Reminder that if you want to read my review of it, scroll back up to December 2023 in this thread.
I started watching the movies and got through Kiki’s, Howl’s and Spirited Away before switching over to nightly reading. I’m currently half-way through Under Wildwood, the second book of The Wildwood Chronicles trilogy. Basically, it’s set in Forest Park in Portland, Oregon, and while it’s a small area in reality, it seems bigger on the inside, with magic giving the area the moniker “Impassable Wilderness”. Laika’s animated film of the first book releases sometime later this year.
Grave of the Fireflies is now next to my Blu-ray player for after I get done with The Book of Life. I decided a week ago to take my own advice after looking at my cable bill. I have a subscription level that isn’t offered any more, so any changes can end up costing me more. I’d have to dump about half of what I have before the price will even drop, and that’s only $25 lower per month.
What I did instead was turn in the cable adapter for the bedroom TV. Instead of watching TV or a movie from cable, it will be from disc so I can get caught up on the good stuff I already have. I think I’m going to skip getting the network reconnected to it so I can’t watch anything on Netflix, either.
