Thing # 7 (spot holder)

Scanned picture coming soon! I'm playing catch up here people!

Thing # 6 (spot holder)

This is just a spot holder for thing number six until I can borrow the TR branches' digital camera and snap off a few pics! I wonder if that cool Batman picture is upstairs - heh - don't think it is though.

Thing # 5

I'm not the world's biggest comic fan - but I love action figures and certain comic artists. I've been told he's one of the "love em or hate em" of comic artists but I think Alex Ross' art is awesome. He's more of a Superman guy, I'm more of a Batman guy - but that aside what he brings to us from Gotham is top notch. He does great work with guys like the Joker - giving him class while still keeping him as insane as it gets. When I was looking through Flickr I figured I'd google Batman for some cool comic art and went with Alex Ross - I was even more pleasently surprised to find all the cool pics people have taken of their action figures in cool poses and settings! Once I get my toy room a little more organized - I'll have to throw up a few of my own action figure worlds!

Thing # 2

That was a fun presentation to watch. I had a different response to every one of the habits, some made me nod, some made me shrug. The first one right off the bat made me shrug, "begin w/ the end in mind." That would be the hardest for me - I'm a little too "here and now" at times but I think I'm becoming more and more aware of that and giving it some attention. Habit 7 & 1/2, "Play", I am certainly good at - playing my bass, playing - or rather - posing my action figures, general playing around; playing, I'd say, is generally no problem for me. But I also felt "view problems as challenges" was my easiest. I def' like to learn new things and what better a way than to enjoy the challenge of fixing a problem!
