87º F ?

Won't that melt the snow?

Happy Christmas y'all

Yes, 87º would melt the snow if we had it


(I forgot to say "Happy Festivus" )

What'd you get all? My best present was this set of 20 real production sketches from Star Wars: Episode I. Must cost thousands. Went to a Chinese church and the minister, pastor, uh...I'm no Christian, but anyway, the guy told a story about how the Chinese church in New York burned down and all the members went to black church. He said the Blacks and the Yellows were able to get through the hardship. So he was pretty much racist to himself and the entire congregation there....XD. I get Christmas and Hannukah presents, plus my birthday is Janruary five, and Chinese New Year means eighty dollars in February.

Woah! My parents brought me like half my Lego! This is awesome! Now I want the other half...

[exo]

Which one?

[garooob]

Half of all my Lego. Half of my collection! Just a guess, but probably 1500-2000 pieces!

[kagetsu]

Never had enough legos for a castle,,, maybe if I'd started with the keep instead of the dungeon Anyway, had enough for a good size airport. Most of my minisets were earth movers,,, not sure why.

This years booty was mostly dvd's. "Castle in the Sky", "Ghost in the Shell" movie, "Inuyasha, Swords of an Honourable Ruler", first vol of "Noir". Enya and Narnia CD's. Fuzzy socks that I wear around the house and black silk underwear,,, no sillies, the long warm kind.

Pastor, Reverend, Minister, all the same, just sort of regional. Father for Catholic and Episcopals I believe.

[garooob]

Thanks, CS!
Anyone doing anything for the New Year?

[exo]

Eight straight hours of Naruto.

[kagetsu]

OH, thanks for the reminder, I forgot.

[garooob]

I rode my bike and now I'm watching Naruto, too...

[exo]

"Castle in the Sky

Always wanted to see that movie, since I was little. Just never did...

Today's my Birthday! Yay!

[kagetsu]

I'm slowly working my way through Miyasaki movies.
For me, Spirited Away was, and still is the best. Kiki's Delivery Service was cute, but not great. And Nausica was good after I watched it a few times. I was putting off Princess Mononoki and Castle in the Sky because some of the screen captures made the story seem wrong. I was surprized with both. Castle in the Sky had a very small feeling of Escoflone(sp?) with the airships. But the characters were great. Especially the ones you would expect to be bad guys turning out to be allies and friends. I'm now falling in love with Princess Mononoki where no one is fully evil, or fully good.
Though not a Miyasaki but Ghibli, The Cat Returns was a fun movie to watch, though very short.
Oh, and Happy Birthday

[Chauve-Souris]

...Today's my Birthday! Yay!

Yay, indeed, exey! Happy Boithday!

Bonne Anniversaire, exo!

kagetsu, Princess Mononoke is the best (or maybe second best, after Spirited Away). I saw it in the theater 4 times and have watched it probably 20 times total. If you like Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind at all, READ THE MANGA. I can't stress that enough. It's so good!

[kagetsu]

I've been slowly considering manga. I'm thinking I want to see W.I.T.C.H. manga from the beginning if I can find it. Hadn't thought of Nausica, I'll have to keep that in mind and see what I can find.

You get to see anime in the theater? lucky

The very first anime I bought was because Spirited Away and Cowboy Bebop, The movie was never coming within 100 miles of where I live.

Oh, BTW. Turner Classic Movies is going to run Myiazaki. For us it started tonight, (at least it's the first I've seen it) Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. At ToonZone they say it's going to run all of them/

The Nausicaa manga is very good. It's serious and heavy and has sort of a lesson to learn. Not for those looking for something to make them laugh.

You get to see anime in the theater? lucky

They were small, independent art theaters. On the other hand, I saw Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle at dependent, corporate theaters.

Shoot! I wish I'd have known before! So I missed Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke. But at least there's other movies every Thursday this month!

[miaame]

kagetsu,
Thanks for the info. I've seen Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky, Princess Mononoke, and Kiki's Delivery Service.

Toys R Us was selling My Neighbor Totoro for $8, and I bought it...I haven't watched it yet though!

Miyazaki's films are all really good.

PS Anyone ever hear of Kamikaze Girls, the movie? I heard it was a hit manga/story. Reviews have said it was supposed to be good, and I bought it...Haven't watched that yet, either.

[exo]

Bonne Anniversaire, exo!

kagetsu, Princess Mononoke is the best (or maybe second best, after Spirited Away).

I don't see why people like Spirited Away so much, I consider Mononoke on a much higher level. My mother bought Nasicca at 'R' Us as a holiday gift, but never gave it to me.

Oh, anyone know that anime that was about this orphan who was a skilled artist and this guy like his grandpa got pissed or something and there was a dog...and Christianity...I'll have to go dig up some old Pokemon VHS, they advertised it there. Castle in the Sky and that movie yet to see...

[Chauve-Souris]

I don't see why people like Spirited Away so much....

I didn't like it at all (except when the flying dragon was on the screen). I guess I am the only person in the world who doesn't like Miyazaki stuff. Sorry about that....

I'd never heard of it until someone got me hooked on it. I got a post card from orlando saying, "You have to see Spirited Away, it's so good!" So I went to see it when they put it in the theatre, and liked it.
