toys for the big dorks

Since we cannot decide which of the two RC toys to get, we did what all sensible 25-year-olds with extra cash would – buy both.

Here is our new RC monster truck:



And here is the RC airplane MSP put together himself (that’s him holding it):



These are all starter kits -- toys to practice with until we're ready to handle the 'real' deal.

I can't believe how dorky I've become since the new company. MSP has always been a geek, so this is the life he has always known. But I used to be, well, more hip. Now I wear lime green jogging pants when working. Cristobal Balenciaga will rise from his mongram-lined grave and haunt me.

Even my TV habits have changed. Can you believe I even watch Murder She Wrote now? It's the only show I catch when I'm not working. (I work at night so there goes Frasier and Comedy Central). And I actually bought a DVD of The 40-year-old Virgin. I -- Mussolini -- the greatest movie snob ever to walk in Prada loafers. I now watch *gasp* Hollywood. Patetico.

Anyway, now we have to finish up work so we can spend the afternoon playing. I really think we deserve this too much.
