Princess Mononoke

Today I finished watching Princess Mononoke (1999,PG-13) (Screen It! Review). From Wikipedia:

Princess Mononoke...is a Japanese animated film by Hayao Miyazaki and was first released in Japan on July 12, 1997 and in the U.S. on October 29, 1999 in select cities and on November 26, 1999. It is a jidaigeki set in late Muromachi period of Japan, and centers on the struggle between the supernatural guardians of a forest and the humans who need its resources, as seen by the outsider Ashitaka. "Mononoke" is not a name but a description that might be rendered in this context as 'spirits', making the title of the film "Princess of the Spirits/Spirit Princess."

I have watched too much Japanimation, but what I've seen I've liked (and that includes this one). The first time you see an animated head go flying from a body is kind of strange. The conflict between humanity and nature was interesting too. I give it 4 out of 5.

Have Trike, Will Travel

Twice today Finn hopped onto his tricylce and road off down the sidewalk...getting quite far away before anybody noticed that he was gone. The second time he was already on the other side of the block before he was tracked down by the miscellaneous neighbors who scattered in search of him when they heard Lisa calling his name.

Easter Bunny

I was telling Lisa that I overheard Elliot talking to his friend Fitzhugh (who is visiting his grandparents who live next door to us):

Elliot: "My mom told me that the Easter Bunny isn't real." Fitzhugh: "But she's wrong, right?!?" Elliot: "Right."

Lisa responded, "I did go to the store and picked up some presents for you for Easter." Finn chimed in, "Did the Easter Bunny go shopping with you?"

30 Pieces of Silver

From our good buddy Chris L. at the kyivmission blog:

It seems to me almost all of us are generally pretty close to betraying Christ for 30 pieces of silver. May we learn to recognize Mammon for the spiritual force it is and resist it with all our might.
