The blog is looking sort of dull, so here's a picture. As you can see, it's a zipper. And a fence. It's a Zipper Fence. Just down the street from my apartment. Built just for fun--for just $8,000. That's so typical of Stanford. Wonderfully whimsical, and totally rich.
By the way, I saw another Miyazaki movie last weekend. Nausicaa, from 1984 or thereabouts. It's really bad. The soundtrack is lousy, the dialogue is crappy, and the protagonist, Nausicaa, has a name that sounds sort of like nausea. It also sounds like Nautica, which reminds me of the sea--and seasickness, and nausea. Vomit any way you look at it.
I also saw Bad Education, a film by Almodovar, the Spanish director whose work I consistently like. All About My Mother was a fantastic movie, and Talk to Her was also solid. Bad Education didn't disappoint. Unless you have a problem with gay people or obscenity (there's plenty of both), I recommend it to you.

i don't have a particular problem with obscenity, it being so subjective and all.
and, i have gay friends whom i have problems with, although, not because of their gayness.
now, obscene gay people or gay obscene people...
thats a pretty cool fence!
I so enjoyed our visit to the fence and our chat with the nice lady who had it put on her property.
Mama
have you seen women on the verge of a nervous breakdown? that was my favorite of his, although all about my mother was amazing too.
