To Catch a Falling Star
I've been really busy lately and really tired. I've been staying up later than I should (as evidenced by the time of this entry).
Haven't done much lately, aside from work, reading, and watching a few movies. I saw Trainspotting, which was good, and The Omega Code which was horribly cheesy.
Today, I went to the prerelease screening of Howl's Moving Castle, at the Coolidge Corner theater. The theater was plagued with technical difficulties (they had problems with the sound at first, and the projector briefly cut out in the middle of the movie). Still, the movie was very good. The art and score were fantastic, as always. The story was a loose adaptation, instead of sticking close to the book. The dub wasn't bad (in particular, Billy Crystal did a very good job as Calcifer), although I really want to see the subtitled version. This isn't Miyazaki's best work (it's somewhat less original and the ending is executed a little less skillfully than usual), but it's still a very well crafted film.
It was nice to see Coolidge Corner again, too. I remember walking around there when I was four. *feels nostalgic*

*feels obligated to say something about choices*
You know, the most important choices are generally the ones where you never know if you made the right one. How would things be different now if my parents had gone to Phoenix instead of Cleveland? No one knows.
