This evening, I was at a Barnes & Noble. When I went to the cashier, he asked me if I had any special coupons. I told him I have my Borders Rewards card. He responded, with a straight face, "This isn't Borders."

I asked my mom about it, and she said that they were rare when she was a kid, so it's unusual that I would find one. I'm not sure where it came from, but it's interesting to see that these are still in circulation.
I bet it's not worth much more than
Thanks to everyone for the encouranging remarks about my last MOC. Incence'n'Peppermints recently left a nice comment in my profile and got me thinking about doing another one. So here is the new MICRO one along with the original for comparison. It was pretty difficult to capture all the details while transferring the original design to micro-scale. But eventually I figured it out.
Click for the topic.
As per Omi's suggestion, I am posting this here. It will be interesting to see who replies to this. Personally, I'm expecting more blog people to read/comment on it, but we'll see.

I have been thinking about this idea for some time. Please carefully read and consider this post.
Instead of locking them, the staff should leave some of the topics that would normally be closed in favor of a poll open to encourage discussion.
Before you get ahead of me, I am NOT suggesting tha
I just brought in the family mail, which included:
16 Christmas cards
3 brochures and ads
1 designer catalog
1 package from an eBay seller - my dad's present!
I didn't think it would arrive in time for Christmas, but it did!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I ended up seeing Gran Torino with my dad and cousins and I'm seeing Slumdog Millionaire next weekend. Kind of weird, how I don't go to the movies for over 6 months, then I go to the theaters 3 times within a 2-week span.
