It's a picture perfect evening and i'm staring down the sun,
fully loaded deaf and dumb and done

The schooling I had planned on giving the other night fell short. I must have forgotten my texts at home because not only did my strategy suck but I got sick and had to leave the game early.
There is some good that came of this. In feeling sick I decided that I needed to treat myself with some of the Christmas money I received.
Yeah, in confirming what a geek I am, I bought this.
Unsure of who he is? Read more about him here.
I find it funny that a company that makes a cartoon in order to sell action figures based on characters from said cartoon would create a character that ends up taking them almost 20 years to convert to toy form. It's also funny that in the last 20 years I have lost the inherent ability to understand such complicated toys. Even with the directions sitting right in front of me, I spent an hour transforming him from robot to planet mode. Upon completing this, I made him fly around for a while, opening and closing his jaws, then, using my coffee table as a planet's surface, began doing the transforming sound. Ten minutes later the transforming sound didn't sound quite as enthusiastic, but five minutes after that it pepped back up because I was finally getting him back to robot mode. Then he landed and knocked some shit around and I tried to imitate Orson Welles.
For a review of the toy(one that is actually funny): X-Entertainment.
