1:07 p.m. - 01.10.02 Sunday : sleep, lunch, sleep and Nero Wolfe, Spirited Away (yay!!), Tom overpaying for EVERYTHING POSSIBLE. Monday : paper, class, SWIMMIN', making people have fun in Doug's room. Spirited Away was really good. I liked the world a lot, and wish that there was a series of books that just dealt with the other things in that world! It would be so cool! I like the dad's quote at the beginning about how the big field and old looking buildings must be an abandoned theme park. The animation was great, even if it did have some awkward bits that just LOOKED CG. I loved the entire beginning sequence where Chihiro is trying to leave the spirit world place and all of the lights are coming on and the night is coming. And the dub, while it took a bit to get used to, was in my opinion really good - I loved Lin's voice so much that I tried, unsuccessfully, to find out her name from the program I picked up in the middle of the movie when the lights were down by using my indiglo watch as a light source. Oh, and I saw a Cooper Mini that looked like a cross between a hearse and a poster for swing music I saw somewhere. Kawaii! One thing that makes me angry: OK, here's the scenario - and the event has been changed to playing Mario Kart, something which has been on my mind recently and can be inserted for humor value. :::: Someone says that they would really like to play Mario Kart with you sometime, so you should try not to make the other people who will be playing Mario Kart hate them because they, say, beat you badly in Tekken Tag and made you cry. They then complain about how bored they are, and so you suggest playing Mario Kart. However, they say that, sorry, although playing Mario Kart sounds like a ton of fun, their schedule is booked solid for a long time doing other fun things with people who are not you. It just makes a person wonder how much the other person actually wanted to play Mario Kart in the first place, since even though they said they still wanted to play, it seems to me that if it were really important to them they would make time to play, rather then spend their time doing other fun things with people who don't play Mario Kart. It's fun making everything analagous to video games. And no, even if you think it is, this is NOT a metaphor for sex.
