Wicked, Fi, Aymie & Cass, I just barely saw your comments today.  <3 you girls!

Anywhoozle…

I took Thing 1 & Thing 2 to watch Alice In Wonderland this weekend.  Let me just tell you, it was amazing. 

I’m a huge fan of the original.  I remember watching it as a kid and being completely entranced by the bizarre aspect of it all.  It wasn’t so much Alice’s journey throughout the movie; it was the characters and their stories that drew me in and took me away.  It was all so amazingly odd…the dog with a broom for whiskers and a tail, the little foghorn ducks, the scary talking flowers…so judgy! 

But I think my favorite character, well, no, not favorite because that would be the Red Queen…what can I say, I relate with her the most…jajjaja…

Anyway, as I was saying, the character that had the most impact on me was the Caterpillar.  I can almost trace back my love for words to that one scene in the movie where he begins to speak…or maybe it was the hookah that drew me in     Just the simple enunciation of “Whoooo aaarrrre youuuuuu” did me in.

I love this movie for the oddness of it all.  It gives me a certain comfort.  Maybe it’s the missing Prince Charming and Alice not having to be rescued by him.  Maybe it’s just the plain and simple fact the impossible is only held within a realm that we create ourselves and if  we dream and imagine just enough, we can let reality melt and fantasy take us away.

le sigh…

I leave you with one of my favorite songs of all time… White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane
