"Someone better start telling me something because I'm in the mood to stable heads."
As you can see, I changed backgrounds again. As much as I like pink, there is only so long I can endure nothing BUT pink. I still wanted something springy though, even though we just got hit with a blizzard here. (Not that I'm complaining since I didn't get a chance to build my snowman this winter. I'd be fine with a spring snowman.)
Sunday I wasn't feeling well so spent most of the morning curled up in bed. And, needing something to do which didn't require a lot of brain work, I finished reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
I never read all the Classic children's books as a child. I was too busy reading Historical Fiction, but lately I've picked up a few of the Classics - such as Peter Pan. And while I enjoy these whimsical stories, Alice kind of lost me.
I am sure everyone knows the story. Alice chases a rabbit down a rabbit hole and finds herself in a strange world where Mad Hatters have tea parties and the queen and her court are cards. A nonsense book, a kind of wild imagination story. And while I did like the story, very often it felt like it jumped too much. As if the author was writing something, got stuck, and made a wild leap to some other subject just to keep the story going.
Aside from that the story was fun. It really made no sense and is a nice way to pass a summer's day. A good book to read if you don't want a plot. And Alice wasn't overly annoying as I worried she would be. However, I think my favourite character would have to be the Chasmire Cat who liked to show up at random times for no reason whatsoever.
Quote is from...yeah, you guessed it. It is something Lassie says when Shawn and Gus are being elusive, and he is armed with a stapler. Not a wise move on their parts.
Allons-y!
