getting critical

"The time has come," the Walrus said,

"To talk of many things;

Of shoes-- and ships-- and sealing wax--

Of cabbages-- kings--

And why the sea is boiling hot--

And whether pigs have wings."

i watched Alice in Wonderland last night and found it delightful.  i'm going to dedicate this space and writing to do a bit of critical analysis of the movie, Lewis Carroll and the political contexts of both the original work and the disney film.  this is a pure indulgence, but, in part, the point of having the blog is to practice my writing and sharpen different modes of thinking.  i haven't done any kind of critical writing in awhile.  should be fun and it will give me something focused to research.
