I know.
The problem is, I DO have the cash now - I worked really hard last summer for
a great opportunity - I made this program for my dad's research, his
colleagues paid me more than $1000. But... big BUT... my parents, as much as
they try to be understanding, don't approve wasting all that money...
otherwise, I'd be swimming in lego now. The best thing about the US is the
availability of lego, and I know once I get back to Israel I won't be able to
buy all this stuff. I also feel really weird about auctions and deals over the
internet - can't help feeling a bit paranoid about getting cheated.
I mainly keep focus on Castle and Town first, then train, adventurers and
belville. (1) But my "focus" consists mainly of thinking about the sets I
want - I don't have most of my building stuff with me now, left it in Israel
(2), so I'm just planning my future now...
Happy New year everyone!
2 hours, eleven minutes to t-time here!

(1) Belville is great for parts, but I only have one set now, I'm waiting to
open it on Jan. 5th - my sister is getting it for HER birthday, from me...
guess who's gonna have the most fun...
(2) Stupid! Stupid! <bangs head in wall> I left most of my lego in our house
in Israel, and I barely have any bricks, and absolutly NO PLATES! Arrgh!!!
