Thinkgeek Swag!

The ThinkGeek stuff we ordered arrived today! Daniel scored a Geek Blanket, a Radio Controlled Shooting Battle Tank, a CHIMP along with a few t-shirts: “Insufficient Memory”, “I don’t work here.”, and “Game Over”, and is still waiting for delivery of his “Cypherpunk” t-shirt.

I scored much less swag. I got t-shirts: “Joystick Junkie”, “Esc”, and “You are Dumb 2.0”. So good! 😀

The end has passed…

After listening to The End is Near and then The End is Here I was left with a sense of sadness yet contentness — it’s not every day your favorite band breaks up. The End is Here was so awesome — it captured the band’s sadness and excitement to them breaking up, and the last song Every New Day finished and the fans chanted “Thank You Thank You” and it was very moving — I so wish I was there, but listening to the CD made me feel like I was actually there! *sobs* *smiles*

The end is here, oh wait…

So I’m like hacking away, and Mark (aka Kodiak), one of the webfrooters and fellow geek.flatters comes home and asks me “Do you have that live album by Five Iron Frenzy?” and I say “I got their first one, but not the one from their final show” and he like pulls a paper bag from nowhere and I say “…But you do…… I’m jealous…” and he talks about how he saw it at Manna (christian bookstore) and was surprised to see it there, and didn’t think that I had it, and so bought it with the intention of selling it to me if he didn’t like it, or selling it to me if I wanted it. So I’m gonna buy it off him 🙂 The End Is Near is FIF’s last studio album, and The End is Here is the live recording of their final show. This completes my collection of CDs by my most favorite band of all time. Thanks Mark, you r0x0r!
