Editing KOTG Podcast

After running around all day I spent the rest of the day assembling two Knights of the Guild podcasts. Most of the editing was done a few days ago I just had to add bumpers and such and do my final pass. I finished Episode 17 part 1 and did everyone for part 2 with exception to the Fan Interview as we haven't done one yet.. so I left a hole that will be easily filled once it's done. Very excited to have both podcasts done and ready to go.. now I just need to build blog pages and upload the podcast and they will be ready for release on June 15th and 29th.

Busy Day

Today was a busy day. First thing we did was go to Harry's dental appointment. He was getting two permanent crowns. They were going to knock him out for a 1/2 hour so I hung out and just waited. When he came out about and hour later he was a little out of it but quickly recovered, it was nothing like the last visit were he was out of it for hours. When we got to Target to get Kenobi's birthday present he was good to go in with me. We then went to my local comic book shop as I have been trying to get The Guild comic issue #3 for the past week.. I was successful!!! After that we headed to Islands for some lunch as Harry hadn't had it in a long time and it's one of our favorite places to eat. After enjoying burgers and cheddar fries we headed home. Harry was felling great and wasn't feeling anything after his dental work.

My Weight Issues

I've never been a skinny person, even as a kid I always had a little belly. I'm short, only 5'4" and have a stocky built. All through high school I weight roughly between 155 and 165, in collage and in my 20's it went up to 165 to 175. I ate horribly and knew that but to counter the poor eating I worked our 3 to 4 times a week so I was able to maintain my weight.

But some where in my 30's life got alot more complicated and busy and working out took a back seat but the bad eating continued. Then a few years ago my doctor put me on testosterone as my levels were extremely low, something that I was completely unaware of. My doctor saw my numbers and asked if I lacked energy or had a low libido. I told him I didn't think so but when I started the testosterone my energy almost tripled, I never knew what "normal" energy was like so I had nothing to compare it too, but man it was nice. There were several side effects to the testosterone treatments. First one is having a higher libido (which really isn't a problem), second is growing more body hair (again not really an issue as I'm not a hairy guy so it was a nice change). But the third one is the most serious one and that is having the appetite of a 16 year old. I am hungry all the time, morning, noon and night. I can eat and a few hours later be hungry. And since my eating habits are horrible to begin with and I'm not working out this is not a combination.

About a year ago I was weighted at the doctors and I found out that I had gone over 200 for the first time in my life.. I was at 204 pounds. I could not believe I allowed myself to go past 200, something I swore I would never do. Well today I just weighted myself and I am now at 212, it's the heaviest I have ever been and I felt sick to my stomach. I asked myself how did this happen... why did I allow this to happen.. and what am I going to do to change this.

I'm going to be 40 this year and if I continue to gain weight it can be a health issue. It's time for a change. Harry and I have been looking at home gyms and as soon as we get back from vacation we plan on buying one for our garage. I think once I start working out and I shed some pounds but of course the bigger issue for me is my diet and appetite. I'm not going to stop the testosterone treatments, but I don't want always be hungry.. I'll need to find a happy medium.

My goal is to be below 200 pounds by the end of the year... that's only 12 pounds but it's going to be a battle.. I'll keep you guys updated on my progress here on my blog.

Knights of the Guild Song

Two wonderful Knights of the Guild listeners Ben Brusell and Kent Elliott commissioned Matthew Gehrett http://www.matthewgehrett.com/ to write and sing a Knights of the Guild theme song.

Ben told me he was working on something but I had no idea it was going to be a song and a FANTASTIC song at that.

I've said it many times.. but The Guild and Knights of the Guild have some pretty cool fans.

7 Years Ago

Today 7 years ago I went to LAX to meet this Austrian guy that I had been talking to online for the past 3 months. We were hoping the chemistry we had online would translate to chemistry in person.. well after seven years I guess you could say it did.

Happy 7 Year Anniversary on the 1st time we meet in person.

Shrek 4

Today Harry and I went to see Shrek 4 The Final Chapter (or as it says in the title of the movie - Forever After) , this is the 4th installment of the Shrek franchise, not including the Xmas TV special. As with all the other installments I loved the characters, the story and of course the animation. It was funny, witty, sweet, sincere and just plain entertaining. We did see it in 3D and to be honest it's not really necessary and if I knew the tickets were going to be $5 more the for the 3D I would have waited the half hour and saw the 2D version.. but regardless of that it's just a fun movie. Can't wait to buy it on Blu-Ray.


