i watch a miyazaki film the other night, "porco rosso". its a was funny film that lives up to a miyazaki film. miyazaki did films like "spirited away", "howl's moving castle", "princess mononoke", ect. "porco rosso" was probably the most fun film i've seen out of his movies. i'd been trying to watch it for awhile, so once i finally broke down and got netflix account, it was the first on the queue.

i found some lamps today, hooray! no more overhead lighting. i've actually been using the lighting in my closet so that i don't have direct overhead rays beaming down on me. luckily for me the garage sale was right down the street, so i just had to stroll along. it was this old womens house and her sons were managing the sale, because someone had bought the house and they needed to be out of it by the end of the month. their mother, they say, actually died a year and half ago, they just never wanted to do anything with it i guess. its understandable, its tough to organize and let go of personal possessions, especially loved ones that are no longer around. i mean, shit, i glad i only had to go into my bamma's house once.

but anyway, as most conversations go during unseasonably harsh winters, one of the sons started to talk about the weather. myself, being stupid and all, said it was most likely due to climate shifts happening. and he just went on about how could someone believe that and not in the almighty above. i thought, fuck, i just want to buy shit, not talk to about god and global warming. i don't understand why everyone thinks anyone else wants to hear about their politics, especially from people i don't know. geez. the conversation then moved to how he, one of the sons, hopes that he isn't around for the end of the earth. i told, i would be excited if i was around for the end of the world. it'd be fun. people need a sense of adventure these days.

33 bucks and a headache later, i'm now the proud owner of three new lamps, two umbrellas, an ashtray and a leather ottoman (correct spelling, yeah?) they were really nice guys though.

oh see there on the netflix scan. yeah, that's my address. send me fun things and i'll send fun things back.
