    Wol Euler blows in your ear.
    Agatha Macbeth falls over
    Wol Euler: oh dear
    Agatha Macbeth: Hello dear Wollie
    Agatha Macbeth: How are we?
    Wol Euler: pretty cheerful, in a tired way
    Agatha Macbeth waits for Wol to return from the kitchen
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah
    Agatha Macbeth: Good
    Wol Euler: too many IMs, sorry
    Agatha Macbeth: About cheerful, not tired!
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh IMs are a pain when you first come in
    Agatha Macbeth: and GNs too
    Wol Euler: ?
    Agatha Macbeth: And they cover my movement controls up
    Wol Euler: group notices, right
    Agatha Macbeth: Yeh
    Wol Euler: you use movement controls? I just use the keyboard arrows
    Agatha Macbeth: Then you're waiting for everything to rez of course
    Agatha Macbeth: Yes
    Agatha Macbeth: Always have
    Agatha Macbeth: Much prefer to use the mouse to move
    Agatha Macbeth: Force of habit I guess
    Agatha Macbeth: The camera that is: not me
    Agatha Macbeth: Use mouse and keys for that
    Wol Euler: right
    Agatha Macbeth: But navigation in SL is pretty much second nature now so I don't even think about it
    Wol Euler nods.
    Agatha Macbeth: Somebody told me you can use a joystick too, but not sure I'd fancy that
    Wol Euler: hmmmm
    Wol Euler: why not? it's no more unnatural than a keyboard, really.
    Wol Euler: but yes I know what you mean, I think I would find it odd too
    Agatha Macbeth: Well it just seems 'wrong'
    Wol Euler: for walking at least, I can see it being great for camming
    Wol Euler: an odd difference, that
    Wol Euler: hello vorder
    Agatha Macbeth: Hello Vord
    Vorder Forder: hello
    Agatha Macbeth: A mouse is a much more intuitive way of working with a PC anyways
    Agatha Macbeth: Joysticks are for consoles
    Wol Euler: or flight simulators
    Agatha Macbeth: Same difference
    Wol Euler: which is why I think they'd feel natural for camera control
    Wol Euler: but not for walking
    Agatha Macbeth: Probably
    Agatha Macbeth: Anyway I'm used to this way now, so...
    Wol Euler nods.
    Agatha Macbeth: What kind of controls does WoW use?
    Wol Euler: keyboard and mouse
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah
    Wol Euler: very cleverly done, actually, you can and often do use both at once
    Agatha Macbeth: 0.0
      --BELL--1315
    Wol Euler: mouse for movement and selecting targets, left hand on keyboard for actions
    Agatha Macbeth: How many hands do you have then?
    Wol Euler: the usual number :-P
    Agatha Macbeth: Hmm
    Wol Euler: mouse in right hand, left hand on keyboard
    Agatha Macbeth: Pretty much like SL then?
    Wol Euler laughs.
    Vorder Forder: so
    Wol Euler: in the sense that a 32-wheel heavy truck is pretty much like a bicycle, yes
    Agatha Macbeth: Maybe all MMORPGs are the same
    Agatha Macbeth: So Vord?
    Vorder Forder: just a so
    Wol Euler: ah :)
    Agatha Macbeth: So so
    Wol Euler: I haven't seen you in a while, are you well?
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah so
    Vorder Forder: just adding something
    Agatha Macbeth: Are you into MMORPGs Vord?
    Vorder Forder: you can aways add some "so"
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Vorder Forder: what´s a MMORPGs?
    Agatha Macbeth: Massive...thingy
    Agatha Macbeth: Like world of warcraft
    Agatha Macbeth: Ask Wol
    Wol Euler: massively multiplayer online role playing game
    Agatha Macbeth: That's the one
    Vorder Forder: hehe not at all
    Wol Euler: a world like this one, where you are surrounded by other human players
    Wol Euler: playing game characters
    Agatha Macbeth: Slaughtering orcs and that kind of stuff
    Wol Euler: yep
    Vorder Forder: oh
    Vorder Forder: it´s not for me thank you
    Agatha Macbeth: Except you can't kill anyone in SL
    Wol Euler: "oh" is nearly as universally useful as "so" :)
    Vorder Forder: wibe them out
    Wol Euler nods.
    Agatha Macbeth: Well I guess ejecting them is the closest :p
    Vorder Forder: umm
    Wol Euler: there is a strong parallel between orcs and griefers :)
    Vorder Forder: not my cup of tea
    Wol Euler: in the ire they arouse
    Agatha Macbeth: Ha
    Wol Euler: well, vorder, I thought it wasn't my cup of tea either, until I started playing :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Maybe orcs *are* griefers?
    Wol Euler: I'd never thought that kind of thing could appeal to me
    Wol Euler: but it does
    Wol Euler: hello cat
    Catrinamonblue Resident: hi :)
    Vorder Forder: uppsss I might not start then
    Agatha Macbeth: Hi Cat ^.^
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Wol Euler: it's best not to try it unless you have a lot of spare time that you don't mind losing
    Catrinamonblue Resident: listens quietly to catch whats up :)
    Wol Euler: I'll give you a notecard
    Vorder Forder: I need a shotgun for protection like the rest of the world
    Catrinamonblue Resident: ty :)
    Vorder Forder: only for protection
    Vorder Forder: our worst enemy
    Vorder Forder: it is easy to point them out
    Vorder Forder: I am my worst enemy
    Agatha Macbeth: Yes, many people are :p
    Wol Euler nods.
    Agatha Macbeth: Like Number 6
    Vorder Forder: but we have to take that step of turning that around
    Vorder Forder: ..)
    Agatha Macbeth: Love thyself?
    Wol Euler wonders if ..) is how flounders smile :)
    Agatha Macbeth ponders
    Agatha Macbeth: Flatfish?
    Wol Euler: mmhmm
    Agatha Macbeth: Right
    Wol Euler: both eyes on the same side of the body
    Vorder Forder: not shoot your self is a good start
    Wol Euler: yes, though that skill evades many people each year
    Agatha Macbeth: Right Vord
    Vorder Forder: .)
    Wol Euler: guns are nearly as dangerous to their owners as to anyone else
    Wol Euler: or so it seems
    Vorder Forder: but keep on aming on your target
    Vorder Forder: I can
    Vorder Forder: I can´t see any use for guns
    Vorder Forder: I am perhaps old fashion
    Wol Euler: "civilized", vorder :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Well unless you intend to kill somebody, they isn't one :p
    Agatha Macbeth: there*
    Catrinamonblue Resident: only ever used a gun once, when my dad borrowed one to shoot porcupines that were eating the porch
    Agatha Macbeth: It's like saying we have nuclear missiles but will never use them
    Catrinamonblue Resident: neverhad the desire to touch one ever
    Wol Euler nods.
    Wol Euler: nor I
    Agatha Macbeth: Did the porcupines shoot back?
    Catrinamonblue Resident: no but they ran faster than my dad could aim :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Ha
    Agatha Macbeth: little buggers
    Vorder Forder: good for them
    Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
    Wol Euler: heheheh
    Vorder Forder: ..)

