I need to clean my Geek Room. The action figures and Funkos are getting pretty dusty.

What is the best way to clean your figures? I’ve got some dusty ones too.

I’m hugely fond of your current avatar, stvn1974! You should use more Iron Maiden avatars and some Judas Priest avatars, while you’re at it!

Get rid of all that blood and I bet she cleans up nicely Seriously, I have the film but haven't watched it yet. Now I need to see it.

I use different sized paint brushes that are mostly used for models. The softer the better. It is easier to get into the hard to reach places without worrying about breaking something.

You should also use Iron Maiden and Judas Priest profile pictures, too, since you avatars for those bands.

For some eye candy every so often, I also recommend Jennifer Love Hewitt avatars and profile pictures, like I always have!

Enjoy, homie!

Monkey Man is a damn fine movie. It would help to have a little background about Narendra Modi and religious persecution in India, the director/star Dev Patel just kinda threw that in there and most American audiences probably didn't know about it.

The American equivalent of Monkey Man would be (massive spoilers below, watch the movie first civic!) :

[Show spoiler]An Indian movie about America and filmed in Washington D.C., then assassinating a current American President on camera. It's bold as hell. India actually banned Monkey Man's theatrical release in India, I don't even think you can get it on disc in that country because of it.

^^ At first I was thinking that Modi was the actress lol But he's the president or PM or whatever My old boss at Straw Hat is from Pakistan and he's mentioned Modi a few times. I might need to brush up on my history a bit as the woman from work who I'm getting to know is an Indian Muslim originally from Fiji.

Yeah that’s my biggest issue/concern, basically as it can be difficult to get into the hard to reach areas.

I’ll pick up some brushes meant for models & go to town.

I would imagine non-alcoholic wipes.

I feel like the Sam Jackson and Travolta scene at the beginning of Pulp Fiction where they talk about cultural differences while the Jackson character was visiting Amsterdam. I’m in Tenerife in the Canary Islands enjoying my first ever overseas excursion, dealing with converting feet into meters, pounds into kilos, miles into kilometers and constantly calculating what military time means in “regular” time. It’s all confusing and a lot of fun! I enjoy the simple things in life and I’m having a great time despite the long travel time. It’s also fun being in a different time zone than mine. Every time I text someone in the States they think I’m nuts for contacting them so early

Apparently it's snowing here right now so I'd say there's at least 50/50 odds I either won't be working tomorrow or it'll be a reduced shift where they call us back to station early for safety reasons.

Throw 'em all into the dishwasher with lotsa soap. Use the "Heavy Duty" and "Sanitize" options for best results.

Bad, bad idea. I did something like that last year with one of mine. it got water clogged (lots of water inside). I had to take the head off just to fix the problem, but now I can't get the head back on. Won't be doing that again.

Avoid a lot of water at all costs. It will get all inside and then you're screwed. I would suggest the Pledge all purpose wipes. They are great at cleaning and dusting without getting everything water clogged.

Except that it was not an at all. It was a joke- with an emoji added to make the obvious even more so. I hope that this helps.

I'm just sitting here in my apartment listening to the silence that cold weather brings, thinking about how nice it is to just be here in my own place with enough food and a fizzy water to drink. I'm lucky compared to a lot of people. Some people live in apartments surrounded by noise and crime and neighbors who don't care about each other. I went to community college, I read a few books; I'm lucky that I understand what the scientific process is. I'm lucky that I survived my religious upbringing, and that from it I gained an understanding of human nature and the power of belief and groupthink.

I don't really use the internet outside of this site and a few YouTube channels about cars. The internet should be shut off for 5 years.

I don't read the news these days because American politics are so stupid that it hinders my efforts at not being so pessimistic now that I'm over 40.

The cats are wondering why I'm not putting a movie on.

Good evening
