So, its almost ten and Brittini and I are watching tv when I see an actor that looks familiar to me. So I check it out on IMDB and see he is going to be in a new Movie called Hatter. There is not much to the plot because its still in production but its characters names are.

Alice Allyson
Matt Hatter
Mark Hare
and Finally
Dor Mauz

Apparently its a thriller in which a journalist reveals the secrets of a hedonistic fashion designer.

I have no idea where they are going to go with this but it looks pretty funny, and I don't think that its suppose to be funny.

So I wrote my Cinderella Moral but I didn't have the book so I just made something up real quick during class. I will write something different that makes more since but I didn't really want to waste this one.

In this day of surgeons of plastic,
Doctors work magic for a hefty price
for any one willing to do something drastic.
while fairy Godmothers can afford only rice.

Beauty cannot be found in soul or heart
a nip and a touch a pull here and there
is no longer God's work of art
but for those who afford quality butt breasts or hair,

to fat to pale to blotchy to strange,
nothing a nice Brazilian butt lift can fix
but only if your paycheck can arrange
they'll alter you up without any Trix.

Any one can be a Cinderella or bell
without the help of Flora, Fona, or Marrywhether,
but with the services these fine doctors can sell,
they can make you tight and toned and soft as a feather.

Don't exercise or eat right,
or have self confidence in body or mind
The doctors will shape you a nice behind.
I finally finished all my Alices all of them, Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, and Alice in Sunderland. It went a lot faster then I thought it would and I enjoyed reading them more then I thought I would as well.

I also just finished the second book, The Subtle Knife, in the Dark Materials book and I think I know why Sexson picked these books. During class we have talked about what is a book, what is a child and what is nature. We talked about when a child becomes and adult and the changes in that person. These ideas are in everyone of the books that we have read in class. The entire Dark Materials book is about children becoming adults and the loss of innocence and how it ties to the fall of man. The name Sunderland has even come up a couple times in the Subtle Knife. It was crazy, it was about 3 in the morning and I am completely taken up by this book unable to put it down when everything starts to come together. All of the questions we have talked about in class start being asked in the book. I am also coming real close to understanding what Dust is. First I thought Dust was something good but now I am questioning whether it is or not.

And also I guess that the fact that as a Christian I would be a little biased on whether or not Dust is a good thing. I suppose I see dust as something that initiated the fall of man and I would see that as a bad thing so its strange to think of it being something good. I am conflicted as to whether or not I want Lord Asriel to complete his mission. At first I thought he was a good guy then all of a sudden he does something horrible and then people are on his side and trying to help him. I think that the Amber Spyglass will help answer a few questions but along the way I keep making random assumptions that keep getting shot down.
