So, not to continue on and on with The Hedgehog's Dilemma from a few posts ago (here), but I snooped around Milk's deviantART gallery (here) and found a drawing he did (I forgot about) that directly relates to my dilemma.
Also, just because it's adorable.In other news, not much is happening. We're moving soon. Again. AGAIN. This time across the state. I think this move will finally suit all parties (till we decide to be awesome and flee to Canada).
A List!
A Rundown of The Recent Netflix Queue.
- All the Hayao Miyazaki movies in the world (maybe not Alllll... but some!)
----Sprited Away (absolutely my favorite. There was such a wide range of adorably awesome - from the soot sprites, to No Face, to the overly happy mouse and fly, to the three heads of amazing. It had a great story wrapped up in imagery and imagination I find myself thinking about far too often for it to only be a cartoon) 5 hugs.
----Pom Poko (the most recent viewed, very cute Raccoons with magic testicles that can shape shift. The entire plot is centered around the raccoons being driven out of their forest by humans. So, in order to get their forest back, they begin to shape shift into goblins, humans, ghosts, etc to scare the humans away) 3 hugs
----Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (it was good, but definitely not my favorite. It was a movie centered widely on environment and conservation, umm... but also about giant robot killing machines. So I'm kind of torn) 4 hugs
----Princess Mononoke (it was very weird and gross with all the leaches and boars, but still a very good story. It was one that I felt like I would have liked more if I knew more about Japanese myths and spirits, or if I was raised in that culture) 3 hugs
----My Neighbor Totoro (so far one of my favorite Miyazaki films, super adorable. Milk seems to see similarities in me and Mei. I'm okay with that. It's such a heartfelt movie that I thought ended too soon. Let alone the sheer awesome of a giant whatchamacall it, but there was also a CAT BUS!) 4.5 hugs
----Howl's Moving Castle (my second favorite Miyazaki film to date. I loved everything about Calcifer - with the American version voiced by Billy Crystal -, Sophie, and the poor scarecrow man. It was a great plot with some fantastic artwork in the midst of a fated love story) 5 hugs
- We just recently finished up the Doctor Who Key to Time special via Netflix as well. It took a while, but I'm happy with the outcome. Classic Tom Baker episodes. The specials were my first contact with Romana, and I have to say, I enjoy her. I'm not looking forward to Lalla Ward's turn at her yet; I still like Mary Tamm. In other Doctor Who news: really excited about the Easter Special airing on BBC tomorrow night. I hope, by the power of the internet, that we get it shortly after it airs. 5 hugs
- I'm so excited to begin watching Spaced. We've had it on the queue for an insanely long amount of time till they became available to us. Two episodes in and I know I love it. Oh, Simon Pegg. 4 hugs
- Feast III. Oh. My. God. What a freaking movie. We've followed the trilogy so far, due to the amount of awesome, the amount of cat raping, and the amount of pain we inflict onto Milk's cousins due to these movies. Seriously though, I could spend ten pages on the awesome that is Feast. It's just... mind.... blowing. Dude. 100,000,000 hugs
- I recently got through the last season of Dead Like Me, preparing for the eternal let down that was Dead Like Me colon The Movie. 3 hugs
Plantabulous update: I'm about to buy this on Etsy.
And these.(Yes, I rate my movies in hugs)
Sincerely,
