okay, I *am* a nerd.

I just spent $97 on a toy lightsaber, and damn is it awesome. Everyone here at the office is playing with it.

update: pictures and a video (DivX). Yes, I have asthma, and the reason I sound like Darth Vader in the video is because I was chasing the cats around the house with the new toy.

    hi, i’ve just stumbled upon your blog and i was wondering about this purchase that you’ve made…

    i’ve been looking into getting a really nice light saber for my boyfriend for our one year aniversary and I wanted to get a really nice one that lit up in sequence. Does the one you bought do that? If so, could you please contact me (playskiprepeat@hotmail.com) in where to get one? Or give me any direction at all? I would extremely appreicate it and I hope that this doesn’t seem creepy or anything! uhhm yess. Thanks!

    So, based on your previous post… how did you get it “past” the wife?

    Charles - I begged, pleaded, and sold $98 worth of some other stuff. :)

    OMG The light saber is just practicly COOL AND AWSOME MAN!!!
    But i think that 97$ is a little to much for a toy like that.
    After all it can be broken quit easily.. oh well some people have their
    prioities (if that is the way to spell it.)
    GOOD LUCK WITH THE LIGHT SABER AND BE CAREFUL!!
