Some things:
-D. and I went to see Ani DiFranco at the 9:30 club Tuesday. It was my first time at the venue (which seems a little strange since we've been in the city over 5 years). I was really sleepy after the weekend. Really sleepy. We got there when doors opened to secure a good spot upstairs at the railing. Opening act was fine, not exactly my thing, but talented. Ani came on and I was thrilled. Sang along. Felt like she was on stage 10 minutes rather than an hour and a half. Loved the new stuff as well, looking forward to the new album. Then walking out I started yawning again. :)
-Gave a midterm this week. Next week is spring break and I have oh so much grading to do. Blah.
-Friday we went and saw Alice in Wonderland. Overall I enjoyed it. Visually impressive (duh). The plot hung together in a way that was satisfying, but isn't the illogical, wordplay, drug-trippy Alice you might be expecting. 3D was fine, not gratuitous, but I don't really care about it either. Major points for costume design. I liked that it was all about girls and women (even the punishment of the red queen felt very female). Appreciated the-girl-who-played-Alice's performance, as well as Helena Bonham Carter's, and Anne Hathaway's slightly unstable gothily-madeup white queen. Didn't quite get the Hatter's character, although points for makeup. Loved the visual of the Alice in the armor and the white queen in her dress heading off to battle. Great for the little girls, you can be the knight and the princess (although someone couldn't have given Alice a damn hair elastic. Didn't you just see the olympics? Did any of those women had their hair down during their events? Didn't think so.) Also, destiny = yuck, but fighting yay.
-Should I go to Vividcon? I am intrigued, but uncertain. I'm thinking about GAR this year, but ravenchase hasn't posted details so I don't know if there's a scheduling conflict. Are any of you going to Chicago?
-Have a headcold, left a curling rental early because of it. Feel congested and awful, but hope to get better soon. Oh and after almost spending a night on the snowy highway last week my mother mailed me a cell phone charger for the car :) and a purple phone case. I was told to "let the family know if I ever get over purple". :hearts:
-Remembered we pay for fancy channels. Am currently alternating between most recent seasons of Big Love and Secret Diary of a Call Girl. The similarities are pretty fun.