Here's a short synopsis:

A bored and domesticated Shrek pacts with deal-maker Rumpelstiltskin to get back to feeling like a real ogre again, but when he's duped and sent to a twisted version of Far Far Away -- where Rumpelstiltskin is king, ogres are hunted, and he and Fiona have never met -- he sets out to restore his world and reclaim his true love. Now, it's up to Shrek to undo all he's done in the hopes of saving his friends, restoring his world and reclaiming his one True Love.

RIP Rue McClanahan

I'm a huge Golden Girls fan and the past few years we have lost them one at a time. Today one we lost another, Rue McClanahan, died. A fan made this awesome picture and I couldn't help but smile. It's going to be a very sad day when the last Golden Girl passes as she is my favorite.



RIP Rue McClanahan, you will be greatly missed!!

Trucks, Shopping and Movies

Today we had to drop Harry's truck off at the dealer for some recall repairs. We knew it was going to be there all day so I drove down in my Jeep to pick him up. While we were out we decided to go shopping for my nephews birthday gift (as his party is Saturday). I knew I wanted to get him a little red wagon. We headed Target and found the red wagon but they have changed so much since I was a little kid. They now have fold down seats and seat belts and all. I wasn't sure if this was the style they were looking for so I called my sis-in-law and left a message seeing is this was cool. Another thing we had to get was Friends Season 7 & 8, as we have all the other seasons and Harry is on his Friends Marathon where he watches every episode from beginning to end. He finished season six last night so we had to get these so he could continue. We found season eight at Target but had to go do Best Buy to get season seven..we now have the complete 10 seasons of Friend. And while we were there I couldn't resist picking up Big Bang Theory Season 2 for only $19.99

It was now 10:3am so we headed to a Denny's Diner to get some breakfast, breakfast was good but the service wasn't so hot. After Denny's we went to the movies as there are several movies we both wan to see. Today we planned to see Shrek 4 - The Final Chapter. We opted for the 3D version as it was starting first but not realizing the matinee tickets for this were $13 dollars each. I would have preferred to wait a half hour for the regular screening, but it was a fun movie and the 3D was cool (I'll post a separate view). After the movie we were hoping Harry's truck would be done but no luck.. so we headed home for about an hour before the dealer called us up and said the truck was now ready.. so I drove him back down and he picked up his truck. while I stopped by a comic book store looking for The Guild comic #3 (with no luck, they sold out). I grabbed some dinner on my way home and we finished the busy with relaxing in front of the TV hanging out.

Editing KOTG Podcast

Today I spent all day editing my Knights of the Guild podcast Episode 17 parts 1 & 2. Since Harry and I are going on vacation I want to get these done early so all I have to do is post them on June 15 and June 29th.

These needed a fair amount of editing but I did finish both.. now all I have to do is assemble them into podcasts.. I'll do that another day.

Vacation Woes

Today we found out that the RV trailer that we were going to borrow from my sister-in-law is too large and heavy for Harry's truck, though he has a large and powerful truck.. it's just not enough to pull the over 30 foot trailer. So now we have to come up with a plan B. We either rent hotels along the way (keep in mind will have Daisy with us) or we rent a smaller RV/trailer (looks like what will be doing). Of course this will be an unexpected expense but Harry and I have gone on a vacation since 2005 and are really looking forward to this trip.. will make it work one way or another.

Pocasting and More

Today I finished cleaning the house. Jenni came over and we recorded our next podcast Knights of the Guild Ep. 17 parts 1 & 2. Then Harry and I went out and did some more weed pulling (it's a never ending battle). Feeling okay.. no better but no worse then yesterday.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

This will be opening on June 18th (only a few weeks away) but they are having some soft openings and my favorite guys from my favorite Harry Potter podcast Pottercast were lucky enough to go. They posted several videos and if I wasn't excited before, after watching these video I am over the moon excited. This is how much of a Potter fanatic I am, these video brought tears to my eyes.. I can't wait to go.. looking like I'll be planning a four day adventure sometime in August if every pans out.. I'll keep you guys posted.

