So why am I writing this?

[smokingboot]

Because I have just read november_girl's post and it makes me feel bright.

Because I have just eradicated an enormous piece of codswallop from the piece I am writing. New inspiration is not flowing yet, but at least I can edit.

Because last night I saw Spirited Away, and loved it.

Here's to proper fairy tales!

Darling girl, you are bright enough that there are some days when I must shield my eyes to look northwards.

Spirited away is teh roxor, other animations by the same chap are also pretty darn funky,

Princess mononoke,
Castle in the Sky,
Keiko's delivery service,

are all top fun, soon I shall have a copy of Grave of the Fireflies.
More news at 11.

But who is this chap? I heard this was a Disney production, though I find that hard to believe.

He is Hayao Miyazaki

And disney can go and fish for all they had to do with the making of the film.

Thank you for the link. Very interesting!

Also, greatly relieved about the lack of Disney involvement. It really didn't seem like their bag to me.

Not enough facist slogans or belittling of minority groups.

Far too many drugs.

Certainly is. Straight into my top 10 for no better reason than my emotional age of 8 and a bit (Oh, OK, and my love of great stories)

Would like to talk to you about runes at some point if poss...
