Why is it an unbirthday you ask (but most likely not)?
Because dear snarklings, I didn't get a chance to bake Lewis Carrolls' cake yesterday and birthdays only come when CAEK is present. So, it held off pouting in the corner until today when I was able to coax said day with strawberry cake and pink icing and rainbow sprinkles. May your 177th birthday be Jaberwocky free dear Charles!

As you can very well see I finally got my lazy arse to put up more artwork. Just I recently got a note (ooh, fanmail!...no, wait-!) about my doing practically nothing but fanwork. I must admit I don't see what the problem is that people have with it. I'm really only drawing at this point for fun and practice, so why not depict something I find engaging hmmm?

I finally decided to do one of those things from your journal Nadir.

RULES:
1. Put your music player on shuffle.
2. Press forward for each question.

I'll show you when god

WHAT IS YOUR PERSONALITY LIKE?
"The Man That Knew Too Much", Silverchair

Here's to hoping I suffer from amnesia, because apparently I know too much for my own good. Would you agree?

Okay, so I've been coming to terms with the fact that Tim Burton is going to be making an adaptation of Charles' greatest work Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. One would think, given how I love Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands, his art, and Alice, this would be an excellent development. Wrong. Everyt time Mr. Burton discovers some relatively obscure story that has lost popularity in recent times, he, well, Burtonizes it. Suddenly everyone and their grandmother loves that story. Is obsessed with that story. Has always adored it, how can you question their loyalty to it they love it they love it more than you ever did theyknoweverythingaboutititmakestheirLIFEUAAAAAAAAAA! Cue rabid fan mouth foam. Then they forget all about it in six months. This is going to happen to poor Alice.

Now, considering the circumstances, I think I've handled it pretty well. However, I have just learned that Jude-nannysleepingwith-Law and Robert Downey Jr will be in an adaptation of Sherlock Holmes in 2010. Don't get me wrong, Robert Downey Jr is a versatile and talented actor. But is he right to play Holmes? And Jude Law playing Watson pretty much screams impending EPIC FAIL. I just don't want to see the film botched. I'm actually pretty fucking terrified it will be. Satan help us if we end up with another Nigel Bruce-style fiasco in the public perception of Watson for another 50 years.
Plus, there's the whole burst of fandom that will be completely miss the point of the original work, be horribly off in its portrayal, and sputter and die within a matter of weeks.*

Oh, and the fuck you cherry on this shit sundae: rumors of Johnny Depp as, guess who? The Riddler himself in the next Dark Knight movie. One of my favorite actors playing one of my favorite characters, only to suffer the fandom curse.

Just had to put this out there because I don't think I've dreaded the release of a movie this much since Sweeny Todd.

*See Gerard Butler's performance as The Phantom for a very blatant example of this

So, once again...I am scanner-less. Alas, I can only update with iphone pictures that so generously provided. I promise, as soon as I humanly, inhumanly, undeadly, possibly can, I will get better quality takes of these rather slipshod productions and add even more lovely trash to my gallery.
