After breakfast came a brisk walk 'round the lake to visit Sage the cat. Just as we were returning, the snow started falling. It took a while to get really rolling, but then it turned into a nice little snowstorm for us to enjoy.
The snow wasn't enough to deter us from heading up to Cap Hill to join the Moveable Feast as it made its way from the apartment of Court2 to that of Eryk and Sylvio. We settled ourselves in among the gazillion plants to enjoy the shank of the day, from lemoncello shots to spicy corn chowder, with these fine folks and Johnbai, Dingo, and Yohanna. (Soapy and Stella (and my sister) joined in through the miracle of wireless telephony.)
After heading home (in the rain), we watched Spirited Away, a film that, while almost universally hailed as Miyazaki's masterpiece, left both Otis and I feeling pretty flat in regards to character motivation and identification. It was pretty trippy, though.

Today, I went to my office on campus to work on syllabi for next quarter. Humph.

Spirited Away is NOT Miyazaki's masterpiece. I'd listen to arguments on behalf of Princess Mononoke or maybe even Howell's Moving Castle... but Spirited Away always seemed imaginative without any heart. And personally, I think Naussica of the Valley of the Wind is his best story.