    Zen Arado: :)
    Vorder Forder: oh I am the only one wearing a rope..)
    Wol Euler: *robe ?
    Agatha Macbeth: Best not to wear it round your neck tho :p
    Wol Euler: or that

    Agatha Macbeth: Only in the pauses
    Wol Euler: ah
    Agatha Macbeth: Takes practice
    Wol Euler: it is an active verb in German
    Agatha Macbeth: Aha robe...i see
    Wol Euler: as though saying nothing takes a concious effort
    Wol Euler: "I silented."
    Agatha Macbeth: For some it does!
    Zen Arado: a kesa in Zen?

    Wol Euler: poor eliza :(
    Vorder Forder: all the effort takes place in the silence
    Agatha Macbeth nods
    Zen Arado: she must have heard
    Wol Euler: speak of the devil :)
    Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Talk of the devil, she just came on
    Agatha Macbeth: Snap
    Agatha Macbeth: Telepathy
    Wol Euler: must be
    Agatha Macbeth: She heard us call
    Zen Arado: the call of being
    Agatha Macbeth: Indeed
    Zen Arado: but she never heard it
    Zen Arado: and it is gone forever
    Agatha Macbeth: awww
    Zen Arado: it fell into the abyss
    Zen Arado: of unheard cries
    Agatha Macbeth: And met Abbadon
    Zen Arado: she didn't hear the cries of the world

    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Actually did you model your look on Obi Wan Vorder?
    Vorder Forder: what do you mean?
    Zen Arado: who is he?
    Agatha Macbeth: You have the look of Alec Guiness about you
    Vorder Forder: yes who is he?
    Catrinamonblue Resident: Star Wars movies :)
    Wol Euler: one of the heroes of Star Wars
    Agatha Macbeth: Obi Wan Kenobi? You're kidding
    Zen Arado: have never seen any
    Agatha Macbeth: OMG
    Eliza Madrigal: @@
    Wol Euler: O.O

