I was in a Barnes & Noble this evening – looking for gifts for my godson (which I’m going to see this weekend) – and I ran into some sets from the LEGO Architecture series. I got myself the Empire State Building, which you can admire below:

It has a pretty small brick count; I guess they wanted to make the buildings look simplified. It works though, the end result looks less like a kid’s toy and more like something you could keep on your work desk.

On Saturday evening I attended the New York premiere of Tales from the Golden Age, the latest Romanian movie to win a bunch of awards – and therefore to open here. It was a great comedy made up from 5-6 vignettes showcasing different urban legends from the last decade of the communist regime. Gotta love the moronic political activists, kiss-ass aides and overall sheer incompetence and absurdity. After all, only in Romania someone would think of killing a pig by gassing it in his apartment’s kitchen A must see.
