Taking It Too Seriously. Political, Pop Cultural, Personal. We dropped our cable TV. The savings will be negligible since we’re keeping our high speed internet.

I know there’s no such thing, just making a poor joke.

Taking It Too Seriously. Political, Pop Cultural, Personal. Photo from brothers-brick.com. The constructions jostled together in massive piles. Each cluster of tables held Lego models of a consistent theme, all spilling into each other. It was impossible to tell where one artist’s work stopped and the next began.
