Toys
After dinner last night, we walked past a row of toy vending machines -- you know, the ones where you put a dollar in and twist the knob and out falls a cheap plastic toy? Perhaps it was the lack of sleep -- I don't know -- but I played along with XL and we went to get a toy each. :)
So even though I've often dissed the mindless nodding of the Hidamari no Tami toys, I now have one hanging from the rear view mirror of my car. (But mine doesn't nod so it isn't annoying!)
Speaking of things I diss (and also cheap toys), McDonald's latest toy giveaway (which is not really a giveaway at $2 each) are book thongs! Last week's promotion was Hello Kitty (shut up) (a different character every week), so I bought them for Z and XL (I was only allowed to buy two). (There are too many parentheses in this paragraph, I know; once you start you can't stop.)
You probably can't see it clearly here, but there's a string attached to the Kitty, and a little felt flower at the other end of the string. I can't imagine that anyone would actually use it, because the string is too short, and the toy is too bulky, but it's a book thong, and you can't expect me to walk right by it.

book thong??? where do they get such names from???
okay i'm going to look for the hello kitty. (shut up). =)
see, you're doing the linking thing again. :)
you get good grades in uni for that special talent?
Speaking of toys, you could go get that little doggie toy that dances to the songs once you connect it to the Ipod! I just saw a little clip of it grooving to the beats of the Ipod. Quite hilarious, really.
a.l.: Haha, it works on the same principle as any other thong, I guess. ;)
BoY: I wish! But I can't stop, otherwise the world will come to an end. :p
Raymond: Raymond! The whole point is that moving toys are annoying! :p
Haha... maybe not all right? That jap toy you chanced across looked... cheesy. Haha but the Ipod Doggy thing seemed pretty hip! You should see how it 'dances'.
I think I'll pass. Unless someone wants to get me an iPod first... ;)
