The Australian Ballet is doing Alice in Wonderland again and on one hand Iโ€™ve seen it before, and on the other, their Queen of Hearts has my favourite costume in anything every

Itโ€™s just this and her court pushes her around the stage on wheels and every act it gets taller until she towers over everyone

Also in act 3 (I think) it swings open at the front and her husband is sitting inside reading a newspaper

I saw this again on Tuesday so here are some things Iโ€™d forgotten about:

  • This is the only Alice adaptation Iโ€™ve ever seen that doesnโ€™t cut the caucus race
  • The mad hatter wears taps throughout and itโ€™s so jarring and surprising itโ€™s perfect
  • The executioner shadows almost everyone who dances with the Queen
  • Lewis Carroll is a character in the ballet and becomes the white rabbit who leads Alice into wonderland which is bad and wrong because Carroll is the dodo but does work very well
  • They started dropping rose petals from the ceiling onto the audience when Alice looked through the door to the garden and it was utterly magic
  • The Cheshire Cat is made of about 10 different puppets that dance around the stage
  • Which reminds me Alice is styled after Alice Liddell rather than the John Tenniel illustrations
  • I donโ€™t think the king of hearts actually dances he just wanders around looking confused

Finally an adaptation that makes feel like Iโ€™m going to have stroke, itโ€™s perfect

This looks fucking bonkers, I love it.

we went to bed at 6pm last night and whenever i woke up my brain would try to slowly reconstruct the phrasing and imagery of McDonald's Honey Bustard Pickled Sea fuck meal and as soon as id get it right i would fall back asleep happened about a dozen times

hey when you make posts, i just want you to know, thou/thee/thy/thine/ye are like he/you(object)/your/yours/you(subject) okay? "thou art wearing shoes," "i will wear shoes for thee," okay?

you say thine if the next word starts with a vowel and thy if the next word starts with a consonant and they both mean "your" so "thine own shoes," "thy shoes," okay?

and ye means you and refers to the subject of a sentence, "ye members of the brotherhood of shoes," okay? you need this information to create better knight yaoi. i'm personally more interested in nun yuri but we are a community

i had a dream i worked in an underwater restaurant and people kept ordering ice in their drinks and then getting mad at me when it would float away. and iโ€™d tell them beforehand that the ice would float away & theyโ€™d be like lol no thatโ€™s not how it works just give me the ice. Iโ€™m fighting customer service battles never seen before

Me a week before Pesach: give me the matzah and eggs and potatoes and white fish salad GIVE IT TO MEEEEEE

Me on the second day of Pesach: oh man, eggs again? Whenโ€™s Pesach over? I want beans

coffee shop by my house hired a new barista who is extraordinarily hot and flirts with me incessantly but she also makes the worst - and i truly mean the worst - coffee iโ€™ve ever paid for. atrociously bad. just another of godโ€™s little jokes

just remembered the barista who worked there last year and treated me with an attitude generally reserved for children and the incompetent to the point where she would frequently adjust my drink order in front of me and every single time it was BANGINโ€™

Iโ€™m watching Splash (1984) which is a romcom about a guy who falls in love with a mermaid, and when she chooses a human name she chooses Madison and guy says โ€œthatโ€™s not a real name, but alrightโ€ which seems to imply that Madison was not a name until at least the 80โ€™s and all girls named Madison are actually named after the mermaid. thought you should know

I think...you might be right

what the fuck
