A few years ago a bought a Todd McFarlane action figure for $2.99 on eBay. I’d tried a couple of times and lost out, but finally managed to win one. The figure? Alice Cooper. A 6-inch tall Alice, complete with boa constrictor, cane, saber, top hat, severed head and a guillotine with sliding blade. Cool.

Now, after enjoying it on my shelf at work for a few years (my wife wouldn’t let me keep it at home for fear of frightening the kids), I’ve decided to let it go. I put it up on eBay a few hours ago. It already has a bid, so it’s on it’s way out. Rock on, Alice.

Two of the Final Four are set, with Ohio State and UCLA winning yesterday. I picked them both. Florida is currently leading midway through the second half, so if they hold on, I’ll have at least three of the four. Of course, I’m really needing Georgetown to come through, since I picked them to go the distance. We’ll see…

Some cool pictures of the mountain gorillas in Rwanda on the blog of a friend of mine, Todd Brogdon. Todd and his family moved to Rwanda last fall and are occasionally blogging their experience there. Check out the pictures in this post.
