Last night Allison and I saw Garden State. Allison for the first time and me for the second time. The movie was even better the second time around. It has so many great themes in it. Love, Pain, Loss, the Unknown, Angst, Friendship, Sadness. It has tragedy, and the flawed characters and humor and all of it wrapped into a well paced and introspective film. If you want to see a movie that will make you laugh and the next minute move you to tears then go see Garden State.
The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...
