I feel accomplished.

It took many hours of slow, methodical work, but I managed to to put an entire bookcase together and mostly filled. Dozens of screws, screw-like buttons, and 56 nails later, and I'm fairly proud of my work. A few nails went in slightly wrong from the back and broke the boards a bit, but they are minor and easily covered with books. I haven't fully unpacked my books or comics in over 5 years of being here and it feels lovely to have them out. I've had a large corner of my room taken over by half-opened boxes from whenever I wanted to read this or that, but between the bookcase and computer desk, it's starting to look like a real room.

As I decided I don't want my several year collection of Ultimate Spider-Man comics (I started a subscription at like #7), all my comics fit on a single 3-foot shelf, with room for a few more graphic novels. Said graphics already take up a good foot of the shelf, surprising even myself. Mostly as I tended to use them to firm up the comics in boxes, so I'd only have one or two side by side, book-ending the small ones. I most definitely have an interesting collection of comics overall. A smattering of everything, both DC and Marvel. Graphics I have plenty of Deadpool, some Spider-Man and Hulk, X-Men of various eras, Batman, Superman, a few Batman/Superman, and Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner GL, as I grew up reading comics in the 90s). I'd forgotten how many Iron Man comics I have. I kept that subscription at least as long as the Ultimate X-Men and Ultimate Spider-Man ones, which went for 2-3 years. Iron Man didn't disappoint, unlike the Ultimate line. It was during the whole living armor saga too, so it was pretty epic.
