A few days ago we got new LEGO minifigures at work. This is series 7 (as time flies. It’s not long since series 6 came). The box has the color of bright red so it’s pretty easy to spot it. There are so many cool characters, and I’m very happy with the set.

I’m not that good at touching and feeling the packets to find the minifigures I want, but with the help of good colleagues, I have become much better. Thank you AM for your help.

My favorites (in no particular order) are:
Viking Woman – “Now that the fight is over, it is time to sing!”
Bagpiper- “And here’s a little ditty my ol’ granddad taught me!”
Bunny Suit Guy- “What kind of noise does a bunny make, anyway?”
Computer Programmer- “Hello, World.”
Hippie- “Make LEGO® models, not war!”

On Marvel’s website you can actually create your own comic. It’s great fun and incredibly easy. You can choose to create a comic strip or a comic book.  My comic  is called “The Date Night”. Thor has an important date with me, but danger lurks. Will he get there in time or will super villains ruined our romantic evening? This is a thrilling cartoon about everlasting love and men and men in tight tights

* Giggle * this is so fun and so incredibly silly. I love it!

Maurice Sendak died yesterday. He both wrote and drew children’s literature. He was best known for his book “Where the Wild Things Are”,  first published in 1963.

“Where the Wild Things Are” is one of my favorite books. It tells the story of Max. Wearing a wolf costume he makes mischief and gets sent to bed without supper. He then escapes into the world of the Wild Things.

“Where the Wild Things Are”  has meant so much to me when I was growing up. The book created some controversy when it was first published and many parents were afraid of how the grotesque monsters would affect the children, but they were proven wrong. I think that children can really identify with Max and his thoughts. When I read this book now I always  remember that lost feeling of being a child.

I must stop before I start to cry. Thank you for everything Maurice Sendak.

He was unique, grumpy, brilliant, gay, wise, magical and made the world better by creating art in it. #RIPMauriceSendak — Author Neil Gaiman, via Twitter

I visited the family this weekend. There, I got the chance to go on a treasure hunt in the basement. I found an old camera (which unfortunately does not work). A little vase and 6 beautiful wine glasses. Mom and grandfather won these on an amusement park in the mid 60′s and they mean a lot to me. I’m so glad I got them.

I also found a big box with old photos from the 1800s. It is areal treasure and and the photographs are in very good condition. I’m going to digitize the images. So stay tuned.
