I love the rain. It reminds me of home and makes me want to be cozy with a blanket and a book or a movie. Yesterday, it worked out great that our day was slow because I brought Coraline to watch with Boss Lady. I've been telling her about this movie for a long time. When my nephew watched it a year and a half ago (he was 9ish) it freaked him out. He kept questioning my sister when she wasn't being fun and asking (seriously, from what I heard) if she was his "other mother." How this movie is PG I have no clue.

When this movie came out, I had a short A-line bob hair cut, and my hair was so black it was blue. Of course I was stoked. I looked like Coraline. My friends boyfriend told me it was fitting because I'm a dark person and since the whole movie was creepy-scary (not dirty old man creepy) it complemented me.
While watching this movie with Boss Lady and Chaos (my coworker you haven't met yet) this tube Coraline crawls through traveling from the real world to the other world brought up some interesting ideas. As this tube illuminated and grew away from the door, I said, "Vagina." Initial reaction. I imagine that is what it might look like to a child passing through the birth canal, if they could see, and it probably isn't blue and purple. Boss Lady said, "Oh, I was thinking colon, but I can see what you mean." Then I asked, "Do you think that this is what it looks like, internally, as a penis gets hard?"
To me, this tube is kind of the worst part about the movie. I don't feel like it fits it in well with the feel of the movie, but at least it brought us entertainment and caused less than critical thinking.
I did not feel awake at all yesterday while coming up with these bad boys. Maybe it was my busy hobby filled weekend, the Halloween party I went to, and the fact that it was cold and raining when I got up to go to work (much like today, might I add), I barely felt creative enough to do them. I also feel sad. They are a symbol that my favorite holiday is here and about to be gone.
