Toys

Mon Jan 25, 2010, 3:10 PM
These toys look like they're high. No, SERIOUSLY. [link]

That's thanks to Hasbro. American toys suck. For the most part. Who the hell designed those things? Come ON, they aren't even cute, they're HIDEOUS and they look like they've been in an opium den. THEIR PUPILS ARE WAY TOO DIALATED.

EUROPEAN toys are works of ART!!! Nu seriously.

Geobra-Playmobil (German btw), just look at it...look how detailed it is...and there are no distracting production flaws...and the material is high-quality.... The DESIGN is just amazing...they find clever ways to hide joints that would otherwise be kinda stupid-lookin...not that kids would care but...I mean they put a lotta effort into designing these things.... A few figures they sell have fully-functional shoulder joints which is a difficult joint to build, even nature can't build strong shoulder joints...it's the weakest kind of joint.

Schleich (also German) is really realistic-looking...really detailed...all the male animals even have lil penises....

Lego is...well, Lego. It's awesome. And Danish. Did you know they spent years developing the plastic they use? And their motto is "only the best is good enough". lol that's just awesome that people get that serious about kids' toys.

Really? That's kinda weird cuz I thought the bugs had shifted down quite a bit since I've been adding other stuff lol. I see Chicago pictures and a couple drawings at the top. Hm, maybe I need to fix some setting somewhere.... I'll check that out later after my ears stop hurting lol...got some weird sinus infection I think....

sorry I've been a bit quiet lately, I suddenly became pretty sick...sinus infection or something.... I hope you're doing better than I am....

Other than that I'm ok, just trying to get past my feelings of uninspiredness (is that a word).... Hope you're making progress with yours lol....

I have been doing pretty well with staying well, now that I have made so much progress with my life and schedule fitting me. I also have an army of stuff I take the minute I have ANY symptom of sickness, which wards it off... and now that I have less stress in my life, enough sleep, a schedule that fits me, and the capacity to change my daily schedule whenever I see fit... I seem not to get sick at all.

Sorry you are feeling unispired, Lauren... I am doing pretty well with my "stuff"... midlife crisis not completely over yet, and still not as motivated as I once was... but I think I am adjusting to being 47, older, and in a new, less "room zoom" phase of my life.

Oh lol that's good, I also have things that I take whenever I feel sick, but I have less choices when the weather gets cold. In the summer, if I feel sick I can pick a bunch of fresh peppermint and make tea with it, and that usually takes care of it. Obviously in the winter the peppermint dies so...I have this really expensive honey from New Zealand "Manuka honey" that I can have instead, it works really well...but yeah it's expensive, I think it's like $28 for 6oz....

I think it's odd that I'm getting sick a lot lately, because I haven't been going out in public a whole lot, I don't have school.... I kinda wonder if somehow my body is remembering the huge amount of anxiety I had last year at this time, and is maybe putting itself into a "weak-immune-system" mode automatically or something.... It's just weird that I'm getting sick at all, I even take vitamins....

Oh well...the honey usually takes care of it anyways...it's just really annoying and I hope I don't get acute bronchitis again like I did last year...cuz I remember the honey didn't even work for that, I had to go on inhalers....

lol ramble.... I'm glad you're adjusting and getting through things though...it isn't ever easy to deal with the phases we go through is it...lol....
