Feb 25 -I have no idea what happened to my small header!! It's disappeared even though the css includes it. Maybe I just need to rertype it out in a new class
Feb 19 2024 -I was watching someone's ranked list of Studio Ghibli Movies and I feel like I want to do one too. I will probably need to watch some for the first time. I just know there are two undisputed ones:
Spirited Away is just a lovingly crafted movie about finding agency in life and growing up. I am biased because I watched it as a kid and the themes resonated with me but it was such a fulfulling character journey where Chihiro learns about kindness and hardwork, where the ending is simply a natural progression to life.
Tale of the Princess Kaguya is a wonderful adaptation of the folktale with the same name. The style of the movie was so unique from other Studio Ghibli films. You can really feel Kaguya's sadness and longing for a simple life even though she has all the material things she could want. The moon giveth and taketh away and it's a great, melancholic movie.
Feb 15 2024 - I recently read John Green's book, the Anthropocene Reviewed and thought it was delightful. It was considered a collection essays but I would say its a collection of things John Green likes and enjoys, including many chapters on Indianapolis. It made me more confident in writing as it felt like a light and simple book :0.
I have also decided that the best journals are low maitenance ones so I will not make individual html pages even if I feel like that would help organize things more. Its simply too early and its better to just get started.
