2025 me here: There was an image here. Can’t remember what it was. This was such a grateful little post though.
Well, this is it. October 24th. I’m now 25. I’ve been killing myself lately, but I’m going to take today pretty easy. Going to let my body just sleep and sleep and sleep. I will splurge on some good food and dessert. My parents sent me a corny yet wonderful gift of a Simpsons chess set in the mail. Something I would never ever buy myself but love the fact that I now have it. Also some money that I am not sure they can part with and I will feel very guilty depositing into my account. I get the feeling they struggle financially and work so hard to give their two children every opportunity possible. I feel very blessed to have them. They really gave me my independence growing up but always made it clear that they were there supporting me, not forcing religion or any expectations upon me, but making sure I knew University would really have a positive effect on my future and self. It was the type of parenting I needed and am grateful for and they are still doing it today.

I like it. I am not someone who is into colectables so I will actually play this whenever I have the oppurtunity. I wish there was a little more variety in the pieces, it is just the family and Krusty. Maybe they should have used different characters for the pawns instead of all Maggie.

Yeah, they definitely could’ve improved on the variety of the character pieces. The inclusion of Krusty seems rather arbitrary, especially when you consider just how many other significant secondary characters there are in the Simpsons.
But really though, theres no product that wouldn’t leave me complaining about a character being left out. Thats just a testament to how great of a show it is.
