alice...update

tonight was the royal premiere of alice in wonderland!

it was pouring cats and rabbits... and rain.

we got to stand next to tim burton and helena bonham carter.
i was able to meet her afterwards and give her a little white rabbit ♥
i totally stumbled over myself. i just totally adore her.
im so sorry i took a video but its insane & i just cant post it!
im babbling something like "i love you" its horrid. BUT
she was AMAZING in it. absolutely riveting and perfect.

and theeeeeen we saw alan rickman ♥
(and of course the rest of the cast... but.. alan rickman!) brilliant.

also. it was a royal premiere..
so the trumpets sounded and prince charles came in!
he sat a good 20 rows ahead of us.. i was dying to get
a look at him wearing 3-D glasses.. but alas. he never turned around.
i have to admit.. during the film
(which was stunning and redeems the story for me completely)
i just kept thinking.... "im watching a film with prince charles"
"hey, whats the prince of wales doing tonight?"
"oh, hes watching a film with me"

also.. one other cute thing,
when we were in the rest room
i was washing my hands and looked next to me
and there was anne hathaway standing there like a baton.
she was really really really lovely & we had a little chat ♥

i swear im not a star stalker! im not! see? no photos here..
but.. this was really special ... and im really thankful i got to go ♥

ps. look what my friend heather just found:
*clip* of us on the red carpet scurrying past
johnny depp.. giggling... like... idiots. (9 seconds in)

midlake & alice

we had the final midlake show on thursday.
i got to sing with them onstage for all 3 of the
london shows and it was more lovely than i can say.
i am sad to see them go back to america ♥

good news:
i just found out that we have tickets to the
london premiere of tim burton's *alice* on thursday!
we get to walk the red carpet in leicester square
with tim burton and johnny depp! i am so
excited i could completely freak out ♥
i have to fight the urge to wear an alice dress.

cedar needles & the little moose dearling

i am knitting a woodland cape-let with my cedar knitting needles.
i look at the branches while you read me fairy-tales.
♥ ♥ ♥
when little baby mooses are small they dont have antlers
im not sure what the plural of moose is... im sure its just moose.

but i will call them mooses anyway.
i dont want them getting gypped of a letter.
dont worry little dearling moose
you will have them soon.

deep black forest

i had a dream that the forest floor was covered in black velvet.
little beetles made their way this way and that.
a wise owl watched from a tree but let them be.
he turned his feather head
all
the
way
around.
