Awake
The headache didn't really dim until I laid down after work. (What did I say? Dark room with fuzzy kitties. Works quite well.) We ordered Indian in, since I didn't feel up to cooking, and we finally got around to watching Alice, the SyFy Channel miniseries version. I'm not sure what I think about SyFy getting a second miniseries right. I mean, their movies usually blow and suck all at once, but the Tin Man miniseries rocked my socks. The pacing on Alice was a bit odd, to say the least, and I wanted to (try to) smack the shit out of the main character for stupidity, but the minor characters -- and Hatter -- went a long way to saving the show. Gods, I love me some Hatter.
That said, though, I did see a lot of plot similarities between Alice and Tin Man. The (illegitimate) government is not to be trusted; the (female) ruler is heartless. The journey to save the realm. The fairytale land is revisited and has changed for the worst since the original book in question. And so on.
Even with all of that, though, I enjoyed Alice nearly as much as I enjoyed Tin Man. We'll see how it stands up to rewatching though.
As for today, though, I'm out of my bed. Shortly I will be getting up off the couch, getting dressed, having breakfast, and going to work. I'll see how I make it through the day.
Still waiting on my tax return. It should be here sometime between now and February 1st. The IRS site says it should arrive by January 31st. My tax return plans include:
*Going to the eye doctor for new contacts (at last)
*Taking Aya to the vet for the lump in her mouth
*Renewing the tags on my car
*Maybe getting a new purse and wallet from Vera Bradley (I've found a new color I'm mad for) but this depends on the previous 3 things
And now to get up and get ready for work. Later, folks.
