What a year I'm having!

It started with the databank entry for the little rolo-droid being accepted, then by winning a JMW raffle, then all the joy of C IV and now, would'ya believe it? I won another raffle

What can I say about JMW that hasn't already been said? (Other than the fact that she's on the ten most wanted list in Tonga for some reason).

It was a pleasure to meet Melinda and Caitlin at C IV, what a great mom and daughter pair they are - and then to come home to find a shiny red box - hoo hoo!

Upon tearing into it with wild abandon, I discovered Clone Wars stickers, a lovely card, a Vader themed goodie bag, a Vader keychain and all three of the 'Infinities' graphic novels!! The force is strong with Melinda Wolf, for after Tag and Bink (and yes I will be bidding), the Infinities series is my favorite of all the Star Wars comics!! My other set is languishing in a plastic wrap and box in a basement in Ottawa - so now I can enjoy them without the fear of getting my grubby prints all over them - huzzah for the good guys!

As for lil' lego Darth... I had one of these when they first appeared in the shops and attached it to my classroom keys when I was a teacher in Toronto. One day I looked down at my keys, and he was gone! And then the snows came...
After four months of constant snow and freezing rain, the sun finally began to thaw out poor old Ontario, and one afternoon I was walking to my car when I spotted something laying in the gutter. It was small, black-ish, and oddly Vader shaped...

I picked it up, and whooped with joy when I realized I had found my long lost key chain buddy! But that's not all - as you can see in the photo, not only did lil' vader suffer some dents and fraying, but he also lost his right hand! Spooky eh?
Look at JMW's replacement, all shiny and new next to my old one. I love 'em both

Thanks JMW!!

Hey - check out our C IV loot - I'll post proper pics and details later on - LOL.

Cheerio!