    Zen Arado: didn't know you could still do that
    Wol Euler: "send a telegram"? how quaint
    Agatha Macbeth: Maybe you can where he lives
    Wol Euler: yes, zen, my thoughts too
    Catrinamonblue Resident: wishes someone would send me a telegram :)
    Eliza Madrigal: paused a moment with that also... tasting the leap back in time
    Wol Euler: I suppose there are people without e-mail still
    Zen Arado: maybe it's an Icelandic idiom
    Wol Euler: has anyone here ever actually received or sent a telegram?
    Wol Euler: I haven't
    Zen Arado: for 'I have to go'
    Agatha Macbeth: Will have to ask Björk
    Catrinamonblue Resident: no
    Eliza Madrigal: not I
    Agatha Macbeth: Don't think so no
    Eliza Madrigal: .stop.
      --BELL--1345
    Agatha Macbeth: They were quite expensive I believe
    Wol Euler: it's such a strange idea, I am curiously keen to do it
    Catrinamonblue Resident: http://www.telegramstop.com/
    Zen Arado: sitting at pab stop
    Agatha Macbeth: Weirdo (hug)
    Catrinamonblue Resident: there are many other sites too :)
    Wol Euler: :))))
    Eliza Madrigal: I learn so much here :), ty Cat
    Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
    Agatha Macbeth: SL is educational
    Zen Arado: but does a telegram boy deliver it?
    Zen Arado: on a bicycle?
    Wol Euler: ah, there's the rub
    Wol Euler: singing?
    Eliza Madrigal: wearing a little hat
    Agatha Macbeth: Telegram Sam
    Wol Euler remembers Madonna as a singing telegram girl in ... which film? "Smoke" or "Blue in the face"
    Zen Arado: heh
    Wol Euler: one of those, Harvey Keitel
    Wol Euler: Jim Jarmusch was the director
    Eliza Madrigal has never heard of either of those films
    Wol Euler: oh, great films, highly recommended the pair of them
    Catrinamonblue Resident: nor I
    Agatha Macbeth: Isn't that the guy with the teeth in the Bond films?
    Wol Euler: lemme check which is which
    Wol Euler: no that was Richard something
    Wol Euler: Keele?
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh
    Eliza Madrigal: I have a string of animes to get through
    Eliza Madrigal: but I did see Ruby Sparks
    Agatha Macbeth: Not animas? ;-)
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Zen Arado: animes?
    Wol Euler: ah!
    Wol Euler: did you like it?
    Agatha Macbeth: They're great, and manga
    Catrinamonblue Resident: Japanese cartoons of sorts, which ones Eliza?
    Zen Arado: I need to watch some movies to catch up
    Eliza Madrigal: I did like it... though, it took half the film to begin to
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Wol Euler: yeah, it's slow
    Eliza Madrigal: really interesting use of that idea, felt by the end
    Zen Arado: what idea?
    Eliza Madrigal: of being with someone who conforms to one's wishes
    Wol Euler: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114478/?ref_=sr_4
    Wol Euler: Wayne Wang, not Jarmusch
    Agatha Macbeth: Wayne Wang?  (made up name?)
    Zen Arado: never met anyone like that
    Wol Euler: a lovely film
    Agatha Macbeth: Good job his first name wasn't Dick
    Eliza Madrigal: many couples do try to dance that way for a while "I'll be what you want - you be what I want" ??
    Agatha Macbeth: Somehow it never works tho
    Eliza Madrigal: cause its work... eventually work gives up :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Maybe we can only be ourselves
    Wol Euler: except perhaps in fantasy roleplay :)
    Zen Arado: we don't even know what we want
    Agatha Macbeth: I wasn't thinking of dungeon play Wollie ;-)
    Eliza Madrigal: I think... even to ourselves ... yes Zen
    Wol Euler chuckles.
    Zen Arado: so how does anyone else?
    Agatha Macbeth: 7sm
    Eliza Madrigal: how did you end up in a dungeon Agatha... she only said fantasy :P
    Wol Euler: good point, thank you eliza
    Agatha Macbeth: That's pretty true Zen
    Eliza Madrigal giggles
    Agatha Macbeth: One-track mind?
    Zen Arado: I went to a dungeon one time
    Zen Arado: but I didn't know what to do
    Zen Arado: :(
    Agatha Macbeth: Just hang around...
    Wol Euler: boom boom
    Zen Arado: but the woman expected me to do something
    Agatha Macbeth: Anyway
    Eliza Madrigal: should have clicked around for notecards Zen
    Zen Arado: with the ,,,,equipment
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Zen Arado: :)
    Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Yeh, just look for the poseballs
    Zen Arado: she just stood swishing her tail
    Wol Euler grins.
    Eliza Madrigal: ah, need the dungeon dictionary
    Agatha Macbeth: The ones with tails are the worst
    Zen Arado: that meant she was angry?
    Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
    Wol Euler: there is a convention of holding two conversations at once, in local chat one plays the encounter through (roleplay)
    Wol Euler: and uses IM to negotiate the issue of who does what, and what people want