Happy Birthday Kenobi

Today is my nephew's very first birthday..



Happy Birthday Kenobi..



Uncle Kenny and Harry loves you bunches.

Still Sick

So I'm still not feeling great.. I'm at about 85% so I'm feeling better and better as the days go by but still not 100%. There is so much to do I just wish I could motivate myself to do some of it.. that and not feel sick for sitting up for too long. I did manage to clean up the house a bit. Jenni is coming over tomorrow to record our next podcast and I want the house to look halfway decent. I haven't felt so hot the past week or so.. hope it passes soon... I'm tried of being sick.

Personal Website

You may or may not know but I have a personal website. I've had it for over 10 years. It was on yahoo geocities until that went under and I had to move it. I purchased my own url Geekyfanboy.com and have slowly started rebuilding my site. I have most of the links working but there are still a few like "our house", "vacations", and The Guild that need to be worked on. I say it's a work in progress as it continues to change. It kind of like an out of sight out of mind type of thing. I look forward to finishing it and then only having to update it once in a while. If you want to get to know me a little better then check it out. http://geekyfanboy.com

I hate being sick

Well I'm still a bit sick.. feeling about 80% but I did manage to get outside for a half hour and take down some more weeds. I feel like we turn out back and new weeds sprout up moments after we cut them down. We are looking into getter a more heavy duty brush mower type thing. They cost a few thousands but it's going to be like this every year it will be well worth the money.

Glee

Yeah I'm still sick and today I watched the last five episodes of Glee. This isn't a must see show for me and what I mean by that is I will let a few (of in this case 5) episodes build up before watching them. This batch of five had some really great episodes including guest star Olivia Newton John, who I love and it was so great to see her back on TV and re-doing her "Physical" video. Another cool episode was one directed by Joss Weadon and guest starred Neil Patrick Harris which was a lot of fun but my favorite parts of the show is the relationship of Kurt (the gay character) and his father. I think it's a very positive look at a gay youth and his family dealing with it. The music is great but what I love most about this show are the characters.

V

Been sick the past few days and one good thing about that it makes me rest and when I rest I watch TV so I was able to catch up on some of my DVR'd shows. Today I watched the final 2 episodes of V. Now if you've read my blog you know I'm a huge fan of the original and had high hopes for the remake. It started off strong but lost it's way for a few episode but I have to say the final five or so episodes have been AWESOME and that goes for the finale as well. The story is ramping up and so many things are happening. I'm so glad this series was picked up for a second season as they left some great cliffhangers. My favorite character on V is of course Anna (Morena Baccarin from Firefly) She plays such a cold hearted bitch, some of the stuff she does, especially to her own daughter just makes you cringe. I won't put in any spoilers in this blog but man this series had become one of my favorite. Can't wait for the DVD and of course Season Two.

Insomnia

I don't get insomnia very often but man when I get it, I get it bad. It's currently 2:18am I'm exhausted as I had gotten up super early 6am for The Guild shoot yesterday. I don't know what it is my body is very restless as I lay in bed tossing and turning finally getting up around 1am and start pacing the bedroom hoping to get tired. That's didn't work so I'm now on the computer catching up on my blog. On top of the insomnia I think I'm getting sick :(

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Fourteen

Today we were on location once again. Actually there were two locations but I did not go to the second location. But man oh man the stuff they shoot today was some of the funniest stuff I had seen all season. I did manage to get a few more interviews, so that was good. But today is the "last" day of shooting at least for a few weeks... then we will all get back together once again for our "final" shoot day.

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Thirteen

Today was a fun day on the set of the Guild season four. I didn't get many interviews done as I wanted but I did get some key ones done so it felt like a productive day for me. It was a very long day on set and we also wrapped out of the location, which means we removed everything and this always takes longer then a "regular" day. We also got our "cast & crew" t-shirts... of course I would love to show them to you but I can't as the image on the front plays a part in season four... so for now they have to stay under wrap.

Only a few more days left for this season and though I will be sad that it will be over I'll be happy as well as I have a ton of audio that I have to sift through and organize for the KOTG "Special Season Four" podcasts.

Lost

Just finished watching the series finale of Lost.. and my first thoughts are that it was good.

