Although my Paypal account occasionally groans under the strain, BrickLink is where you can find just about any LEGO brick you might need, and probably hundreds you don’t, but would be neat to have.

I mean, just check out this small selection of minifig heads:

If you’re into LEGO building, get thee to BrickLink!

Check out The Craziest Costume Changes in Comics over at Comics Alliance to see what I mean.

She’s taking a class right now about literacy, and she shared some recent reading with me from an article entitled Expanding Vocabulary Instruction to Foster the Development of Word Consciousness by Susan Watts and Michael F. Graves:

Comics strips provide another option. Comics strips supply inviting reading material in which word meaning are essential to the humor. Puns, idiomatic expressions, and words with multiple meaning often provide the core of humor.

So basically word-play in cartoons an comics helps to promote robust vocabularies in children. Woo! Go comics!

Don’t count on anything near that as the holidays near, but for what it’s worth… WOO!!!
