I'm starting this year off on the right foot...with Legos. For Christmas, friends bought me a cool Lord of the Rings set that I put together today. I love the Eye of Sauron bit: I also picked up some minifigs today from the new series that just came out: All of the minifigs in this series are from the new Lego movie. If you haven't heard of it, here's the trailer for your edification: Full honesty: I don't know if I'm too excited for it. But, I highly doubt that I am their target demographic. While we're talking about Legos, I got this awesome book for Christmas from those same friends: It's got all kinds of awesome pictures of Lego creations. So far, this is probably my favorite: It's a dilapidated Victorian home that has been damaged by a big tree. It looks very real and is all done in black, white and grey bricks. I wish I could do that. For a better version of the photo and to see more of this guy's work, go to the webs
