Where is my muse?
Have you ever wondered what the world would look like if anime characters walked the earth with us normal people? I'm not saying in 2D form, but in flesh and blood 3D persona, mind you. Would they still look cute or would they scare the living daylight out of us? Just food for thought.
I watched Spirited Away two weeks ago and its magic still hasn't worn off. I have a very strong inkling that the Japanese have stumbled onto a secret when they launched into self-incarceration. For how else can they come up with astounding concepts and storylines for films and comics? If isolation is the key to becoming a genius, then maybe I should lock myslef up somewhere, in a tower perhaps (no, I'm not alluding to Rapunzel, I just couldn't think of any place else that would be more interesting), with only books, writing instruments, and paper as my companions. That should help emancipate my mind. And maybe after that I could be a Miyazaki or a Kurosawa. Then I'll be able to write about mythical dragons and mystical towns, samurais and humanism--and I will blow everybody away with my stories.
Yes, that would be very nice. That would be a feat of many lifetimes.
Unfortunately, I am only able to dream. Then again, who knows what dreams may become?
Aw, kcuf! Why am I being dramatic? Who am I kidding?! I can't even dream the stuff up, much less make them a reality! LOL! :p Give it up, haiku. Your name's the closest to Jap culture you'll ever get. Okay, I guess I better stop now. Talking to oneself is never a good sign.

On the contrary, talking to one's self can be beneficiary, just as long as you agree with yourself most of the time.

Wow, sige, when I think of something! Thanks for offering! I think gashapons are more expensive there kaya I just buy them here. ;p By the way, the hubby and I are seriously considering studying the Japanese language so we could have a deeper understanding of the animes and Japanese films we watch. :)
