So, I have been a bit mopy over the past few days, because of wrestling with accepting myself as I am, and not as idealized, good-bits only version of myself. A high point the other day, though, was seeing Miyazaki Hayao's film Spirited Away. It's simply amazingly good. Richly imagined, beautifully made, thoughtful, touching, loving, clear, detailed...beautiful. More than anything else that is staying with me about this movie, it is absolutely beautiful. The sights and sounds were absolutely ravishing. I want to see it again. I want to own this movie. And, I want to see more of Miyazaki's films. (I have seen Mononoke both in subtitled Japanese, and in the English language with script by Neil Gaiman.)

If I could create moments of such transcendant beauty, in any format (even gaming), and I were to then die, I would feel that my life had not been wholly in vain.

Hey-

Haven't you gotten me pizza at least once?

Then I'd say your life has not been in vain.

(You *are* a fucker for watching SPirited Away withough us, though... looking forward to finally seeing it.)

I'd love to see Spirited Away again with you.

Also, would you and Fuschia care to join Millari and me on Sunday evening and go see Reloaded again? I'm done at the salt mine around 7:15....
