I'm Not Just a Mindless Consumer...
...it only looks that way. As I buy myself two Joker posters, a sixteen month 2009 "Dark Knight" calendar, and a t-shirt with Heath ledger's visage as the Joker splayed across it. (I'm also not obsessed either. So nyah.) I'm not sure where the posters will go, and I'd kinda like to frame them before I put them up so they don't get damaged at all (hey, I spent a whole $12 on those things and I don't want it to go to waste) but whatever. Right now I'm debating where to put the calendar anyway-- it'd go nice right over my computer but I already have something there. I guess I'll just have to take down my hanging wall scroll 2008 calendar on the other side of the room. (It's cute and has Chinese artwork on it of these two adorable little kids in traditional Chinese clothes holding traditional Chinese banners that have traditional Chinese characters on them. I got it for free in a traditional Chinese restaurant, lol.) I'll probably post pictures of my awesome new stuff in a bit. Right now I'm kinda busy. xp

Anyway, cheers! And on an incidental note my dad is a fan of Heath Ledger's Joker same as me. He even wants a Joker t-shirt of his own, which he might very well get if they don't sell out of them at the mall. Or I guess he could probably buy one online someplace. Who knows? 3nodding



EDIT: And now for the pictures I promised. And... here... we... go!!

T-shirt (tee-shirt? Whatever) of awesomeness. It took me forever to get a decent pic of this because I basically had to hold the shirt up in front of my face, click the mouse to activate my iMac's built-in camera, and hope for the best since I couldn't see the preview for the image at all with fabric in my way. He looks very spooky, doesn't he? wink

Front cover for calendar of doom. (The glare you see is from my computer monitor. And I hate how they reversed the image of the Joker at left-- it's so obviously reversed and couldn't they have easily have just used another image if they were all concerned about "compositional balance" or whatever? These snooty artist types, I tell ya. rolleyes )

Back of calendar of doom. Hee hee hee. xd

Our first glimpse inside the calendar of doom. "Well, hello, beautiful... You look nervous."

For reference purposes (and for fun) the traditional Chinese calendar I mentioned. The restaurant I got at this at is marvelous (yummy yum yum) and I elected to crop myself out of the image-- wouldn't want to attract any stalkers, now, would we? Plus it was a crummy picture of me anyway. xp

Close-up of traditional Chinese calendar. Don't those two kids look cute? Don't you just want to pinch their chubby little cheeks and take them home with you? I sure do.



Now, the two posters of posterness I got are still safely in their shrink wrap but this is basically how they each look:

And that's that for now. Amazing how I can just babble on like this about nothing, isn't it? Later, everybody! blaugh

I actually found the perfect spot for the 2009 calendar of doom-- and I didn't even have to take down anything! Yay!! I realized (finally) that I could slip it into a corner below some other stuff, where it looks awesome and is out of the path of any direct sunlight that might fade its glorious glory. 3nodding

(Not that anyone really cares but I have nothing better to write about and I could use the extra gold from posting this comment. razz )

Is that Chinese calander the kind that's little strips of bamboo (or faux bamboo) that roll up into a scroll style? I love that kind.