I first saw the pilot episode at comic con months before it premiered and I LOVED it. I watched every single episode and though there were some ups and downs, overall I loved every minute of it. I knew whatever ending they did they wouldn't be able to answer all the questions they had posed over the six seasons. Toward the end of Season 6 they answered a few long standing questions but then asked many more new ones.

"The End" (title of the final episode) was very emotional and moving, every time someone would have a flashback to the island and remember events and loved ones made me cry. It was great to see old cast members make a return and overall I was satisfied on how it ultimately ended. But wow, they left way too many unanswered questions and the final scene is still a bit confusing. But I'm sure as the days go by and I read/listen to other people's interpretation I'll have a better understanding of what actually happened.

You made ask how could I like the finale when I didn't understand some of it... well that's LOST!

Yard Work

It's great having 2 1/2 acres of land but man when you have to weed that land it's a nightmare. Both Harry and I have been working on the weeds for the past month.. we go out a few hours a day. Well Harry does it more as he is home more then me. But it's tough work and it seems by the time to finish one section and move on to the next the section you just did has new weeds growing in it. The issue with us is we can' t use any kind of weed control because of the water table (which is our drinking water). So we have to hand pull thousands and thousands of weeds. Today we went to Home Depot and pick up some tools to help us in this battle. We put a good fight but I feel like we are losing. May have to resort to some outside help (a gardener). But for now will put on a good fight.

Editing KOTG Podcast

Today since I wasn't on set of The Guild I was able to work on the latest Knights of the Guild podcast #16 part 2. I want to post it in less then a week so I figured it would be a good idea to actually start editing it. I had done the bulk of editing a few weeks ago but still had to assemble the pieces and then add sfx. I manage to get it all done fairly quick and now I'm just converting the files and then it will be ready for upload.

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Twelve

Today I was asked not to come to set as they are shooting in very confined spaces and using a skeleton crew. This is the second time that I was not allowed on set and I have to say that I'm bummed as I always enjoy being on set and as the official podcaster it's fun to watch all the scenes so I can talk about them on the podcast... but with that said I understand production and the craziness that happens with a bunch of people on set and unfortunately I'm probably one of the more expendable crew members. So no Guild for me today but this does free up a day to do stuff around the house.

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Eleven

Back on the Guild set for Day 11 of a 15 day shoot. I have to say this was one of the funnest days so far. The scene they were shooting is one of the funniest and coolest scenes of the season. I got a bunch of cast and crew interviews done, it was a very productive day.

Visting Family

Today Harry and I went down to visit my family (Dad, Brother, Sister-in-law and Nephew). It's been a few weeks and I like to see these guys as much as we can. When we got there my mom was there visiting as well so it was great to spend some time with her as well. We visited with everyone for a hour or so and then took dad out to lunch at our favorite Chinese restaurant Hong Kong's. After that we had planned to take Dad to a movie but he had plans to play poker later that day so instead we headed back to their house and visited with family for a few more hours before heading home.

It's always great seeing my family and now that I'm an Uncle I love seeing Kenobi as much as I can as he is growing up so fast. He'll be 1 years old next month, I can't believe how times flies.

Star Wars Love

Today marks the 30 anniversary of Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back. This is my favorite of the first trilogy and one of my all time favorite movies. I was 9 about to turn 10 when I first saw this. My first viewing of this movie is one of the most vivid childhood memories that I have. I remember who I was with, where I was when I saw it and how it made me feel.

The original Star Wars shaped my childhood, it made me the lover of Science Fiction and Fantasy. I wouldn't be the GEEK I am today if it wasn't for Star Wars. So when I heard there was a sequel being made I was over the moon. Luckily my Dad was an avid fan (we saw Star Wars 14 times in the drive in theater) so we were there on opening day to see Empire. It's hard to put into words what I felt while watching this movie... it was pure ecstasy. I was transported to this wonderful world of good and evil, creatures and space battles and I loved every minute of it.

Nothing will every compare the same feeling as seeing Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, this was before computers, internet and mass media. Movie openings were EVENTS, Going into these movies you knew nothing (at least I didn't as I was still very young). These movies were the forefather of summer blockbusters and nothing will every take their places.

