so, this weekend was pretty wonderful.
friday night, we went to see alice in wonderland. i've wanted to see this movie from the time i heard it was coming out. but i wasn't expecting a whole lot because i hadn't heard great reviews and i knew it wasn't a remake of the book, but a continuation of the story (and really, how do you continue a story written by a guy like lewis carroll and do it well?). however, whatever critics were saying it wasn't so great didn't really watch the movie.
it was a beautifully made movie with a really amazing story.
i'll have to post more about it later, but my favorite line of the whole movie was by the mad hatter (played exceptionally well by johnny depp):
"you've lost your muchness. in there. you're less muchier than you were before."
on saturday, i went to see a play that i've wanted to see for ages:
i saw one of the musical numbers at the macy's parade or the tony awards or something like that when it first started a couple of years ago. i normally would not have gone, because i didn't have anyone to go with, but i decided i was going to go anyway. so i did. by myself.
and i'm so glad i did.
it's a play about home, discovering yourself and your roots, learning, family (both blood and otherwise), growing up and so much more. i loved every second of it. there's a lot i could say about it, and i may in the next few days, but it spoke so much to my heart right now (so did alice, for that matter).
i literally sat through almost the entire second act of the play in tears.
in tears, y'all.
luckily, there weren't any people around me at all.
so, more to come on both of these shows i saw this weekend, but all in all it was a good weekend :)
