New Comic Book Day – I Cracked My Vlogging Phone!

Sweet Kids at Dinner
Photo-A-Day #4287

Last night when I came home from filming SteamDads and Built from Bricks I was putting something into the Recycling and had too many things in my hand, the phone slipped out and smashed to the ground. Now it has a shattered glass but it still can be used. Brian and I chatted later on and he suggested that I put masking tape on it. Good idea. At least I can still film on it. I just didn’t use it today to illustrate that it was broken.

I had an eye appointment today so I had to get drops and that mean feeling messed up all day long. But no time to sleep. I was running all around. Making sure that my Big Damn Kid video for today was ready to publish and last night’s videos had rendered. Then I recorded tomorrow’s video at my local comic book store, Wild Time Comics. I completely forgot to mention where I was while filming. DOH!

I found a notice from Marvel Collector Corps that the Smuggler’s Bounty box was a Christmas gift for loyal customers. That was in my spam folder so, whoops, I guess my post from yesterday had me all kerfuffled.

I got a few new comics at Wild Time Comics and it will be a while until I actually get to read them. For now I’m doing the individual reviews one day at a time. Some days one ahead just because of my work schedule.

I took the kids out for dinner tonight. We walk into the restaurant and Andrew says to the hostess, “I like your hair!” She was so tickled. Then the server that sat us also got a compliment from Andrew. I have no idea where this came from. He’s such a little sweetheart and charmer. He loves to make people smile.

Unboxing Marvel Collector Corps X-Men Box

X-Men Wolverine Motorcycle
Photo-A-Day #4272

My latest Marvel Collector Corps Box arrived today. The theme of this one was X-Men. I am really happy with the contents of the box. Inside was a Storm Patch, Magneto’s Helmet for a Pin and a Tshirt of Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters. On top of that was a comic book, Champions #1, a Rock Candy figure of Mystique and a Pop Rides which was Wolverine’s Motorcycle. That was the coolest thing in the box. I love Wolverine and him on a motorcycle with his claws out on one hand is epic. The Mystique figure is also good but Wolverine is the best.

A quiet day with Andrew today, I actually got to play some video games. I played LEGO Dimensions for a while in the Simpsons level and it was a lot of fun. I found all sorts of hidden areas in the level, too.

Speaking of LEGO, I went to film SteamDads with my friend Brian tonight. We filmed the episode that will post on Wednesday. This is going to be a fun one. After that we filmed an episode of Brian’s Built from Bricks show. Last week he guested on my show and this week I guested on his. We did a holiday themed episode with a fun set of LEGO pieces that he modified to be quite festive.
