Ranting & raving is something I do periodically on this blog. Look for the “rants and raves” category for past rants and raves.
I love illustrations for Alice In Wonderland. I remembered a livejournal community I used to watch (storybookalice) and spent some time happily looking at pretty pictures today. Wonderous whimsy.
