I have some very distressing news (depending on how you look at things). After my personal hyperfixation-dedicated post last month, I decided to do a little digging through our blog history, only to see if I hadn’t just put myself in a club of one, and it has come to my attention that no one on our blogging squad has ever tackled the absolute goldmine that is Alice in Wonderland-associated media. For shame! Of course, everyone’s entitled to their own little slice of hyperfixation, and among our staff, we have plenty, but… I mean… Alice in Wonderland is arguably one of the most classic™ of Classic Literature. It’s been around for years, and it doesn’t find a place in the hallowed halls of timeless books without it being worthy of being talked about, so color me a little shook-eth. But as someone once said, “If you want something done, do it yourself.” So, get ready for hyperfixation post part deux. Let me take your hand and guide you through the weird, wide world of Wonderland-inspired books, manga, and movies. Buckle in, because our options are bigger than one giant “Eat Me” cake.

I’m lying. Completely and utterly. I am not chill. I am so excited I am vibrating. And I’m most definitely not the only one. If you thought the city lost it’s mind over Taylor Swift coming get ready to be awash in purple and red, at least over that weekend if not longer.

It’s My Birthday (No, Really)

Well… I feel like this was bound to happen eventually. As I like to quote, “time is a weird soup.” And not to toot my own horn or anything, but since we’re all here, what better time to invite you all to a pseudo-online birthday party of which I have just planned and decided on? Of course, a lady never reveals her age or something like that, but maybe, if you put on your party detective hats, my birthday party picks will give you some useful clues.
