2002.02.19 4.30

It's 4:30 AM and I can't sleep. Went to the Sixers game last night and saw them totally kick the other team's ass. Iverson was great, of course. There was plenty of food and drink. Too much, even. That's not why I'm awake. Other than having plastic plates thrown at me while I was surfing the web on the Comcast internet connection there, all was good. The Company owns the suite and I am fortunate to get the chance to party in it. Some of us even considered what it would be like to live inside of it. Other than the giant freaking hole in one side of the suite that opens up into a basketball stadium, it's not half bad.

For some reason I have never documented the action figure madness that is my living room. What started off as a couple of X-Men action figures in 1992 has turned into a fairly significant collection. There is more than what you'll see displayed here. Somewhere after 1997 I figured out that I needed to get a life and stop screwing around with the action figures. However, this didn't stop me from buying more. I don't think I really got to play with toys enough as I grew up so now I'm making up for that lost piece of youth. The marketing material that makes up the cards, the blister pack, the thought out packing, all of it is total geeky goodness to me. My friends are always asking me if I could sell these if I had to. Yes. Although most of the fun is trying to find them and build a collection. Oh, that and trying to explain to the clerk why you are buying 35 Star Wars action figures at once.
