This is one of my favorite AMVs ever, and I finally found a copy of it on Youtube. I find it very . . . soothing. Video is from Miyazaki's film version of Howl's Moving Castle -- a book I'd read and enjoyed when I was in 5th grade. Like with most of Miyazaki's work, the visuals are lovely, and the Kate Rusby song is. . .perfect. Enjoy!

I had an awesome dream last night. I was gonna write about it in detail, but . . .I dunno. . . He was there, and it's been quite a while since I last saw Him, well, that vividly. Naturally, He was the reason everything was so . . . *sigh* . . . nice. . . We were on the battlements of a castle, and Babylonian(!?) armies were in the trees of the ( Read more... )

Now, as you may know, LA is my little brother's site that he's been running and evolving for several years now, and they've taken it up a notch ( Read more... )

So, a coupla weeks ago, I had this really great dream that when we showed up at Balticon, the Anime room was already set up and all we had to do was put in a DVD and press play.

Last night, I dreamt that I was so tired when I got to Baltimore that I never made it to the room, passing our in my bed at the hotel, and Chibi had to come down from New ( Read more... )

So last night, I read James Patterson's Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment, the first of a series of books for the younger crowd that he's started. And for all that the chapters were annoyingly short, it was a great story, and I'm definately looking forward to more. Unlike certain other "kids authors", Patterson pulls no punches-- like when the ( Read more... )

Today is one of those days when the song lyrics stuck in my head have absolutely nothing to do with anything I'm thinking or feeling or . . . anything. . .

and I think it kinda sad
the dreams in which I'm dying