    Eliza Madrigal: did something spray from her tail? then maybe angry....lol
    Agatha Macbeth: Sounds logical
    Zen Arado: that's only males do that :)
    Wol Euler raises an eyebrow.
    Agatha Macbeth: Knowing the house rules is half the battle I guess
    Eliza Madrigal: hehee
    Catrinamonblue Resident: lol
    Eliza Madrigal: well, I do know that it is conventional to exchange notecards with a sort of outline or preferences
    Agatha Macbeth: Road map
    Zen Arado: how was I supposed to know that?
    Wol Euler: there is always a moment of negotiating "what are we doing here", in every encounter
    Wol Euler: even in normal RL
    Agatha Macbeth: True
    Catrinamonblue Resident: yes
    Wol Euler: "are we going to stop i the street and talk, or will we just nod and say hello and keep walking"
    Agatha Macbeth: Brief encounter
    Zen Arado: of a D/S kind
    Wol Euler: especially there :)
    Eliza Madrigal: not sure ... signals can still be screwy
    Agatha Macbeth ponders screwy signals
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Zen Arado: am still in brief encounter era pwrhaps
    Zen Arado: terribly British
      --BELL--1400
    Agatha Macbeth: Don't travel by train much anymore
    Zen Arado: lets down window and opens train door
    Wol Euler: ah, I remember those :)
    Zen Arado: with leather strap
    Zen Arado: heh
    Agatha Macbeth: 0.0
    Wol Euler: they were blue and smelled of smoke and machine oil
    Agatha Macbeth: Mm
    Agatha Macbeth: Thomas the tank
    Wol Euler: the seats were covered in a strange, very prickly, dark blue fabric
    Zen Arado: which smelled musty
    Wol Euler: wooden handrails and edges, with brass screwheads
    Wol Euler: yes
    Zen Arado: god knows what happened on them
    Agatha Macbeth: Sounds like the orient express
    Zen Arado: nah British Rail
    Wol Euler: no, this was standard Brit Rail local rolling stock in the 60s
    Wol Euler: and up to the 80s actually
    Wol Euler: in some areas, east London for example
    Wol Euler: heh, I can smell it now
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Eliza Madrigal smiles
    Zen Arado: I wrote a poem about a steam train
    Zen Arado: from my Granny's backyard
    Agatha Macbeth: Chuff chuff chuff
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
    Zen Arado: will read sometime
    Agatha Macbeth: Yeh
    Catrinamonblue Resident: would love to hear it sometime :)
    Wol Euler: sure :)
    Zen Arado: after tutor has decimated it
    Zen Arado: :(
    Wol Euler: then perhaps better before
    Eliza Madrigal: oh no, read it before
    Wol Euler: while you still feel good about it
    Eliza Madrigal: yes
    Catrinamonblue Resident: agree with Wol and Eliza
    Agatha Macbeth: Nobody ever raised a statue to a critic...
    Wol Euler: it's easy to pour scorn on somebody's work, any fool can do that and most do
    Zen Arado: not sure that I do feel good about it
    Agatha Macbeth: True Wollie
    Eliza Madrigal: but sharing with friends is something different... you are sharing not just the structure of a poem but the sensations and memories
    Wol Euler nods.
    Eliza Madrigal: and yourself
    Zen Arado: heh
    Agatha Macbeth: Plus Pabbers are more enlightened :p
    Eliza Madrigal: yeah
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Wol Euler: true
    Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
    Zen Arado: you are so persuasive Eliza ;)
    Agatha Macbeth: She is
    Eliza Madrigal grins
    Eliza Madrigal: not meaning to be persuasive though, sincere
    Agatha Macbeth: That too
    Zen Arado: sure I know
    Zen Arado: I like Billy Collins now
    Zen Arado: tutor tod us about him
    Agatha Macbeth: Phil's brother?
    Zen Arado: oh no
    Zen Arado: anything but that
    Wol Euler listens.
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah
    Eliza Madrigal: oh, that's right... Zen doesn't like Phil
    Zen Arado: American poet
    Agatha Macbeth: Right
    Wol Euler: contemporary?
    Zen Arado: yes
    Zen Arado: he was American poet laureate
    Eliza Madrigal: I'm not familiar with him
    Zen Arado: will read one on Sunday Eliza
    Agatha Macbeth: Sunday?
    Zen Arado: he was over here my tutor says
    Zen Arado: a poetry reading
    Eliza Madrigal: wonderful Zen :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh, nice
    Zen Arado: he is clever and funny
    Wol Euler: oh, cool
    Wol Euler: where and when?
    Catrinamonblue Resident: listens with calendar in hand
    Eliza Madrigal: it is with Virtual Ability at the library
    Agatha Macbeth: La sakura?
    Catrinamonblue Resident: lm?
    Eliza Madrigal: it is actually nearby to La Sakura
    Agatha Macbeth: Ok
    Zen Arado: Cape Serenity
    Agatha Macbeth nods
    Wol Euler: and when?
    Agatha Macbeth: Think I know it
    Eliza Madrigal: I gave you the La Sakura landmark Catrina.. the library is a short walk away
    Catrinamonblue Resident: k thank you :)
    Eliza Madrigal: let me see the time
    Zen Arado: 11 am
    Wol Euler: ty

