typing skills of old to write today, so they definitely worked their magic. Thank fuck I don't have to change ribbons and such nonsense now though, that was a right nightmare to do and I always ended up with black fingers. Funny how far we've come with technology. When I was in grade 5 our school was considered fancy because we had a computer room with real computers. The formatting was as much of a bitch as using Wordperfect 3.1 could be and I had to publish a 12 page book on that thing. Talk about challenging. The kids of today have no idea what we went through!
So wouldn't mind having one of these beauties grace a shelf in my house one day. I even like the army green colour it comes in. I wonder if they made provision for the "ching" sound that you get when you finish a line???? That would be epic.
And of course it's simply not complete without little Lego men and women because - They make EVERYTHING AWESOME.
Felt great when I left rubbing my hands together thinking about one day having all these little things to make and could just imagine my niece's face when we get to build some of them, oh the joy. I can't wait.
