birthday boy

Today is Danny’s birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY!!!!!

We went to On the Border for dinner tonight and we are still stuffed to the gills with pseudo-TexMex. Hey, at least they have queso. It was good but now we are painfully full and neither one of us wants to deal with work for the rest of the week.

Since Danny buys gadgets and new toys often, I had a hard time thinking of something cool to buy for him. I took him out to lunch and to a movie this weekend, but I wanted to give him something to unwrap on his birthday. I got him these:

The Labyrinth. No, not this one.

THIS one.

This. Is. Hard. I saw it and knew Danny had to have it, at least so I could play with it. Selfless: that’s me. One of my Jr. High teachers had one and I spent hours trying to get that damn BB around the track.

We played it for a while and determined that no human without super skillz could get the ball all the way to the end. Okay, so we gave up after five minutes, but it’s impossible!

I also got Danny a rubik’s cube. He is low on desk toys (he has none) and he needs to raise his level of “desk play” to that of his coworkers.

I also bought him a mini rubik’s cube because the regular one is impossible! Do you see a pattern here? We’ve both played with the mini-cube and have determined that it is just as cantakerous as its big brother. If it is doable, we feel even stupider-er.

Finally, here’s a game we can’t lose: Rubik’s snake. You make shapes. Bam, you’re done. However, many of the “shapes” are questionable. If you can guess what this is, I’ll give you a cookie.

    It’s a Rubik’s snake on a plane. Now where’s my cookie?
    “Dance magic, dance” (shudder). Bowie + muppets = not-repressed-enough 80’s memory.

    HAHA! My muppet pain is shared by many! I loved the muppets, but the Dark Crystal freaked me out.
    Dance magic dance!
