We watched Miyazaki's My Neighbor Totoro last night.  It's a story of two young girls with a hospitalized mother and a working father who move to a new neighborhood and discover the gigantic Totoro living under a nearby tree.  Don't know how to explain what Totoro is - a giant creature invoking undeniable images of Pokemon.  I liked it, but like many of Miyazaki's cartoons I ended up asleep before the sucker ended.  Even my extra strong iced mocha wasn't enough.  Anyhow, this all started with a recommendation to see Spirited Away from Endo-san.  That was ok, a little bizarre, but in a good way.  I actually prefer Kiki's best, but we still have Mononoke and a few others to go. Hurray for Netflix.
