the Gatland family in front of the telly again

Look at all the little Calcifers!

We are off to the States for a month. I have primed myself for Howl's Moving Castle by re-reading it. Sara (7) and Mark (5) have primed themselves for Howl's Moving Castle by watching Spirited Away with me last night. The DVD, a present from Tim, has been sitting (unwatched) on my filing cabinet for at least 6 months, maybe a year; the gift definitely predates my seduction down the anime/manga path by [livejournal.com profile] coffee_and_ink, [livejournal.com profile] telophase, and [livejournal.com profile] rachelmanija. How does my husband know me so well?

Sara has amazingly well-developed Plot Sense. mild spoilers for Spirited Away ) It stuns me.

Mark's comment: "This reminds me of Fullmetal Alchemist."

This morning's conversation:

Mark: "What does 'rech' mean?"
Mummy: "Well; it could mean 'wretch,' someone who's very miserable, or it could mean 'retch,' when you make a sound like blaaaaaaa."
Mark: "I thought it meant when you have a whole lot of treasure and you get to play with it."
Mummy: "Oh, you mean 'RICH'!"

I probably won't be posting much over the next six weeks. But I WILL be at WorldCon!
And here is my schedule. )
