Hello my little Lilliputs.

Today's theme is fictional species from classic literature.

The last time I wrote, the new year had just started and I talked about not making as many bad mistakes. That hasn't gone too well, but not nearly as badly as it could be going. The real reason I'm writing to you big, burly Brobdingnags is I wanted post the Brick by Brick poster for all the world to see!



Gabe was kind enough to send it to me. Exciting, huh? I love the bloody letters dribbling down the yellow wallpaper, which may or may not be a reference to The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. It really captures the show's foreboding atmosphere. My only critique is that part of me wishes the poster hadn't focused on a specific character. The way I see it, everything in the show is based on the work of Edgar Allen Poe. As a result, the real star of the show is Poe himself. Still, Lenore is a very important character, and Leonard's relationship with her is the show's linchpin. I also like that it is the portrait of Lenore, since it is such an important set piece and is representative of Lenore's perpetual presence in the house as well as Leonard's mind.

Anyway, as you can see on the poster, the show's going up next weekend. We've got a killer cast, the set is rockin' and the music sounds great! See you all there!

Also, Happy Birthday to Emily "Oompa Loompa" Gouillart! I hear she's older now. Wiser too.

And yes, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory counts as classic literature.
