SAMURAI CRUSH

Shirt o' the week:  Timbercat from Le Grand Cru.  Because we like cats + unusual colors and it looks refreshingly angular.  @LeGrandCru confirmed on Twitter* that the color is peach.  We guessed pink.  Peach makes the shirt even tastier (not that we eat t-shirts, although it would solve some storage problems).

And right now we're crushing on a guy named Reiner Knizia because we can't keep our hands off his iPad games.  First up was Money (the closest we get to the stuff) a bidding and matching game against AI players.  We don't win a lot yet but we're working on it.  And last night, wonder of wonders, Tinker's little brother stopped by and we downloaded Knizia's Samurai and spent the night passing the iPad from hand to hand and trying to claim buddhas, peasants and warrior helmets.  Really fun, except for Mr. Yellow Computer Guy who kept sneaking victories.  We're about to go downstairs for another go.  The Money app is based on a physical card game, so whether you're iGaming or just having friends and family round the table, Knizia seems to have a game to challenge you.

 

*follow us on Twitter; it's where we have all the best conversations.

NEW CRUSH + SHIRT O' THE WEEK

The Crush:  Nadia G of Bitchin Kitchen.  Yes, she rocks the kitchen, our world and makes burgers that look like this (graphic lifted from her site):

 

And so you don't miss us too much, we're going to do a shirt o' the week.  Remember, none of you are kicking into the pizza fund regularly so you won't be seeing fancy, expensive shirts, but we think the sites we frequent give value for money.  And make great shirts.

The Shirt:  So this week, it's cmdixon2 at Goodjoe with The Last Straw.  We'd like to wear it when we hit the movies over the weekend, but we'll have to wait for a couple of weeks to do that.  We're still hitting the movies though.  Which movies?  Tammy's opting for Black Swan and popcorn, Ty and Tinker are excited about The Fighter and munching on Reese's Pieces and TK, well, honestly, TK's seen Tron: Legacy too too many times (although we did hear a rumor he'd been spotted tearing up at a Tangled screening or two -- and not just during the dying parts.)  TK's snack of choice:  whatever's leftover in his jacket pocket from the last time.  We don't ask to share.

The Last Straw:  

 

And have you seen Joan Jett in The Eyeliners' "Destroy" video?  It's one of our 2010 favorite moments. 

Happy New Year.  Stay safe.  We wish you good times + good friends.
