(no subject)
So, remember when you were little and you couldn't believe the boring things adults wanted, and you decided that when you grew up you'd spend all your money on toys and it would be awesome?
LIVING THE DREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, yes, Catwoman is living out her Crazy Cat Lady dreams here, since I, due to my rent agreement, can't. :( Although I admit I probably wouldn't go as far as to get a white tiger.
Poison Ivy's hair, meanwhile, appears to have exploded. Not sure what happened there. Even villains have bad hair days, I guess.
So lets hope Bats is a cat person, otherwise he won't be happy. The Joker, of course, is a dog person:
Or possibly a wolf person - bit hard to tell really. I imagine he chose that particular dog for the fact that it appears to be wearing a domino mask. And the other one for it's distinguished eyebrows. Or maybe that one belongs to the Jokester - I mean, comedy eyebrows on a dog, who could resist? Mind you, if I hadn't resisted in the toyshop, they would both now be Hypno-Toad people. Or Ninja Attack Swan people. Seriously, there were some awesome toys there. (The swans weren't really ninjas. But they did appear to be mid-attack. I was highly tempted to get one and do a Sherlock Holmes: Case of the Blue Carbuncle tribute, but sanity temporarily prevailed, as I remembered I still needed to get the supermarketing for the week).
Owlman, meanwhile, appears to be outraged by the shoddy construction of the walls. I always think of Blutack as a legitimate housing material - others may disagree.
Downstairs, Batman might possibly be worried about this new pest control issue, except he's apparently too busy stuffing his face with waffles:
What I like best about this picture is that I've managed to get both the cakes and the Riddler's foot in focus...and NOTHING ELSE AT ALL. That takes talent, I think.
Now, what you might think you see here is the Goddamn Baby Batman and friends enjoying delicious baked goods while evil - or at least an evil petting zoo - lurks unchecked in the floor above - but in fact, what you're seeing is my very own Batman Approved Productivity Method.
...Let me explain. It's very slightly less crazy than it sounds.
Some time ago, when I started working from home part time, i had great difficulty remaining motivated and focused. I complained to my sister that, while wanting to commit to two full days sewing a week, I very rarely managed it, and consequently felt guilty and annoyed with myself. She suggested that perhaps it might be easier to divide it up into hours, so then I could split it over a few days if I found that suited me more. After thinking about this, I agreed that this was a good idea, as I could more happily commit to working hour by hour and then seeing if I wanted to stop for a while, rather than having to commit to a whole day at the very start of the day. So I decided that 13 hours was a good amount: 2 days worth minus breaks.
She then further suggested a tip she had read: by using a visual representation of the time, it's not only easier to keep track of, it's also more motivating to see it mount up - she suggested glass beads in a jar, and then when all 13 beads were there, the work was done for the week. This also seemed very wise to me, but I didn't have any beads or jars I liked around - but I did have Batman dolls and large quantities of model cakes.
So that's what I do each week. The little table starts of bare, and each time I finish an hour's work I put a little cake on the table, until it's all there, and the table is full. It's the Feed Batman Cake Productivity Method, and insane as it is, it really works for me. Because if Batman (and cake!) can't motivate you to get your work done... who can?
So that was the story of my productivity, Batman, and the Little Cakes. :)
Heh. Here, have a last picture of the Jokester, who, as usual, looks like he knows something we don't, and is very amused by it:
...Perhaps it's that straitjackets are totally where it's AT this season, you know? :)
