Tonight's random thoughts.... and Alysa Good Stuff Favorite Stuff
Sometimes I think I am in a bit of a wonderland with Alice in Wonderland Syndrome... yes there is such a thing. Many times I feel I am in a bit of a daydream or constant wondering and I know I need to draw or write, to redirect my focus. When I write my novels and children's books... you will know more what I mean when you see my strange creative thinking in stories. At times my wondering is imagining being what I am not that I almost feel or sense, like the Coyote I saw recently or the owl, what is it like, them seeing me? Many times I have felt during twilight hours an out of body out of reality sort of feeling... could this be this syndrome, as I also have suffered migrains, more rarely now. I am glad to know there is this name out there, to describe the uniqueness in people and how we think. As long as there are not other health problems, then I think it's fine for me.
The newer Alice in Wonderland by Tim Burton, my favorite over the Cartoon Disney Classic, is my Alysa Good Stuff top movie picks and 2 years in a row now I like to watch around Halloween, which I prefer to call Harvest day to avoid association with pagan rituals. If you haven't seen it yet? Watch it, it is a very good story and amazing graphics. You can buy it here to watch instantly
It was the first 3D movie I have seen in a theater. My man and I had a break from the kids and watched it when it first came out. My eyes hurt initially from the 3D visuals, but eventually I got used to it. I am a bit sensitive to 3D (some people are, be careful about this, especially with all the 3D stuff out there and video games as well, if you are pron to seizures). It was the best movie to watch in 3D I think and the graphics are very good. The actors are very good. Anyway, so when I got out of the 3D Alice in Wonderland movie, just like when I was a kid, everything looked small, and I felt tall. It was worse after watching 3D on the big screen, it took about an hour to adjust back to normal sight perception. Interesting I think, truly. Some good stuff I really want: a Mad Hatter collector doll still <--- good stuff, and a "Barbie" Collector Mad Hatter doll. Alice in Wonderland stuff for sale through Disney.
Random cheap fun tips: Watch the movie! Eat some popcorn and invite some good friends... it doesn't cost much to enjoy the company of friends. You could even theme a party around Alice and Wonderland and play the movie. I just might do it one of these days. If I do, I will post party ideas and tips on a budget of course.
Speaking of Alice in Wonderland, this is me on Harvest day 2011... my outfit done very budget friendly: heart dress was $2 from a thrift store, layered over a couple skirts from my wardrobe, $2 for hair extensions, and about $2 for a red glitter card stock paper (the crown I made). I also purchased, for only $6, flashing light heals new from a thrift store. The rest of the outfit from things I already had. My family "treated" (we don't like tricks) on a popular street in San Clemente, there were some spooky but highly decorated houses, and one even had a young girl and band called "Soph and the Ophs" not sure of the spelling, singing cover songs like "I love Rock in Roll". My favorite decorated house that decorates year after year like a scene from Pirates of the Caribbean (the movie and Disneyland ride). The house itself looks like an oversized doll house. Pirates of the Caribbean is also an Alysa Good Stuff favorite movie and Disneyland favorite ride, that I went on as a child with my grandparents- I was scared. :) I love TV and movie themed parties... this would be another great themed party and watch all the Pirate Caribbean movies. Rent and watch instantly... or buy.
Recently, for a book club my daughter and I read a great book called, "Ship Breaker" by Paolo Bacigalupi, 2010. At first with all the details about ship breaking, I was not sure I would get into the book. By chapter 2 and 3 I couldn't wait to know what was going to happen. This book is based in the US in the future, when oil is scarce and people are either in poverty or living in riches. There is also a sci-fi fantasy element to this story too with genetically engineered creatures that are made from human and animal DNA, Half-man, created to help and protect the wealthy as guards. About loyalty, friends, family and betrayal. Pick up this book and read it... hoping a movie will be made! What do you think movie makers out there? Ship Breaker in theaters... I love a good stuff movie! (PG 13- Parent's warning: Ship Breaker does contain some violence, drug references and curse words.) Buy the Ship Breaker novel used or new online.

Remember fun is not impossible even in hard times, it doesn't have to cost money.
Be creative, enjoy life, use what talents you have and live life to the fullest!
