It was stunning luck to be driving over to my parents’ house one day when I found myself behind this car with, possibly, the best license plate known to man.

Thing Thursday: Jurassic Cups

I saw Jurassic World in theaters in June, then I recently came across these cups from McDonalds when going through some of my boxes from my childhood and thought I should make them a post here.

Thing Thursday: Keychains

Two keychains I purchased during the Brickfair yardsale. I can’t wait to hang them up to display them in my LEGO loft!

Wildcard Wednesday: Darth Vader Cleans Up

This might be old news by the time it finally hits my blog (I schedule posts way ahead of time!), but apparently Darth Vader has adopted a stretch of highway to clean up near my old stomping grounds. Henry Wakley, a school bus driver, adopted the highway in Blacksburg in Darth Vader’s name. Not only does the sign give one a chuckle, but he actually goes out to clean the area wearing a Darth Vader mask. How much fun would that be to see as you’re driving by?

When I was at Virginia Tech, my adopted highway with the honors community service group wasn’t too far from this particular road. So it’s great to see the program still at work and that someone is putting fandom to good use!

Made it Monday: Tony Stark MOC

Here’s the Habitat MOC (my own creation) I made of Tony Stark in his lab.

You can’t see from this angle, but he has a keyboard angled right in front of him and a computer monitor turned toward him.
