cblj_backupTHAT WAS NERDTASTIC.
I just bought several comic books and a video game, and totally actually went into Robot City Workshop.
There's a really cool comic book store about a block north of the Belmont red line stop, and some strange impulse drove me there tonight, where I picked up a few sale books and scoped out the action figures. On my way back I did a literal double-take as I passed a new video game store almost directly under the train station, and it turned out to be fantastic. The guys are way nicer than the ones at the video game store north of Belmont, and the selection is better, if less accessible (all the games are in locked cases, but the prices and titles are visible which is all I really care about). So I bought Myst for the DS, because I liked the original Myst but only ever got to play it at a friend's house, and thus couldn't ever get very far.
I also ducked into the Robot City Workshop instead of just going past it this time, and that was cool. Though it's kind of small and robots, while awesome, are not cheap. I might sign up for a robot building class in the summer, though. That seems like it would be fun.
ALL THE NERD.
