Another picture of Oracle, taken on a different trip. The place just oozes the "I spend money and am therefore important" flavor of corporate arrogance.

Everything shimmied and wobbled,kept darting off in different directions,and for the first several weeks I had trouble telling where my body stopped and the rest of the world began.I bumped into wall sand trash bins,got tangled up in dog leashes and scraps of floating paper,stumbled on the smoothest sidewalks. I had lived in New York all my life,but I didn’t understand the streets and crowds anymore,and every time I went out on one of my little excursions,I felt like a man who had lost his way in a foreign city.

Wherein we get a fair introduction to Silver "Quiksilver" Tation, not so much for Nick Delaney, who is his frenemy.
Ever since the Batgirl Pullip was announced I planned on getting two, one to keep as Batgirl and one to turn into Oracle. For non-comic fans Oracle is who Barbara Gordon aka. Batgirl becomes after being crippled at the hands of the Joker in the Killing Joke.
As the Oracle, Barbara is indispensable to the superhero community as an information broker where she relies more on her keen intellect and computer skills to fight crime in an increasingly technological world. She eventually goes on to found the Birds of Prey crime fighting team with Dinah Lance aka. Black Canary.
During the recent DC relaunch Barbara Gordon regained her ability to walk in the comics (The Killing Joke still happened but she was eventually rehabilitated and able to walk again).
Questions

Imagine if God were a Magic 8 Ball
You could ask anything
Provided it’s a yes or no question
The answer could be vague
Or not to your satisfaction
Still
It’d be nice to get some answers
If only I could figure out
How to pose the questions
I’m chock full
Yet lost to verbalize them
And none of them are Yes/No
Why is beauty so important to us, to me?
Who created units of time
And how did we become enslaved to them?
What do I need to do
To cut through all pretenses
And experience what matters most?
Where are you?
(Please don’t tell me everywhere
I want to *see* you!)
Last but heaviest on my mind
When will all this madness end?
Too many questions
None of them Yes/No
Still
It’d be nice to get some answers
Even if to someone else’s questions

You know things are bad
When you consult the Magic 8 Ball for advice.
Even worse when your 8 ball is an asshole like mine.
See for yourself:
Will I quit my job?
– Definitely not
Will I ever make a living from art?
– Outlook not good
Will I ever sell a piece?
– Don’t count on it
Am I wasting my time?
– As I see it, yes
Is my art even any good?
– It could be seen as yes
Are you a #$^&*@%?
– Better not tell you now
I rest my case.
However, it’s not all bad.
When I asked if I was going to be ok
It replied YES.
