Lewis Carrol was an awesome author. We've got about 80 pages left in our double feature. H realized the impeccable timing of reading these two stories tonight when she found out Alice was seven-and-a-half. The truth is, I honestly didn't know myself.
We have also had several discussions about how movies don't always follow the book. A seven-and-a-half year old can handle these truths quite well.
So no, Tim Burton didn't exactly follow the book. Yes, we have two wonderful storylines to follow now. Different people have different interpretations of how stories should occur and yes, Daddy now has to wear reading glasses because he stares at screens too long...
Taken a little bit of relaxation in on the couch after a very hectic day. Got lots to do and so little time. LOTS! Anyway I will fill you all in later. Don't expect too much dialog in the next week or two, but I will catch up with you all as much as I can.

Got some practice in this evening on the strings. I heard Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here and just had to learn the intro. Should be just a matter of picking up the chord progression and I'll have the song.
My other song of the night was Fade to Black by Metallica. I'm not exactly sure a Kirk Hammet guitar solo is a realistic target right now. hehe.
I think it may be time for one of these things: http://www.accurate-edge.com/gripmastergripexerciser.aspx . I really like the guitar and would practice all the time, but my left fingers are all over the place, trying to reach some of the frets.
I am having fun with it. That's all I ever really wanted. Rockstar is not exactly my ideal title anyway. I just listen to my favorite tunes and look em up on http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/ .
In the "Cuz you gotta have a hobby" category, I've been working on a customized desktop theme now that the dust has settled from Ubuntu 10.04. Here's a screencap from a tool I found called Shutter, It really is a pretty awesome operating system. I've tried other distros, but I keep coming back to it.
Houston, San Antonio, Houston, San Antonio... Spend my weekends bouncing between the two lately. One of these days, I might actually take some photos from the Riverwalk or The Alamo, or somethin. This trip's highlights: The kids are quickly getting rounded up for the fourth, Toby made the trip with us in the truck, and I got some more sun. Cool stuff!
I officially declare this drink awesome! Everybody vote for the white Mtn Dew, cuz it'll make me very happy to find this everywhere. I've only found it in 2 gas stations down here so far, but it kind of reminds me of "5 Alive" from when I was a kid. Cool stuff.
So, I tried to send this via my phone earlier, but I think the messaging gateway on VZ is trashed. Unless anyone else is having trouble, I'll blame them for a change. lol
Gonna spend the weekend with my girlfriend. Maybe I'll convince her to step in a few shots on here. :)
Well, gonna jet. Talk to y'all soon!
Had a great time in San Antonio yesterday. It was a Texas summer day, so it was hot, but that wasn't entirely due to the sun, either. :)
I haven't been this happy in a long time. There's someone making me smile again.
In other news, I am ready to leave a certain book of faces, I think. Too much complication with the privacy policies.