Happy Anniversary Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back.. thank you for allowing me to take a journey to a galaxy far, far away

Ironman II

It's been months since we've been to the movies so I was excited to finally be going. There are several movies on my list that I want to see before they leave the theater (Clash of the Titans, Kick Ass, How to Train your Dragon and Ironman II) So today we saw Ironman II. I was a huge fan on the first Ironman so my hopes were high for the sequel and it didn't disappoint. The story was good and the special effects were EXCELLENT!!! I love these kinds of movie as they require very little thought. You just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Here's a synopsis of Ironman 2:

With the world now aware of his dual life as the armored superhero Iron Man, billionaire inventor Tony Stark faces pressure from the government, the press, and the public to share his technology with the military. Unwilling to let go of his invention, Stark, along with Pepper Potts, and James "Rhodey" Rhodes at his side, must forge new alliances - and confront powerful enemies.

Be sure to stick around after the credits for something special.

Vehicle Maintenance, Lunch and a Movie

Today we got up early because Harry had to take his truck into the Dodge dealer for it's 12,000 mile check up. He likes to take it to the dealer he bought it from which is in Canoga Park. We left the house around 9:45am as we both had to get gas before heading down. Harry drove his truck and I drove my jeep. We dropped off his truck at 11am and they said it would be a few hours before it was ready.

I needed to get one of my tires fixed as I had a flat tire last week and was using my spare which didn't look so hot either. I went to Just Tires in Reseda as I have used them in the past. I was told that my flat tire was not repairable as the puncture was on the side. So in the end I bought two new tires. They replaced my front two with the new tires. Took my front tires and put them on the back and took the one good back tire and I'm not using it as my spare... all in all what I thought would be a $30 fix turned into a $250 fix. Things never go as planned.

After that we decided to go to lunch. We headed toward Wienersnitizal but I then suggested Wood Ranch at the Northridge Mall as it's a place that we both love and have only been to a few times. We got there, parked and went in and noticed that the entire waiting staff were in the lobby area. We were informed that the resturant was closed due to something. They gave us some coupons and said they didn't know when they would be open again. We then decided to go to Claim Jumpers as it was near by and again it's a place that we both like but very rarely go to. I got a chicken lunch when Harry got a steak lunch. Harry really loved his lunch and my was very good but you know how it is when you're in the mood for something but don't get it. Well I was really in the mood for Wood Ranch chicken, baked beans and their incredible rolls so lunch was a big disappointing to me.

After the lunch we headed over the Lens crafters as I have been wanting to get new eye glasses as I get occasional headaches and I think it's because my prescription has changed. Anyways we get in there and find out that the next appointment is 2 1/2 hours away, so instead we head to the movie theater in the mall area. There wasn't really anything that both Harry and I wanted to see playing at the time. We headed to a larger movie theater in Winnetka and found a showing of Ironman II playing in less then 20 minutes of us arriving. So we saw Ironman II (which I'll review in my next blog). After the movie we headed back to the Dodge dealer and picked up Harry's truck, which we found out there are several recall issues he will need to deal with so we have to take it back in a few weeks.

All in all thought we spent a few hundred dollars today it was nice to just hang out and have lunch and a movie with the Hubby.. we both agreed that we are going to try and do this at least once a month.

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Ten

Around 3:30 I got a call from Brian who informed me that they were almost done shooting and if I wanted to interview Sean (Director) I would need to get down there soon. So I took a quick shower, packed up my equipment headed to set. Got there around 4:30, they were still filming so I hung out with Kim and Greg for a bit until they were done. I then helped to wrap the location and finally got to sit down with Sean and talk about the past four days of shooting. We now have two days off and start our final days of Season Four shoot of The Guild.

Stuff Around the House

I got up around 9am and checked my email, I still hadn't gotten my call sheet for today so I wasn't sure if they were going to allow me on set today. Since they are in very close quarters they are having a skeleton crew Around 11am I got a call my producer Kim who explain what was happening today on set and said I could come by if I wanted to. I then got a text from Brian, who is doing the The Guild EPK and he said I should come in later in the day as not much is really happening. So instead I watched a bit of TV, caught up with some emails and yard work.

1999 Silvia Parts Front Side View

Final version of the Silvia Cars, the S15, for most parts of the world, styling upgrades. But in Japan, had Silvia Parts offered in two packages: the performance-oriented R Spec and somewhat subdued Spec-S, which corresponds to what is in exports.

