It's a NEW Day!!

May 20, 2003 10:24 PM

So I was just doing dishes . . . which, um, haven't been done in a while, 'cause, you know, I've had things to do. And I commented to my husband, "Man, some of these dishes . . . I feel like I'm in the Sea of Corruption. Surrounded by the Miasma."

"Don't breathe in the spores!!" he suggested.

OK, I don't expect too many people to get that. But it was really funny at the time.

See, we've both been reading Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, the manga by Hayao Miyazaki.

Our video store has the movie version, but only in Japanese without subtitles. So we're reading the manga first so that we'll know what's happening when we see the movie.

I'm worried, though . . . Nausicaa may end up toppling Lord of the Rings from it's lifelong designation in my mind as the Best Story Ever.

It's that good.

I have not read the manga, but do have the DVD with English subtitles. Miyazaki-san is a god among manga authors.
