Speaking of toys... starcat_jewel February 25 2012, 19:26:47 UTC

Have you seen this yet? It's about an astronaut who built a replica of the ISS out of Legos... while on the ISS. Little floating bits were a concern -- he had to work inside a "glovebox", a sealed enclosed space with glove inserts on the sides, normally used for doing experiments involving hazardous materials.

Posted about it on Twitter and Facebook yesterday :-)

I had wondered about the little pieces, though. The article I saw didn't mention that. As bad as stepping on a LEGO here on Earth can be, I wouldn't want to imagine those pieces floating into various space station components...

I love fairy tale retellings. I'll definitely have to check this out.

Thank you for reviewing The Princess Curse. I normally don't read YA, but your recommendation and link to the sample chapters got me to get the book. I loved it! It was a cute fun read and I hope enough people buy and enjoy it for a sequel to be published.

Glad you enjoyed it!

I haven't heard anything about a sequel yet. I should ask Mer about that the next time I see her.

I am in my early 40's, and while my original Luke Skywalker figure was played with quite vigorously, it still has the tip to its lightsaber.

You are all right to be jealous, fellow nerds.

Jealous indeed!

I thought this was so cute! One of my favorite MG novels last year. For The Twelve Dancing Princesses, my favorite version has to be ENTWINED by Heather Dixon :)
