Ok, enough of that serious stuff. Look, pictures!

Here I am being all stripey:





Excuse the no makeup and messy wet hair, I was fresh out of the shower.

The other day I was eating some apples and peanut butter while Jhay was cleaning up in the other room. A commercial came on that said "this weekend is your last chance to see Coraline in 3-d." Even though he was in another room and my mouth was full, he knew that I shot him a panicked look. "Don't worry, we'll go see it." he shouted. So today we did.

See? 3-D glasses.



That's the snow from outside reflecting in mine.

The movie was good. (For the record, everything is better in 3-d. It was like looking through those old skool viewmasters.) I read the book and really had to try not to freak out with things were different. Like when they invented a supporting character! Or that the family was now from Michigan instead of England. But the handmade animation was cool. It was a nice mix between the Nightmare Before Christmas, the Others, and Beetlejuice. It was creepy enough to be entertaining, but a kid could still watch it. I recommend it.

I was pondering doing a Coraline set. With the right amount of planning, I think I could pull it off. There are already some ideas floating around in my head. (ps - please don't steal that theme unless you can really rock it.)

ps - don't forget about good old Prop Master!
