He needs Alice and her 'Drink Me' potions.

Is it drink me or eat me that makes Alice grow?


Can't remember, but he'd better get it right.

Did CB really want us to watch this one? I wouldn't think it was his sort of film.
Great stuff.

Compost! It was a bit more magical than that. Well, it is in the book. The film slightly dumbed down the "explanation" at the end.

What, like Wordsworth's* 'A slumber did my spirit seal'?

A slumber did my spirit seal;
I had no human fears:
She seemed a thing that could not feel
The touch of earthly years.
No motion has she now, no force;
She neither hears nor sees;
Rolled round in earth's diurnal course,
With rocks, and stones, and trees.


Compost, see?
*Did him at college. He lived just up the road from here, btw.

Here's an image: just made my dad a cup of tea. I put a saccharin in and it landed on the teabag. I watched it slowly melt away into nothingness...

More compost....eventually! We are what we eat.
Nice to know you made him a cuppa, though. Wouldn't have thought it of you.

Don't really mind. Give yourself a day or two to get over the spider and then decide.
