When the Stroppy One asked if I wanted to get coffee this morning, at first I said no, I'll have a pot of tea at work. But as I was standing in front of the mirror applying my eyeliner, I realized that coffee was very desperately needed. Dear Lighthouse Coffee, I less-than-three you. Mmmm, double-tall Americano.

I am still working up to writing a review of the Tim Burton Alice In Wonderland. The very short form is this: it's very pretty. But the farther away I get from the viewing experience, the more dissatisfied with it I become. I am NOT planning on purchasing it when it is released for the home market. I will purchase the big art book instead, which will let me look at the pretty as much as I want without having to grit my teeth at the "plot".

As the Goth At The Office photo (coming later) will show, I am indeed wearing yet another military-style jacket. And my pink fingerless gloves with GOTH CAKE embroidered on them. They make me happy, and I suspect today is a day I am going to need all of the little amusements I can get.
---
Speaking of little amusements, my Keep Calm And Have A Cupcake (clicky-link!) journal arrived in the mail yesterday. I don't know what I'm going to use it for, but I had to have it. (I also really like the matching stationery (clicky-link!), but I am still dithering about ordering it.)

I hope you folks are having a good day. Anything exciting going on?

I find it interesting that I just made an icon of something similar for a friend (with a teapot instead of a cupcake or crown) and that this (http://community.livejournal.com/literarytattoos/760814.html) showed up on my friends page today.

Here are two pics- I don't sew and I only had a few days to come up with it, but you were an inspiration.

It does look like a rather pretty movie . . . I think I must go see it This weekend . . . if I get my pay deposited on time. I hope so. I might even dress up.
Dither no more, pretty stationary is always a good idea to write letters on. I vote get it!
As for interesting things happening in my life right now . . I am having the husband is making ribs for dinner! The snow is melting! (I hate being overly cold), the washing machine got replaced with one that works, and . . . I might have tea later!

And I know exactly what you mean with the Alice in Wonderland film. It was a feast for the eyes, but the plot was so...disney. "And now we all have learned something" indeed.
The art book is a good idea, I hope it will be available in Germany.

The movie plot is based on a young adult book called "The Looking Glass Wars" and not on Alice in Wonderland itself.

Was she promoting a new book? I have all the Vampire Mysteries books, but I didn't think the next one was out until May?

I like your military-style jackets. I just gave one away to a friend. I had bought it in an op-shop even though it was too small for me (as in I can put it on but not button it). She happens ot be a similar size as the jacket, and since I hardly wore it last winter I thought it should go live with her for this winter (we are in Oz so Autumn is just creeping up on us now). Now I hope the op-shop fairies deliver to me a military style jacket in my size for winter 2010.

I've been learning how to drive a manual transmission car (!!) the last few weeks & I am proud to say I hit the highway for the first time in the car and didn't kill a soul! (May have scared a few folks though)
