it's building ~

the anticipation - 
and we are preparing... because movies, especially those of tim burton, are serious business in these parts! 
we have our midnight tickets... 
and em has her hair... 

em's hair is of the eyes and smile which linger as the cat disappears... the teeth were tough, hair is not an easy canvas and i used fine paintbrushes at that...

sounds like a good morning to me!

things that bring me joy::

a grinning cheshire cat moon

'cheshire puss,' (alice) began, rather timidly, as she did not at all know whether it would be like the name: however it only grinned a little wider. come, it's pleased so far, thought alice, and she went on, 'would you tell me please, which way i ought to go from here?'

'that depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the cat.

'i don't much care where --,' said alice.

'then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the cat.

'-- so long as i get SOMEWHERE,' alice added as an explanation.

'oh, you're sure to do that,' said the cat, 'if only you walk long enough.'
