Some #vinyl #gaming #tchotchkes arrived from #Japan. #lilith in her bunny outfit , I’m a little bummed that my #qbee came with broken wings so I’ll have to repair them, #ibuki in her school uniform is awesome & it’s always cool to have a #vicviper to round things out.

Got me a couple of sweet #tchotchkes from Mike over at the awesome @tencenttakes #podcast!

Got me a sweet keychain and 2 sticks, one of which was added immediately to my laptop!

Why we need more #affordable #housing...

More affordable housing means more #homeowners.

More homeowners means more appliances, etc., to boost the #economy.

More homeowners means better #GarageSales, because everybody gives you Grandma's #tchotchkes when you have a new home, and if they're not your style, you keep them a year and then do a garage sale with good signage so I can find it and buy yo' Grandma's tchotchkes.

And that's why we need more affordable housing .

I have a theory that air conditioning played a critical role in the evolution of the paperweight.

When the only way to cool a room was to open windows, paperweights kept paper in place in the event of a rogue breeze. They were a vital tool in office productivity.

As air-conditioning gained, paperweights lost their function and became the decorative tchotchkes we see today.