In the R-Spec cars, Nissan offers several Silvia Parts packages, including V-package, Class B, Style and produced cars Varietta folding hard top convertible on Spec-S. The above versions are available for S15 owners motivated to change their vehicles.
Nissan Manufacturer wants power competition in the Japanese Grand Touring Car Championship (JGTC), he developed S15. Lessons from the Nissan Skyline GTR was sent to all models S15 Silvia Cars. For example. The two cars share some aluminum suspension components and differences also adds body and chassis has been strengthened, especially rigidity in much the same way as the Nissan Skyline GTR: the rails, rear floor, body bar, and behind walls.

My Unexpected Day Off

Well I never made it to the set of The Guild today as planned.. luckily Brian got some good stuff for in my absence. Instead I caught up on some everyday "life" things (emails, housework, tv). I also worked on re-designing my Knights of the Guild podcast logo.. what do you think? (Click on the image to enlarge)

Still haven't gotten a call sheet for tomorrow so I'm still unsure if I'm going to set tomorrow or not. Guess will find out when I wake up tomorrow.

No Ordinary Family & The Cape

Two new Fantasy/Scifi/Geeky TV series coming this fall/midseason.

First one is on ABC this fall called No Ordinary Family, from the preview it reminds me of the Pixar movie The Incredibles.



The second one is on NBC and will be coming midseason and it's called The Cape. This one reminds me of a Batman kind of superhero. Don't have super powers but has cool techy toys and awesome fighting ablity.



Both shows look AWESOME but most of these shows don't make it pass a season. Let's hope these new shows can capture a large audience.

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Nine

Well today I was asked not to go to set as it's a smaller set and space is limited. I was bummed as I enjoy being on set but understand as Brian the EPK guy is going to set today and I'll be going to set tomorrow while he takes the day off. Brian plans on interviewing a cast member and I really wanted to be there for that so Kim gave me the okay to join him when he does this. So until I get that call I am at home working on organizing all my audio bites from the past eight days of shooting. So much good stuff.. have to listen to them and place them in the appropriate episode folders. This will make it easier when I build the "companion" podcast for the new episodes of The Guild.

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Eight

On location again today but this time with no extras and man is it quiet on set today. Only a few cast members, but the same large crew but the feeling is much more subdued. Just me today on set as Jenni had to work. I got a few good interviews and watched some fun scenes being shot. We had a really good lunch today (not that we normally don't) but today's was particular good. After the shoot we wrapped from that location and man it was exhausting. On to another location tomorrow.

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Seven

Another day on location with a ton of extras. Working with the extras is always fun as all are fans of the show, most are not actors just people who want to be part of The Guild experience. The entire cast was on set today which is always fun when you can get the core six cast members together. Besides the fact that Jenni and I got several great interviews we were both extras in a fun scene along with Marshall (Jeff Lewis' wife). We had tons of fun between takes. Not sure how much you'll see of us, but it was still fun to take part as it's a tradition for me as I have been in episodes from Season 2 & 3 and now hopefully 4.

Guild Shoot Season 4 - Day Six

Back on set of The Guild season 4. Joining me today for the podcast recording is my co-host Jenni, which makes it extra fun. It's a big day on set, can't say why or where we are but there are a bunch of extras and several cast members. We got a lot of interviews with Extras and some cool casts interview. The crew had a 5am call time but luckily as I am a podcaster I can make up my owe time to come in but since I didn't want to miss much I got in around 8am and we were here until 6pm. Tomorrow is going to be another fun day.. looking forward to it.

Lots of Guild Posts

Sorry about all these Guild posts but for the next few weeks The Guild will be taking over my life with them shooting Season 4 and me doing the official podcast. I'll try and sprinkle in some stuff happening in my life other then The Guild but like I said, it's a rather big part of my life at the moment.

"9" Action Figures

Got my "9" Action figure today.. a friend on twitter tweeted about getting his and I had no idea that they even made any figures from that movie. I wasn't able to find them in stores so I moved to ebay, I paid a bit more then I would have liked but they just arrived and they are AWESOME!!!

I also realized that I haven't bought a single action figure/toy since we moved.. it's going on a year. And if you know me, you know that's pretty amazing.

Need to build my new toy room so I can get everything displayed and start collecting again.

BTW.. if you don't know what "9" is.. you need to rent/buy/netflix it now!!!
