Sooner than you think...

Or at least that's what I like to tell myself. Halloween, that is. Yes, it's technically still 3 months away, but that doesn't matter to me. I hear the craft stores already have Christmas stuff out, so chances are good that the Halloween stuff is out as well. (No, I haven't been to the craft stores in a while now. Shocking, I know!)

I haven't a clue yet what I'm doing for Halloween, costume-wise or other. I think Katie might borrow my America McGee's Alice costume, which is good, because it means I can (and should) make myself something new. What that will be, however, remains to be seen. If you've got any suggestions, let me hear them. I think about the only thing I've pondered in the slightest would be a Harley Quinn costume, but I've been pondering that for a LONG time, and have never gotten anywhere with it...

I'm just excited that Halloween is a Saturday, which means there COULD be something going on that night, and I can dress up. :) Anyway, I think I like thinking ahead to Halloween right now because by October, it should be a lot cooler. Right? :)

I might be becoming obsessed...

So I've always been a fan of Alice in Wonderland, all the way back to the cartoon version when I was a kid. I'm also very sure that I've read the book at least once. And, of course, there was that one time when I was Alice, at least the version from America McGee's video game. (Actually, I've worn the costume twice now. :) )

Yesterday, Jerome told me that he had found a version of Alice in Wonderland with Martin Short playing the Mad Hatter, and it was on our On Demand cable thingie. So I could watch it if I wanted to. I asked him who else was in it, and he listed off a pretty impressive cast list. I asked him who was playing Alice. He didn't know.


At any rate, after getting home from work and going out in the rainsnowyuck (that's a technical term), I decided I might as well watch it while I worked on some other stuff. Well, as it turns out, this made-for-TV version is amazing, and so I watched it pretty intently (though I do still need to go back and watch the end... meaning I'll probably just re-watch it tonight...). And, as it turns out, Alice is played by Tina Majorino... a.k.a. Deb from Napoleon Dynamite. :)

And, of course, the reason I didn't watch the end yet is because Jerome had an alarm set on the TV to tell him that the Sarah Connor Chronicles was going to be on in two minutes. Summer Glau (a.k.a. River from Firefly/Serenity) is in that. We immediately changed channels. :) (The show is atrocious. Summer is hot. :) )

(As an aside, I should point out that I'm not sure what to think about the fact that they're making a movie version of America McGee's Alice, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. I'm a little bothered by it, though, because I don't like her. Though that dislike is for no apparent reason. Other than she's not Kristy Swanson.)
