Current Song: “Pal Norte (ft. Orishas)” by Calle 13

So just like I said, right after work, I went out and bought that Atlantic DVD Shelf at Best Buy. I have to say that I still really hate Best Buy. The people working there, for the most part, are retarded and don’t know their own store. To give you an example, the guy I got to help me find the shelf I wanted to buy had to go check the back of the store twice to see if he could find the shelf (this was after he took forever looking it up in the computer, mind you) and he still had no luck. After he went for a third time to the storage in the back of the store, I finally decided to look around the store’s anime section to see what was new. I found out that the “Le Chevalier D’Eon” Livre III is out already, so I need to buy that. But anyways, after looking through the store’s anime DVDs, I decided I was fed up with this guy failing at life and went out and tried to find the shelf myself. Turns out that by the time he came back from his third visit to the storage in the back I had already found the shelf and he felt pretty stupid. He then got the shelf box for me and took it to the front so I could pay for it, which was kinda cool.

After getting home and opening the box containing the pieces of the shelf-to-be, I have to say I had my doubts. The pieces were all made of that crappy “compressed wood” that most cheap things are made out of now a days. But after taking about an hour building the thing, I have to say it’s pretty sturdy. It holds way more stuff than I thought it did, that’s for sure. uLTraCarL sure as hell had me worrying with the comments he left in my last post where I talked about getting a shelf because he said “You can probably fill the entire thing with with everything you have in those three pictures as it stands.” and “You’ll be surprised how fast those shelves fill up :O” but it turns out he was probably just exaggerating. As you can tell from the picture up top, I had put all of my manga, some of my video games, my Nintendo GameCube, a bunch of CD-Rs, some video game and anime OSTs, my old phat DS, two of my GBA consoles, my Noir card deck, my RahXephon T-shirt, my Full Metal Panic! T-Shirt, my GBA SP box, my DS box, some of my DS/GBA games, my StarCraft battle chest, my Half-Life Platinum Collection Box and my Family Guy season boxed sets just to make it look like the shelf is full of anime DVDs.

So yeah…crazy stuff. Shelf looks pretty though, I like it. Thanks for the recommendation again CarL. ^_^ More high-rez pictures of the shelf after the jump.
