Big Return to Cubing!

Back in November, Candace gave me a V-Cube 6x6x6 Rubik's Cube, and I was ecstatic (it was a great gift, was it not?). Unfortunately, the thing had a problem with breaking a lot, and although I knew how to fix it, one day while showing it off to Evan's girlfriend Katherine, I somehow lost a crucial piece when some pieces popped out (as they tend to do) and wasn't able to use it again. That was in late January and essentially marked the cessation of my Rubik's Cubing entirely, until recently...

A few weeks ago, I started cubing again with my working cubes (my Rubik's 4x4x4 and 5x5x5) while listening to new indie music clips on iTunes (something I do a lot of now), but once this got boring, I started yearning to have a working 6x6x6 again, so I went on the V-Cubes website to order a replacement piece... To my surprise, they had all of their cubes on sale (40% off!), so I decided to order their 5x5x5 and monstrous 7x7x7. Well, those two cubes arrived about a week and a half ago, and I haven't stopped playing with them (and my newly repaired 6x6x6). You may be wondering why I ordered another 5x5x5...well, the Rubik's-brand cubes just don't rotate that smoothly, so I figured I would give the V-Cube a try. Fortunately, the V-Cube surpassed all my expectations, and I now LOVE solving the 5x5x5 (it's become my new "easy" cube, replacing the 3x3x3 and 4x4x4).

Anyway, so I'm back into cubing! Yay! To commemorate this momentous occasion, here's a Facebook album dedicated to my cubes!:
