Behind the mirror
Feb. 24th, 2009 09:38 pmYesterday morning I saw a morepork on my way to catch the bus so I could go to the gym before work. I could have reached out and touched it if I wanted a bleeding hand. After a bit, I said "Hello." and a bit after that, it silently flew away. It didn't seem afraid of me at all. That was rather cool.
I have recently obtained a game called American McGee's Alice and it's just my sort of creepy. It's based off Alice in Wonderland, which I reread recently to see if I liked it now because I didn't when I was a kid (I don't). The game, on the other hand, is lots of fun. Challenging, because it's been a very long time since I played any game that requires both hands and use of the mouse and the keyboard at the same time. There are coordination issues. It's rather macabre, but I like it.
Also on the Wonderland theme, I recently found a fic I've been after for a couple of years in which Giles ends up in Looking Glass Land. It's not as macabre as the game, but it's certainly more lethal than Through the Looking Glass. And there are cats. The formatting is a pain, but it's All Mimsy Were The Borogoves should you wish to read it.
