This afternoon, Shaun sent a press release via email:Dear friends and associates,
I am pleased to inform you that after a horrendous week of packing, migration and unpacking, my humble abode, the Fortress of Testicular Fortitude is now up and running.
The main attraction of the Fortress is Shaun's Hacienda of Action Figures and Toys (SHAFT - yes, THAT black private dick who's a sex machine with all the chicks.) which promises music and blasters and
old Jedi masters. And once again, Em, thanks for coming up with the brilliant acronym.
Featuring a collection spanning seven years, from DC to Marvel, Dragon Ball to Gundam, Star Wars to Lord of the Rings, Transformers to WWE to and yes, even Brats to Barbie, this gallery is a culmination and consummation of Shaun's love for anything fantastic in plastic.
Do take a gander.
And don't miss his post about the migration either!
Here's (part of) his end-of-renovation presents. He came up with an even better place to display them.
Instead of below the mini version of this poster (look behind the toys on the first shelf).
Coincidentally, all those posters were given after we haven't seen each other for a few days.

I've been listening to The Mr Brown Show and in the Comic Con Day 3 podcast, Mr Miyagi talks about eating Hostess Donnetts (at about 7min, 40secs).(At first, I thought he was purposely mispronouncing donuts, until I checked out the Hostess website.)
If I had a million dollars, I would bring my friends to Comic Con. We'd fly business class, stay at a suite(s) in a luxury hotel, have chauffeur-driven big-assed SUVs, passes to the entire convention and all-related panels and workshops. And everyone would have ample spending money! We'd probably need to ship back all our stuff in containers. :D
And I would make sure the WAGs are entertained too. If they won't brave the crowds, then they can enjoy shopping, spas, shows or fine dining. Whatever floats their boat.
I can just imagine how much fun it would be to see Shaun going wild at the DC booth. Or to go exploring the Transformers, Marvel and Vertigo booths with Len. Sharing the Trekkie experience with Tjin-Kai. Screaming when I spot any Josh Wheedon product. Checking out the hot LOTR cosplayers. And so much more!
Sigh, what a fantastic dream...
You know, I still think about that episode of OC, where Seth gave up Comic Con to go traipsing to Tijuana. Hello? What was he thinking? Crazy!

Sometimes I get overwhelmed when I think about Shaun, of all people, being married, owning a flat and organising a wedding. It's all just so... ADULT.But when I see pictures like these, I'm reminded that deep down inside, he's still just a little boy. (phew!)
Many mere mortals have wistfully longed to bring home in-store displays, but it takes a Superman to actually do it. Woah, dude!
More photos at this thread.
SM, dear, if you are reading this, I think your display is unbalanced. The middle shelf needs a certain something... *evil grin*
(hurry up and come back to work! i can't wait to give you your end-of-renovation present.)

" And Rob had high standards for friends and lovers - which was why he could not compromise even when he was the most desperate.He believed that the people in his life were the best in the world, and having them in his life reflected to the outside world exactly who he was."

I don't like confrontations. I don't even like giving my opinion, just in case it upsets the other party.So when I actually do come up to someone to express my unhappiness, that's a very big thing for me.
I then expect the other party and I to have a rational discussion. I do not like to be told that I'm over-reacting or to be given a flippant, insincere apology. Neither do I like to hear a defeatist, self-pitying, "Fine! It's my fault. I just can't do anything right."
Just ask me to explain why I'm upset and then give a sincere apology. If you think you did no wrong, then say so. We can always agree to disagree. I just want to hash things out and then move on.
Is that so unreasonable?

It's Only Rock & Roll, But I Like It!
is back! Woohoo!It's still early on in the game, so the various personalities have yet to distinguish themselves. I also find it difficult NOT to compare with last season's performances.
See, for example, Knockin' on Heaven's Door by Jordis (Season 1) vs Toby (Season 2).

With Friends Like These...I forced Shaun to watch the ONIB video this morning. And I do mean forced.
During the video, he was cringing and contorting. He looked like he was going to cry. It wasn't a pretty sight and he barely came out intact.
I know he weathered through all 4 minutes only because of our deep, abiding Superhero bond. I do feel a tad guilty for torturing him so, but it was fricking hilarious to watch him!
Soon after, our intern walked by and sang the chorus, eliciting another round of moans from Shaun. And when our lunch date wanted to sing a few bars, I swear Shaun turned green. To top it all off, a common friend of ours emailed us the ONIB mp3.
*pauses to laugh my ass off*
I don't understand why a piece of 80s kitsch could affect the Man-of-Steel so, but he said it was just REALLY REALLY BAD. Got meh?
And in response, he decided to show me quality music. Do check out his 4th of July rampage.
Coincidentally, I found out yesterday that Leonard is currently spending
T-26 to Len's birthday.

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humbleThis is for
Kal-El was given the literature and knowledge of all the worlds in the 28 known galaxies. But maybe Jor-El had too much good taste to include this song!
Murray Head - One Night In Bangkok
What's the connection between Abba and ONIB? Find out here.
ONIB will always remind me of midnight cruising in Keemin's BMW with Tjin-Kai and company. For some reason, this song was a regular feature on the stereo system.
