Day 39

Harry: Hey Larry, what the hell is that thing?

Larry: Not sure, Harry.

Harry: We should kill it, just to be safe.

Larry: Yup.

Harry: Larry, you go first. He looks like he can rip a man’s arm off.

Larry: . . . tell my wife and kids that I love them.

What the shit?!

Day 38

“What?! No cookies?!”

Sucks when you get caught with your metaphorical hand in the metaphorical cookie jar, only to realize you’ve been swindled.

Day 37

“Another boss fight?! He’s like three times my size. I’m going to need more health potions.”

Day 36

It’s always sort of awkward when you run into your unknown “twin” on the street or in everyday activities. Even more so if you’re a LEGO person.

Day 34

Evelyn: Oh my God, I hate it when these things do that.
Rick: Is he supposed to look like that?
Evelyn: No, I’ve never seen a mummy look like this before. He’s still… still…
Rick, Jonathan: …juicy.

From Mt. Bonnel:

The View

A Little Slice of Austin

Went for a “hike” today at Mt. Bonnel with my sister. It was really more of a quick walk. Very cool view, however. We even met a couple that is going to be married there next Wednesday. They stopped and looked at me funny while I was taking my LEGO shot for the day :) . Anyhow, here’s some various “artistic” shots from one of the highest points in Austin:

Day 32

“Ninja versus pirates (note: plural), because ninjas are just that cool.”

This was originally a 3 vs. 3, but the wind kept knocking the ninjas over, so I took it as a sign from the universe that there was only supposed to be one ninja. I seriously doubt 3 pirates could fend off a single ninja anyway. . .

Pirates Versus Ninja

Day 31

Yep,  a truel (a word I made up to describe a three-way duel). Indians versus bandits versus cowboys, need I say more? I’ll have to experiment with their placement more in the future to see if I can’t capture all their faces.