    Agatha Macbeth: Oh that's a good time
    Eliza Madrigal: 11am... but wait to hear from me - do you know what the visitor policy is Zen?
    Agatha Macbeth: No riff raff?
    Eliza Madrigal: I wasn't sure if it was an ingroup thing but I don't think so
    Zen Arado: yeh
    Wol Euler: :)
    Zen Arado: don't think they would mind us bringing friends
    Eliza Madrigal: true
    Zen Arado: it isn't a personal discussion
    Zen Arado: or anything
    Eliza Madrigal: I may be more nervous though... am just getting used to doing this, hah
    Agatha Macbeth: We'll wash first, promise
    Eliza Madrigal: haha
    Wol Euler: heheheh
    Zen Arado: heh no you won't
    Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
      --BELL--1415
    Agatha Macbeth: And won't nick the spoons
    Wol Euler: and we will of course leave if there is any objection
    Eliza Madrigal: I'm sure its fine :)
    Eliza Madrigal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIbc1xC8e8U
    Zen Arado: ask Gentle to make sure though maybe
    Agatha Macbeth: Gentle?
    Eliza Madrigal: okay... should be okay I think - VAI has a broad reach
    Eliza Madrigal: Gentle Heron
    Agatha Macbeth: I've seen those
    Eliza Madrigal: she is the person who coordinates everything under the sun
    Zen Arado: ah the old Leonard Cohen song
    Eliza Madrigal: :)

