    We went and saw the new Studio Ghibli / Miyazaki film "The Boy and the Heron" ¨this weekend. It was really good and reminded me more of the fantastical films ¨like "Howl's Moving Castle" or "Spirited Away".

    Why the aunt did? I haven't really given it much thought. Off the cuff, I
    think I probably assumed it was to get her sister's blessing about the new relationship with the child. Or possibly the uncle supernaturally beckoned her? There was a limited release here, so I've only seen it once. I am
    certain that as soon as it's available in the home, my wife will quickly
    remedy it. There was A LOT going on in the meteor world that I only half understood, and a lot to desect because it seems to be a metaphor not only
    for miyazaki and his life, but for Japan and it's 'relationship' with World
    War II as well. <- This is a lot of philosophizing happening over a cartoon.
    :P
