MARVELous Surprise!

So, last weekend my wife (my hero) and I finished giving our office a makeover. This may sound like no big deal to anyone who hadn't seen our office before the overhaul, but let me assure you it was pretty scary before we cleaned up and added new furniture. Anyway, when we were all finished, Barbara surprised me with some limited edition polystone fine art for my desk direct from Sideshow Collectibles - one of my favorite stores in the world. The additions came in two boxes. Marvel Comics fans will appreciate this. The first package I opened was a diorama of Wolverine and Kitty Pryde finishing off a Sentinel with Lockheed the dragon-like alien tagging along. The intensity of the scene was perfectly captured, and there were even two different versions of Wolverine (one in full costume and one that is more rugged without the mask and jumpsuit) in the box that I can swap out depending on my mood. I was freaking out!!! Here's a photo of the action-packed diorama on my desk:

Next, I opened up the second package. I could not have guessed what was hidden inside. I soon retrieved a scale bust of one of my favorite Marvel characters of all time - the Green Goblin! I grew up watching Spiderman cartoons at an early age. The Green Goblin was one of my favorite characters because he was just so freaky, colorful, and unpredictable. Barbara could not have known that this would be my favorite, but she guessed correctly. Now, the Green Goblin has a fitting home on my desk where I work like a mad scientist on multi-dimensional experiments. I keep him close where he stares back at me with his wild yellow eyes and menacing smile. Now that's inspiration for creativity! Check it out:

Obviously, life will never be the same in my little office again. So, I have to say it now for the record. My wife is the coolest woman in the world. You rock, Babs!!!