    Wol Euler smiles.
    Catrinamonblue Resident: lovely
    Agatha Macbeth: Famous blue raincoat
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Wol Euler: :)
    Wol Euler: lovely album, that
    Wol Euler: Jennifer Warnes
    Agatha Macbeth: Mm
    Agatha Macbeth: Warns who of what?
    Eliza Madrigal: I'm also going to co-host a foodie event there soon
    Wol Euler: oooh
    Agatha Macbeth: Wow
    Catrinamonblue Resident: neat
    Agatha Macbeth: What kind of foodie thing?
    Zen Arado: 'Suzanne t'emmène écouter les sirènes Elle te prend par la main Pour passer une nuit sans fin Tu sais qu'elle est à moitié folle C'est pourquoi tu veux rester Sur un plateau d'argent Elle te sert du thé au jasmin Et quand tu voudrais lui dire Tu n'as pas d'amour pour elle Elle t'appelle dans ses ondes Et laisse la mer répondre Que depuis toujours tu l'aimes '
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Zen Arado: wonder what it means :)
    Eliza Madrigal: not sure how it will go exactly except that people will probably share favorite recipes at first... discuss genres of food
    Eliza Madrigal: have you ever heard a recipe read at a poetry event?? I love that, when well read
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh, you should get Stormy to come then ;P
    Zen Arado: heh yes
    Catrinamonblue Resident: google translate Zen
    Catrinamonblue Resident: "Suzanne takes you listen to the sirens It takes you by the hand To spend a night without end You know she's half crazy This is why you want to stay On a silver platter It serves you tea with jasmine And when you want to tell him You do not have to love it She calls you in its wave And leave the sea meet As always you love
    Wol Euler: hehehehe
    Zen Arado: Google isn't very accurate
    Eliza Madrigal giggles!!
    Wol Euler: I'm pretty sure that is not what Leonard actually wrote
    Eliza Madrigal: platter
    Eliza Madrigal: @@

    Agatha Macbeth: Google isn't accurate! what?? @.@
    Zen Arado: I wrote a story in French this week
    Agatha Macbeth: Okay
    Zen Arado: but it needs correction
    Wol Euler: Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river You can hear the boats go by You can spend the night beside her And you know that she's half crazy But that's why you want to be there And she feeds you tea and oranges That come all the way from China And just when you mean to tell her That you have no love to give her Then she gets you on her wavelength And she lets the river answer That you've always been her lover And you want to travel with her And you want to travel blind And you know that she will trust you For you've touched her perfect body with your mind. And Jesus was a sailor When he walked upon the water And he spent a long time watching From his lonely wooden tower And when he knew for certain Only drowning men could see him He said "All men will be sailors then Until the sea shall free them" But he himself was broken Long before the sky would open Forsaken, almost human He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone And you want to travel with him And you want to travel blind And you think maybe
    Wol Euler: you'll trust him For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.
    Wol Euler: And you think maybe you'll trust him For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.

    Sorry to miss your question Catrina!

    You asked:
    Catrinamonblue Resident: Japanese cartoons of sorts, which ones Eliza?

    So, the current list is...


    summer wars (have seen but son wanted to see so we watched last night)
    whisper of the heart
    paprika
    my neighbors the yamadas
    5 centimeters per second
    metropolis
    Posted 12:42, 22 Feb 2013
    Love the list Eliza thank you :)
    I love anything done by Hayao Miyazaki :)
    Howl's Moving Castle
    Castle in the Sky
    are two of my favorites
    the kids are into a show called Bleach
    and I have seen one called Fruits Baskets which is funny
    Posted 19:55, 22 Feb 2013
    Ah :) Am familiar with Fruits Baskets from the kids, too. :)

    Of those you list, Howl's Moving Castle is my particular favorite,
    though I think one year we watched Spirited Away ten times. I
    should add Princess Mononoke to the list above, since I've not
    seen that one yet either. ^.^

    WoTH too, was really lovely. Everyone who uses SL should see Summer Wars! :)
    Posted 20:02, 22 Feb 2013
    Yea I have seen Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke as well :)
    and yes Howl's Moving Castle is my absolute favorite!
    another one is My Neighbor Totoro
    We are about to watch Summer Wars on your recommendation :)
    Posted 20:18, 22 Feb 2013
    :) It isn't as lyrical as a Miyazaki but you'll quickly see why SL inhabitants should see it. Have fun.
