Disorientated, but still in action (66/90)

Heh, I'm surprised how busy I am even when I haven't had any homework this past day or so. I've gotten so far behind in my personal list of things to get done that I have started to stress out over it. Immediately after I came home from work, I fired up Google Reader and looked through about 1000 pages before getting bored. After that, I listened to music through my headphones (Apparently, music bothers Shaun when he's watching Cartoon Network XD) while building the Lego Star Wars set I bought yesterday. Then I proceeded to watching the Nostalgia critic as I have not had a chance these past couple of weeks... 

Oh yeah, I've recently subscribed to The Brick Show which is a blog where a guy reviews new and upcoming Lego sets. His way of reviewing sets begins with him comparing the price of the Lego set with the number of pieces the set comes with. AFOL (Adult Fans of Lego) usually look at the piece to price ratio to justify if they are putting their money into each Lego set wisely. Also, AFOLs look for unique pieces when buying their Lego. I know, it's weird thinking about that, but apparently there is a whole community of people over the age of ...let's say 20... that like to buy sets just so that they can get more pieces for their grand projects. So yeah, back to talking about The Brick Show. The guy goes into detail about the intended use of the Lego set and talks about each minifigure. The reviews end with three overall ratings of the set according to three different age groups: young kids, older kids, and adults. 

On a side note, I think I've been a little less responsive these past two days. I think this is due to the past weeks where I got 4-5 hours of sleep daily (maybe it was 3-4). I seemed to keep a good streak going, but now, my body and mind have worn out. But I'll recover. I have this weekend plus Monday.  O-o Wait, I take that back. I have Sunday and Monday to rest. Fridays and Saturdays are always hectic.
