Week eight (very few photos but some exciting news!)

So since I spent the last week in NY and I found out Darth was on a no fly list I have very little to do here. I did however see Harry Potter from a fourth row seat. Yes I lived through every nerds dreams. Darth as mentioned before was all tied up.

But that doesn't stop us from having the greatest news of all time! Thats right people after just eight weeks I'm number one on Google if you search "Darth College" and here my mom thought I wouldn't do anything with my life. In fact she even sent me this text "you have a toy dependency. Better than chemicals or booze I guess" Thanks for the continuing support mom.

My Amazing girlfriend and I went to a Build-A-Bear.

We gave him a bath.

And we created what I know to be true the best bear of all time!

Meet Puppy Wan Kanobi. He is sure to be featured in this "number one on google" blog for a while.

I also met a celebrity in NY.

And since we didn't have much time to actually take pictures of toys I will leave you in the hands of my Girlfriends photography!


She is really talented as you can all tell.

And I will leave you with two new toys that will be featured in coming weeks.

My editor and chief will be around starting next week so look forward to that as well.

till next time!

Weeks seven. Darth goes home for break.

So first I would like to point out that if you google Darth and College this blog comes up as the third entry! (and after I wrote that I checked again and it was fourth but still I'm on google so I can die happy!) This week was the start of break so its a different setting and different people (mostly) and a different camera, but lucky for all of you the same old writer! (and soon I will have an editor so I will be cutting out some grammatical error stuff)

Darth gets packing for his big trip home.

He gets into his car and for safety made sure to buckle up.


(even bad guys (and toys) need to be safe!)

once home...........

...he finally met the hulk.

Since Darth had no homework or school to worry about he finally enjoyed a shabbat for the first time in a long time. He lit the candles.

(and yes it took him two minutes to light them. I mean he is plastic!)
Ate some Challah.
(he only had a couple of days before Passover so he needed to eat all the chamatz) And I know what some of you are thinking and no he doesn't look Drewish. (and yes I know thats not Jewish but I was making a reference to Spaceballs)

He bumped into old friends at home...

And played some Angry Birds with Hulk.

He even thought about getting a kitten (or two) to take back to school with him.



Puck and Sophie btw are the first actually living things in this blog and yet were somehow harder to get to actually cooperate. Lets see if I ever work with a animal again!

Darth tried to see what it would be like to be a pirate.

But sadly after getting the Parrot home he realized that the parrot was in fact a dead parrot


And after all that he finally got some rest and relaxation.

And as a special treat for you here is an outtake from this weekend.

Sophie might not have been ready for her closeup. 

I may or may not update next week since I will be in NY. Stay tuned!

Sixth weekend

I would like to take a little time this week and first thank my wonderful girlfriend who every week lets me steal her iPhone and take these pictures. Also I would like to say to my now 5 followers if there are other nerds people you know out there who would enjoy this blog please past it along. Now to what Darth is up to.

Darth enjoys his wine

This week he invited Iron Man to join him and with a little help from some glasses they made it to the wine.



Darth soon realized something was missing.

And well he thought this was just more wine for him (which I think we can all agree is better anyways (again in college)) We looked for Iron Man

Some people can just not hold their liqueur. We will just let him sleep it off for the week. (also known as I had no other ideas with him this week)

Buzz decided this week that he needed to work out more now that he is out of work. (this joke only works as long as Pixar does not do Toy Story 4)

Yay for gum stairs! And it did make it to the top.


Duh duh duh, duh duh duh (think the rocky theme song) Woody also decided to work out.

But it didn't work out as well.

But to be fair he is older and he might have pulled a muscle or something.

At least bigger Woody was having a better time with Jessi.

I have no story for the next picture but it took forever to set up (someone and I'm not saying who *cough* random halo guy *cough* maybe drank a little too much wine and couldn't stand up straight) but I love it. Think Abbey Road.


Not perfect but still pretty damn cool.

Now for a quick update on Hulk who is still in New Mexico waiting to be picked up. But he did pack his car.

And said goodbye to friends.

I take it from his necklace that he and the random zombie (I'm guessing a night person) that they had fun. (I would like to take a second and thank my mother for when I came up with the idea she not only took the pictures but came up with them on her own)

Till next week

Fifth weekend and a start of a baseball season (even if the team seems to have forgotten)

Alas another week has come and gone. Its amazing how fast the weekend goes by even with three day weekends every week. This weekend marked one of the most important times of the year.

Thats right people, ITS BASEBALL SEASON. And lucky for us Darth is not completely bad because he (unlike popular belief *cough*evil empire*cough*yankees*cough*) he is a Red Sox fan and its one of the few things he and Yoda agree on.

Other than that Darth also got a cell phone this week.


Who might he be calling?

Thats right Iron Man.....


And I know what some of you might be saying. Yes that is a Ipod touch but for the sake of the picture its a Iphone. For those who can't suspend reality for the picture I will point out you are reading a blog about toys going to college.

Iron Man also found his cologne this week.

And this weekend ended with dinner for both Darth and Iron Man.


Oh and as a quick foreshadowing/preview from whenever I get it (my mom for some reason has also started buying us toys so I guess she must enjoy this blog and use of my time a little bit)

Thanks Mom! Till next week.
