Batmania

I am looking forward to Dark Knight Rises.  It looks interesting and fun and dark.  However, I am not looking forward to hearing Christian Bale talk like he's eaten half a bag of rocks with a side of sandpaper. My partner in geekiness bought the tickets early, so we'll be catching an IMAX matinee.   We've seen every Superhero movie this summer, and I'm starting to think we're addicted to heroes and movies.

I had a wicked cool project planned, and then I met the fail whale. It was a learning experience, and I will not use contact paper for a stencil again.  Freezer paper is the way to go.  I've done shirt painting projects with it before, and it worked wonderfully.  The end result of the contact paper stencil is all right, but I don't think I'll wear it out in public.   It looks like I made it myself, and well, that ain't cool.

Instead I thought I'd share this really awesome project that a friend did for her home!

In the guest room, she painted Gotham City! Check it out!  I don't have any better photos of  the complete room, but it's still way cool!  Her twin girls love Batman, and the whole family dressed as Batman this past Halloween.  How awesome are they? I love these people.

Oh, and just in case you wondered, my favorite Batman is Adam West.  Corny, annoying, weird, campy Adam West Batman.  I watched it all the time growing up.  BANG!  POW!  ZIFF!



On a much more somber note, I want to say that I was deeply saddened by the tragedy  during the midnight premiere of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, CO. My heart goes out to the people affected  by this senseless crime. It's just awful.  I don't understand why someone would do this. It doesn't even seem real.

  

Until we meet again, Peace, Love, and Batman.
