A package arrived this evening from my rematch, jroks, and GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY did it contain awesome!

An item-by-item analysis:

TETRIS ICE CUBE TRAY The first thing I pulled out. The reason I don't have a picture of it by itself is because I immediately filled it with water and stuck it in the freezer. In a few hours, I'll be playing with frozen blocks and probably irritating my roommate due to a wet dining room table. These will be a hit with my equally geeky friends!

SOLAR-POWERED GRASSHOPPER TOY Putting this little guy together was fun, and somehow I didn't misplace the googly eyes before I stuck them in their proper place. I haven't gotten the chance to stick it in sunlight yet, but I'm sure it will be fun. Besides, it's a grasshopper with googly eyes. Who doesn't love a grasshopper with googly eyes?

As a side-note, the entomologist in me saw the antennae and immediately exclaimed, "It's a Tettigoniid!" (Yes, I'm such a dork that I can identify a katydid on sight.) I've commented on my entomological leanings on reddit before, so either jtoks stalked me well or this is a happy coincidence.

FIENDISHLY DIFFICULT JAPANESE PUZZLES How did jroks know my love of puzzles? It must have been telepathy, since I know I haven't talked about that on the internet. These little babies are going to drive me mad, but I will solve them. One day.

Thank you, jroks!
