Major Arcana.


I feel so sleepy! You know on some days when you feel like you practically owe it to yourself to sleep, and yet you can't, because you still have work to do?!

Damn.
Oh, and since I'm here, I'll just talk about this picture. It's from the cover of Major Arcana by Dave McKean. I don't know what a Major Arcana is, my guess is that it's a book of some sort, but whatever.
I like this picture SO much! I don't really know why, but it has a nice feel to it. Sort of a masquerade-ish type, don't you think? And it's so surreal. That's the keyword.
Surreal.
Exactly how I feel.

Miss you.

Alice in Wonderland!

Tim Burton is directing an adaptation of Alice in Wonderland!

Note that I said ADAPTATION, not REMAKE.
Apparently, it won't be like the original one. Here's a brief storyline; Alice, 17, runs off following the White Rabbit, and ends up in Wonderland, a place she's been in 10 yaers ago. She doesn't remember it very much. At this point, the Red Queen has overthrown the White Queen, and the creatures of Wonderland are ready to revolt. With the help of the White Queen, the Mad Hatter, and the Caterpillar, Alice starts remembering her initial visit to Wonderland.

And guess what? The Mad Hatter is Alice's love interest! This is so fan fiction-ish. But I wouldn't mind having the hatter for myself *koff*

Picture Tim Burton's genius and the awesomeness of Alice in Wonderland put together! *faints*


Anyway, I've Googled it quite a bit, and here are the first few pictures.

Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. Its him, seriously. No doubt he's gonna be amazing. Not to mention hot.



Helena Bonham Carter as The Red Queen, who seems to be a combination of the Queen of Hearts from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and The Red Queen from Through the Looking-glass. She's amazing too! I always seem to wonder why Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp always seem to be in the same movies, though.




This is Alice. She's some Australian actress that I don't know of, so I don't really care *winces*


The White Queen is Anne Hathaway. My brother absolutely adores her, but I don't really like her very much myself. She seems a little...two dimensional.
This storyline is reminiscent to that of the American McGee's Alice. Its a PC game, if you haven't heard of it. Its sort of a macabre retelling of Alice in Wonderland.

All the pretty horses

All the pretty horses
Hush-a-bye don't you cry
Go to sleep-y little baby.

When you wake you'll have cake
And all the pretty little horses.
Blacks and bays, dapples and grays,
A coach and six white horses.
Hush-a-bye don't you cry,
Go to sleep-y, little baby.

I don't love you like I did yesterday.


(I'm currently sorta addicted to this song, since my brother keeps listening to it.)

You know what?

I have this idea! I'm gonna post pictures to express how I feel. After all, a picture paints a thousand words. Or something like that. I guess I'll write, occassionally, but pictures are the key here now. =)

Today

I am waiting for you to do the right thing, and you disappoint me all the time.
But you know what?
I just can't walk away.
