Christmas catalogs have found our house.

From this collection of un-looked-for attempts at our bank accounts, three things that make me all :D!!! that I seriously do not need (but amuse the heck out of me anyway):

This clock. A sample 'alarm': 'Good morning madam. I'm so sorry to disturb you, but it appears to be morning. Very inconvenient, I agree. I believe it is the rotation of the earth that is to blame.' *snork*

This chess set. It's circular! I might stand a chance at winning just 'cause no one knows how to play circular!

This. FETCHEZ LA VACHE!

In other news, I have yet to find the perfect icon of Urahara Kisuke. I know, I know, if I don't like what I find, I should make my own. Some day, in that mythical someday where I have time.

OMG. I am so freaking nervous about the NAVLE. This is. Like. Finals x ... infinity. I am so going to be sick as a dog the day after. Hopefully not the day before. Waugh. Plz send prozac.

Hmm ... That circular chess board looks like a labyrinth, but I can't imagine adapting that to chess. Then again, there are stranger things, Horatio, like the Monty Python toys ...

According to the sales pitch (if you want to believe a Christmas catalog sales pitch), it's an older design that died out in the Middle Ages and was 'rediscovered' recently. It just looks neat, really.

They also have a knight with 'flesh wounds'! *snork* Though, the winning toy would be the bunny.
