Speaking of you, odd stories, and novels. I was perusing the library's fiction collection today, when this book pops out at me. It's title? In rather pretty, edwardian script: "Gwen". Just.

Miyazaki hasn't managed to jade me yet, although I have watched Howl's Moving Castle enough times now that, should the power of concentration be readily available, I could play it over in my head. Instead of becoming jaded, though, this has made me pick out little things that I've never seen before, that add an odd dimesion to my watching of the film. I hope that's what happens when I see Spirited Away again....
