I start a new gig on Monday, and I am gathering up all of the necessary tools and supplies.
Besides being able to fix nearly anything, this little beauty writes in ultraviolet ink, lights up, and makes a cool sonic screwdriver sound. The prop sonic screwdrivers used in the Doctor Who episodes aired since 2006 were actually based on the molds used for this replica, so the props are in fact replicas of a replica. I will keep it stashed in my bag until the coast is clear, but it will be good to have around in case of emergencies.
toner’s photostream has a very open-hearted feel and a nice flow with pictures of family, food, street art, the tools of day to day life and even some jokes. The toners look like they would be good neighbors.

We got some plastic animals for the girls to play with in the bathtub about 4 years ago. Most are easily recognizable - ring tailed lemur, tree sloth, armidillo - but this one baffles us. When asked by the girls what kind of animal this is, I answered, “a blueback.” I did not expect them to remember this name for 4 years… Recently Fallie asked me if bluebacks are real. I tried to direct her to something else and said maybe, but she suggested looking on the internet. Her google search was “are blue backs real.” Of course this brought up, “did you mean are blue balls real.” The girls were cracking up for days - they have seen blue balls, who wouldn’t believe in blue balls, why couldn’t a toy ball be blue? I told K this story on our way to a family dinner at his aunt and uncle’s house, where the girls’ great grandparents would be visiting, as well as many other family memebers. I had to bribe them to stop talking about blue balls before we entered the house. Hilarious, but totally inappropriate and (almost) mortifying at the same time.
