Tools    





Bright light. Bright light. Uh oh.
Damn, as usual, great list. I'm at 56/80. Watching From Morn to Midnight again because I don't remember it that well, but it's so trippy I don't know why. Also have Dealer lined up to go.

Trying Real Hard To Be The Shepherd
Last two sets I have only seen Totoro, which might be my favorite Miyazaki. I need to watch his movies again at some point. They didn't leave a strong impression.

I will definitely give my attention to An Elephant at some point. I want to have the time and energy for it so I give it its due. Sounds like a gut puncher.
