2023 comes to a close, and already we had to say goodbye to some people since the last time I posted here.
Marty Krofft
Tom Smothers
Shane MacGowan
Norman Lear
And just today, Shecky Greene.
But the saddest of all, among many others, we lost Andre Braugher.
Captain Holt died! It's not fair, man. The above quote sums it up perfectly. Brooklyn Nine-Nine was such a great show, but Andre Braugher really was the glue that held it together. He was one of the best to ever do it.
On top of that, I got this for an early Christmas gift:
Covid! It felt like a cold, and thankfully got over it within a week. And it got me out of work the week before Christmas. And it was the week the Pokemon Scarlet/Violet DLC dropped. Oh noooo, I have so much time to play it, whatever will I do?
But with that, let's get to Christmas!
I saw Santa!!
And here's my tree:
So cozy, right? And let's see what I got this year!
I actually got Simpsons stuff this year!
And Bobs Burgers and Super Mario Wonder!
My favorite bbq sauce!
And my advent calendar full of scratchers. I won $33 and two free Take 5 tickets.
And here's some things I bought for myself because you do that when you're in your thirties with no other immediate family besides your parents.
I never realized that the Not Pizza Planet Truck transformer hailed from Stranger Things, and I managed to snag it when Target had a 30% off sale before their toy section was blown out. Same with the Zelda amiibo, I managed to find the last one Target had, since it was the only TOTK one I missed out on.
And I can't wait to finally play the Super Mario RPG remake since the Pokemon DLC took up most of my free time.
And I picked up the Peanuts and Rankin-Bass collections at Wal-Mart since they had them there. No more pirating for me! At least for these.
Well, it's not the one that looks like Svengoolie, but I'll take it. Apparently this chill one was a sought after one?
And lastly, here was my favorite pickup from Wintercon at the beginning of the month. A Carvel comic! "Where are Fudgie and Cookie Puss?!" You ask. Well, the comic hails from 1973, so it predates those two by quite a few years, or else they would've had starring roles on the cover instead of the Flying Saucers.
Well, that does it for 2023. See you all in 2024!
