I want to put a sign up over our front door like the one Morwen has: None Of This Nonsense, Please.

I adored Talking to Dragons as a kid, and didn't know there were other books until a few years ago. I rushed out and bought the other three, naturally. ::happy sigh:: I always thought those books would make fabulous animated movies.

Yes. I would like that sign too. Maybe in my office. :)

Speaking of movies, you heard that the guy who did _Spirited Away_ did an anime of Diana Wynne Jones' _Howl's Moving Castle_? I'm really hoping it's going to come out in a theatre where I can get to see it! (Ok, yes, I've probably told EVERYONE in the world about this. but... oooh.... :) )

Oh yes, I've heard of the movie. I've got two friends who are huge fans and they've been sending info. It sounds really good, I think.
