More Lego madness. Now that Star Wars is done with, Lego want a new genre license to play in. And what could be more awesome than BATMAN LEGO. Tom Johnson, the creator of the Lego knitting machine, has built a Lego Orrery to explain to his children how the seasons work. What's an orrery? Why, it's a device with which to impress gelflings, of course.

Today is moving day. We can finally get out of this damn rathole. It's dark. It's small. The upstairs neighbors leave their laundry in the washer for days. They stomp around early in the morning and late in the evening. The garbagemen never pick up our trash. The fruit flies keep spawning from something despite my efforts to both keep clean and systematically eradicate them. The lawn we have to walk up is all muddy. There's no closet space. There's no counter space. The cupboards are going askew. The lint trap in the dryer just broke. All the doors are noisy when they open or close at night. We have to deal with that damn old back gate all the time and there's no place to put our coats or shoes by the door.

Out today. Up and out.
