Let it be known that, in addition to amassing more video games than I will ever play through again in my lifetime, I also have more comic books than I could ever read. This is simply one of the trappings and joys of being a nerd. That said, not all nerds are smart or have a firm grasp on physics -- especially physics which pertain to how many video games and comic books can sit on top of a wimpy and poorly installed wire mesh closet shelf. The baboon that set this up skimped on sufficient bracket supports and didn't inverse the hook grips on the back, so while sorting my Jim Lee's from my McFarlane's the entire shit came crashing down, clothes and all. Luckily, I came out unscathed -- ducking a box and involuntarily catching two. Epic fail.
I ended up running out last night and buying a new closet system. So where is this story going, and what the hell does this have to do with the greatest music game on the GBA? Not much, honestly. Unless your brain is wired like mine.
Wut?
What's probably funnier is that Colette had the same reaction at the same time. She says she saw it first. We're going to fight about this until we're 60.

Actually, on second though, you should create a video of what the experience was like, except you should embelish on it. Think of it along the lines of Indiana Jones. Your closet is like this dangerous Aztec temple, with golden comic books stacked every where. When you grab the most important one, the entire temple and all of it's comic start grumbling down around you, and you have to escape them all unscathed.
OK ... I might have gone a little over the top there ...
I love both of you.
And Tengoku.
Our was, before hand, a large wodden dowel with plywood on top. The new closet was oh so shiney but taking down the old one was a bitch and not having the proper tools made it suck even more. Taking out polastic screw plugs with a knife = going to walk in to get your finger chunk you just ripped open glued and sewed shut.
Fuck closets!
I tell you what, if I ever need cheering up I just go and look at my flatmate's wardrobe. One of these plastic and rubber things that belong to ten year olds. It is a fucking shambles, caved in to the absolute max. his clothes aren't hanging on the rail, they are hanging on the lip of the whole thing and it is all being held up by a pile of shit at the bottom.
This makes no sense at all to you, but to me it is crystal clear...
Jees, I can't wait to live with me woman.
That's just awesome.
