Jamie, as many of you know, is very into playing with Star Wars legos. He sets up elaborate battles in which, happily, good seems to triumph inevitably over evil. They are fairly fragile, however, as can be his psyche, so when they break it is a bit traumatic. Some of these are fairly elaborate constructions that are beyond Jamie's ability to put together at this stage. (Honestly, they're almost beyond our ability.) Over time we have built and rebuilt several ships only to see them disintegrate over time. There then ensues a period in which Jamie asks us to rebuild them and we stall. It's a little hard to gear up for this because it's a real undertaking and ultimately a futile one.
Jamie recently had a friend over who is also a big Star Wars legos fan (surprise!). The last time he was over he and Jamie had lamented the breakdown of the Republic Attack Shuttle, and as soon as he arrived he asked where it was. Jamie replied, a little wearily, "It's in my bed room. And I'm sorry to say it's in the same condition as before." They both sighed.
