I added to my collection as well as cashed in a few loyalty cards for a Paperclip holder and a CD case; a new program started this month. I addition, I added a Hello Kitty and Kuromi one to my work cubicle collection. Thanks to this guy I am using my Hello Kitty back pack every day even at work. Now one can ask how I get away with having Sanrio items without major ridicule; my answer, I work in tech, engineers and we technicians are weird enough as it is. We do not put up Christmas lights, that would be too normal, no we hook them up to a few Phidget Relays and develop an application to synchronize them to music.

While at the store I notice a Kuromi and Chococat as big as my big kitty; this is going to be an after Christmas dilemma.
