I am the winner!

Today I went to three stores looking for a replacement 4X4 Rubik’s cube. Turns out they’re hard to find the day after Christmas. Eventually I realized that I was going to have to put my broken one back together again if I wanted to solve it by 2010. You might be wondering why I didn’t do this in the first place. The truth is, building things is my third least favorite thing in the world (after moving and racism). But I faced my fears, found a YouTube tutorial, and put the thing back together. w00t!

My own personal Mt. Everest.

This part is harder than it looks.

Take 2

And then I spent two hours solving it. Hooray!

I may not be good at parallel parking...but I can do this. Check me out!

I realize photos aren’t incontrovertible proof, but my mom vouches for me, and I know you’re not calling her a liar.

Now I feel like I accomplished something in 2009. On to the 5X5!

Thanks for following the saga.
