Alice's Adventures in Wonderland phase I

I've finished AA and have moved on to "Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There". I had no idea how 'together' the two books were. I had long known of Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee, but did you know they don't make an appearance until book 2? And how about the Walrus and the Carpenter? Book 2 again!

I'm quite intrigued to play American McGee's Alice now. I can pick it up for under $10 at Future Shop in town, or at Electronic Boutique in the mall. I may have to do that. And the live-action movie of Alice remade in the late 90s as well, I've got to make time to watch that. I've had it for months but never looked at it.

Lab monitoring in the school's library Information Commons area, trying to find something useful to do. People speaking to me from across the desk, they are standing at the printer, I'm on the other side at my computer. The printer is acting up, forgetting print-jobs, etc. I'm trying to entertain myself, I've got 'The Annotated Alice' hardcover beside me. I'm half done that, I could finish the other half before I get out of here at 5. No, I've got two midterms this week. One tomorrow, another the day after.

The students are looking at the printer with an inquisitive kink in their neck. Like a bird trying to look straight up, it has to turn it's head 90* to the left or right so its eye is pointed in the right direction. A printer is out of paper, I get up to refill the tray. Something to do, I got my excercise.

-Someone complains they've printed twice and there's nothing happening... yet
