Just watched Ponyo (HUGE fan of Hayao Miyazaki, Spirited Away) with my gorgeous son, Elijah (movie night before I go to Sudan for 3-weeks). Andrew mistakenly downloaded the Japanese version (no subtitles)… it was seriously brilliant! Felt like I watched the film through my 4-yr old’s eyes – I picked up the primary concepts but didn’t ‘get’ the details (…not fluent in Japanese, stink!). This movie is now in my top ten… highly recommended.

In other news, I’m still not packed…
