And so I turn to inks.
Ponyo and Sosuke would like you to click the link to the cut, eh eh!
PONYO IS AMAZING.
That movie was so adorable.
AND WONDERWOMAN Though her proportions are ALL sorts of wonky, I swear.
AND THEN LIKE, MER-MANATEES AND PONYO AGAIN. On my stress management notes. (As a kid, I was always worried about HOW sailors could mistake manatees for mermaids, and decided that there must be some manatee out there with a cleft fin, for sanity's sake. Of course there isn't. But somehow my subconsious mind dredged this up in the midst of some hardcore note taking!
MMMM internally manufactured antigens!
I've been watching a bit of Ponyo lately. Fujimoto is an absolute dear. Also, watching Miyazaki after I study absolutely horrible subjects tends to uplift me a bit.
SCENE: MY DORM. TYPICAL FRIDAY NIGHT:
ME: Oh god. Oh god this is terrible. Nothing is working out and this is terrible and people are suffering everywhere and--
MIYAZAKI FILM: LOOK. LOOK AT ME.
ME: I can't! I mustn't!
MIYAZAKI FILM: BUT I BRING YOU MOMENTARY WONDER, BABY.
ME: But despair! I must wallow in it!
MIYAZAKI FILM: TOO LATE YOU ALREADY PLACED NAUSICAA IN THE DVD PLAYER AW YEAH NAUSICAA.
ME: How did--I don't even.... oooooh, airships....
It doesn't prevent me from doing anything productive--it just helps bring me back to a state of mind where I can constructively tackle a problem rather than flail about amongst my books in academic misery.
Women's Studies can do this to a person. It really can.
