Looks good Aliaz!

Thank you

Amazing what a paint job will do for that cabinet. Nice!

Yeah it makes a real difference. First piece of furniture Ive ever painted, so Im pretty happy with the results.

Its also a pain to put together, but worth it in the end. Only annoying thing is that the locks I bought dont dont fit cause there isnt enough room between the door and the bottom of the cabinet. Might have to mount them at the top but Id rather not.

I closed my Twitter account yesterday. I'm hoping I can do Facebook next. Social media is meh.

I have Twatter but only use it for Sideshow contests. Good for you, I don't blame anyone for walking away. The only thing I use actively is Facebook and that's to keep touch with family and friends.

Display cabinet is Finally done!

This is now my view from the couch

Probe Droid and Bossk are in place!

That is so nice looking. I love the clean look of white shelves. My original plan for the office was all white bookcases but my wife hated the idea. In hindsight I shouldn't have listened to her. The lack of light in my room tends to lose things on the wood shelves.

Are you going all 1/6 Star Wars in the display case?

Speaking of display, I finally got around to hanging the board I picked up on May 4th.

Yeah I prefer white aswell. I had a black billy bookcase before and now I switched to a white one. Big difference.

Yes it will be 1/6 Star Wars only in that cabinet. The speeder bike + scout trooper should be the next ones I get

Bossk wouldnt fit in the middle shelf but maybe he can be posed kneeling since I had planned on putting the speeder bike on the top shelf. But I guess that depends on how tall the speeder bike with the scout on it will be.

Facebook seems to be the worst in my opinion. Some days I go there and my feed is nothing but things people liked or commented on. Facebook seems to think we want to see everything our friends liked and commented on even if it's friends of theirs who we don't even know. It seems there is very few actual posts or photos from people.

All shelving throughout the house (even my desk, and the kitchen cabinets) are matte or gloss white. To reflect light, and as a blank canvas that will set off rather than clash with any items or art objects stored or displayed.

The problem with black or dark brown is it can suck up light, and wood grains may be gorgeous but if you display modern objects in materials like plastics or glass, it can be tricky to complement them.

Natural wood grain done well can be stunning, but IMO it's not ideal for things like say...1/6 collectibles or toys, and to further complicate matters, my girlfriend and I have slightly different styles so our respective items are best tied together via the light and airy white backgrounds.

Still digesting the article. Raises some interesting points.

Star Wars sucks. There, we said it. - Macleans.ca

Just saw Jurassic World - great movie. Enjoyed a couple of the throwbacks to the original film.

i only saw in 2d. but i will see it in 3d Imax, and real 3d, and then 2 more times just for good measure.

I saw it on Imax 3D, and thought it was AMAZING!!! I recommend seeing it that way, for those who have Imax screens.

I closed my Twitter account yesterday. I'm hoping I can do Facebook next. Social media is meh.

I'm kinda jealous. I hate social media. I mainly use Twitter for contests. I use Facebook for looking at specific pages, when I'm researching something. I don't read the news feed. I'm more likely to read tweets than the Facebook feed. Ain't nobody got time for that!

2D. There was nothing special about the 3D for this one.

I disagree, but maybe the 3D is better in Imax.

Bye Waller. Have fun being old!

We had to see it in 3D. I'd say see it in 2D. Nothing really on the 3D at all that I noticed other than the depth of the backgrounds... otherwise I wouldn't have even known I was watching it in 3D.

I thought the depth was AMAZING, and there were some things that jumped out of the screen. But, it was a conversion. There just aren't many films shot in 3D, besides cartoons. But there are 2 coming out this year that were. The Walk, and The Martian. I'm definitely seeing The Martian.

Looks great, but man, Bossk and Probot look lonely. They need friends!

Yep, Facebook is awful, unless you really really like to read about what's happening in a zillion people's lives. The one cool thing about Twitter is that you can tweet a celebrity, and they might respond to you. I never do this, but my friend does it all the time. About half of them responded!

Yep. And of course, they left the door open for another sequel.

2D was fine. But then, you prolly stole the 3D, eh?

Why you no quote me?

Stole? I no understand...
I didn't see you say anything worth quoting!

EDIT: I speculate you mean we sneaked into the theater. Nope. Not possible with Imax movies here, since they are glasses nazis. They make sure everybody returns the imax glasses, because they steam them, and re-sell them. I hate it. They make us wear used glasses... For RealD3D, you get new glasses every time. However, I never use em, since I have 3D clip-ons (for RealD3D only).

However, I did have $7.50 in Fandango cash from buying JP2, so the ticket was basically half price.

I saw Inside Out today, well technically yesterday now. It was pretty good.

re: (galactiboy's Cantina) "Where everybody knows your name..."

Yeah, because you mentioned stealing the 3D experience before...

Yeah, I've done it a few times, since I don't need the glasses due to my clip-ons. But usually it's cuz of my cheapass friends who don't want to pay that much money. I have disposable income. I don't care how much I pay for movies, if it's a movie I really want to see. But if it's a movie I'm not excited about seeing, then I don't want to pay a lot either. Hence, seeing Poltergeist for $2 at our Budget theater.

I don't usually like 3d movies. The only one that really impressed me was Avatar.

Do you mean disposable income?

My girl dog, Numa, just saw a still of Groot on the screen and she ****ing hates him!

Yes they do, hopefully the scout and speederbike and the stormtrooper 2-pack will arrive soon!

Maybe she thinks he's a big stick and wants to play fetch.
