Here's an alternate shot that I kind of liked:

It's January and Self Portrait Challenge is again looking back at the new themes from 2011 and combining two or more of them into a new self portrait for this month.

 For now, I'm sticking primarily with some leftover ideas for December's theme, "Idioms."

 Namely,

 Balance the Books - to determine through bookkeeping that financial accounts are in balance.

vs.

Cook the Books - to falsify a company's financial records.

 Besides the obvious Idioms, I'm saying that it qualifies for Literature.

Tiny Words works, I suppose.

The top image is Defying Gravity in a way.

Again with the top image, I'm saying that the Beatles Song, "Carry That Weight" works (or "Sure to Fall"). Surely there's a Beatles Song for the bottom image: "Happiness is a Warm Gun Book??" // "In Spite of all the Danger?"

Final entry for 'Idioms' from December's theme.




Cut to the chase - Get to the point

Cut to the quick - Cause someone deep emotional hurt


January's theme is 'Flashback 2011' (combining 2 or more themes from the previous year) and has officially begun, but I'm still recovering from Christmas break.  Hopefully, I'll get one up before the end of the week.

Why was six scared of seven?
 

 Because seven ate nine.

 At sixes and sevens -- in a state of total confusion or disarray.

 On cloud nine -- in a state of blissful happiness.

SPC - Idioms - #2

 Behind The Eight Ball - In trouble or an awkward position, out of luck

 On The Ball - to be especially capable or efficient

 Not quite as diametrically opposed as last week's, but still, one meaning an adventageous position and the other meaning a dire position. I guess it just depends on where one is in relation to the ball.
