Alice and the Two Queens

Here Alice serves as a comfortable pillow for the two queens. The conclusion of Through The Looking glass tomorrow.

The White Queen and Alice

The Red Queen's opposite number is the White Queen, who tells Alice to believe impossible things...

"When I was your age I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast..."

The figure I used above is one which survived the Berkeley Hills fire of 1991.

Note to Deadwood fans: Timothy Olyphant is apparently reprising his role as the sheriff on that series in a movie of FX tonight. NOBODY does grim man-of-law determination like Timothy Olyphant. The link is internal, to a post in my first month on blogger, I did six posts of Deadwood characters as superhero trading cards.

Impossible/The White Queen as the Thinker

The White Queen in Through the Looking Glass made it a rule to try to imagine impossible things before breakfast. Am I the only creative person who identifies with this woolly-brained creature (she is essentially the same character as the sheep who owns the peculiar shop)? Difficult to know which are the useful (inspirational) woolly thoughts and which are mere puffy clouds of distraction. And speaking of inspiration/distraction, I saw this post this morning on the fabric of meditation blog, which makes me want to start saving laundry lint again.
