Spirited Away was pretty nifty. Theater was *packed* for a Sunday afternoon, as well (though I could have done without the little boy twi seats down from me talking throughout *the entire movie.* Don't they teach kids not to talk in theaters anymore?) But, yeah, the movie was neat, and worth seeing. I am pleased with this trend of getting anime movies in wide release in America, even if I have to tolerate dubbing to get it done.

If this sore throat and vague fever doesn't go away, I am not going to be a happy camper come book club time. I'm not coughing much, it's just sore enough to be annoying.
