Time runs differently here

Oh look, it's been months since I updated this. This is what having a full-time job does to me.

Alice in popular culture sighting no. 108: My friend Grace did a recent photography shoot with an Alice theme for a competition.

Alice in popular culture sighting no. 109: A recent picture from I Can Has Cheezburger features the Disney version of the Cheshire cat.

Alice in popular culture sighting no. 110: A recent blog by Amanda Palmer talks about her high school theatre experiences. One play was "Alice", "an original piece that married different versions of “alice in wonderland” together, including jan svankmeyers. it was basically a play about drugs and death."

And now, various Twitter posts:

It's such a small world

Alice in popular culture sighting no. 46: In the inside front cover of the "author's preferred text" of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, there's a quote from the Minneapolis Star Tribune that describes the book as "A dark contemporary ALICE IN WONDERLAND... Imaginative, well-crafted [and] highly visual".

Alice in popular culture sighting no. 47: In his TED talk, back in February, about finding the true face of Leonardo Da Vinci, Siegried Woldhek shows portraits he's painted. He zooms in on three specific portraits, these are of Audrey Hepburn, Saddam Hussein, and Lewis Carroll. Carroll appears to be taking a picture of Alice Liddell.

Alice in popular culture sighting no. 48: I was bored the other day and started stumbling. The first page I came to was two pieces of Alice inspired art by Eva Soulu, apparently for an album entitled "Wonderland" by The Penultimate Truth.
