Mar. 12th, 2006 09:59 amSaturday I was lazy. I slept in very late, goofed off the rest of the day, and eventually made it to Fred Meyers to buy some things. Along with a lot of groceries for the coming week or so, I picked up My Neighbor Totoro, Whispers of the Heart, and Castle In The Sky. These three movies, it turns out, were filed in the tiny anime section rather than in the section for Disney films, which is why I didn't find them before. Go figure. Anyway I spent more money than I probably should have, but now I'm just lacking Pom Poko and My Neighbors the Yamadas to complete my Studio Ghibli collection. Well, those and Only Yesterday of course, which Disney doesn't seem inclined to release. They also didn't release Grave of the Fireflies, another Takahata film that is more adult than most of Studio Ghibli's work -- that film was released by Central Park Media. Hopefully Omohide poro poro (Only Yesterday) will eventually be released by someone somehow.
By the way, I'd almost forgotten this, but did you know what film Studio Ghibli is working on right now? Tales From Earthsea. That's right -- based on the Ursula K. Le Guin books!

When I was at the store last night I found corned beef on sale for $1.50 per pound. It's always on sale this time of year, and I love corned beef. I actually bought two and put one in the freezer. The other I put in the crock pot last night, and it smells very good now. I got some cabbage and onions and red potatos to go with it. I didn't really sleep that much last night, I got up early and couldn't get back to sleep, but corned beef for breakfast sounded a little weird, so I cooked some eggs and diced potatos and had that with juice and tea while I was watching Totoro. I guess I'll have corned beef this afternoon/evening. ^_^
Another note: On the subject of word/phrase logic flaw mispellings (the kind that give you "web sight" for web site, and "deja view" for deja vu), I saw a good one today. On a sports site, some fan was speaking of their favorite basketball team and their powerful inside player and called him "a force to be wrecken with". ^_^
For those of you monitoring my LJ for such things, and by "those of you" I of course mean David and Gene, I did no writing yesterday. But do not despair, for today is another day!
