curiouser and curiouser...


on monday we had a wonderland inspired day...
we started at alice's tea cup, and then walked to the imax to see 
"Alice and Wonderland"...

a few things:
alice's tea cup was great (the food, the tea, the dessert... fabulous!)  however, when we walked in we were seated in the back along with three new york city mothers and their daughters.  at first, they were all so cute with their party dresses and fairy wings.  however after an hour and a half of screaming, running, and crying... not so cute.  I usually never get annoyed with this sort of thing (they're kids, thats what they do) but this was different.  the waitresses had gone over to the table twice in the nicest manner asking the mothers to keep them seated at the table, and yet they did nothing. they just sat there and kept talking while their children disrupted and entire restaurant.  come on moms... really?

next, we walked to the imax for our scheduled 7:30 viewing...

1. dear lincoln center imax theater... why are you so confusing? why don't you have more staff on hand to direct people to their correct theater.  
2. dear man who tried to scalp us movie tickets... imax and 3D are not the same thing.  there was no need for the hostility.
3. dear people who must have been waiting online for hours... i wish i could have been in the imax theater with, but you took up all the tickets and instead we had front row seats to the 3D show.
4. dear front row seats... why do you exist? no one likes you. when i leave you i am in pain. please move to the back where you belong.  sorry for the bluntness, but its true.
5. dear person who brings a three year old to a screening of Alice in Wonderland and then leaves your child alone so they are crying in the middle of the movie "daddy" for 20 minutes... shame on you!

other than that i loved the movie (minus the dance scene?) 
helena bonham carter... you always amaze me!
