So, in May, after graduating and moving back home, the town's main backed up and about 500 gallons of sewage spewed from my toilet and destroyed my room and 75% of my belongings. Eventually, the town claimed responsibility (damn right) and paid for repairs and replacements of my room and all of my things.
Here's some pics of the horror:
First, the poopy water coming into my room. At this point, I had run out of ways to stop the water and the town wasn't showing up, so I decided to take a picture for the memories, you know?
HAZMAT guys showed up to clean out the room, despite me having basically been drenched in the crap.
My box of "childhood memories"
Poor, poor Batman...
So, they've finished the construction and I began moving in a couple days ago. I received the Mattel arena in the mail on the same day and set up my new arena and mini-display. About 90% of my figures will remain in storage for the time being as I'm really liking the less-cluttered look for now.
I would also like to point out something some people may be interested in. I disabled the audio on the entrance stage so now ONLY the lights work and I can play entrance themes via my ipod. I did this in a way that will cause the sound never to work again, but I also didn't have to break the thing open. I simply took a thumbtack and pushed it through a few of the holes on the speaker until the sound began to whimper and eventually just died. Wasn't sure if it was going to work, but I would've never used it with the sound, so I figured it'd be okay either way. Now, onto the pics...
Hope you've enjoyed my *crappy* story and new display pics. Questions/comments more than welcome!
