Thanks for the suggestion!<br />As for a rotation schedule: originally, I had thought of assigning one for each day of the week, but I've decided against it. I think my writing on here can feel awfully perfunctory. So, to prevent this, I want to provide myself with lots of options that can be pulled out at any time. I think telling myself that I have to write a certain type of entry at a certain time would just kill any creative impetus that I could harness.Joe Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08290373919018115443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542254453206136875.post-30794356927766774292009-10-13T16:09:05.089-06:002009-10-13T16:09:05.089-06:00I'll make another comment when I have watched ...I'll make another comment when I have watched this movie. For now, I'm going to try to think of suggestions for the series. <br /><br />Just because I like harping on it, the part in Grave of the Fireflies when Setsuko is so sick she's hallucinating. The saddest part isn't when Seita discover's she's hallucinating, but rather when she offers him riceballs (which are actually rocks), which he doesn't take during his period of horror at her condition, and she replies, hurt, "You don't want them?" But, I'm also a pussy when it comes to sad scenes, so I may be overreacting. But it made me sad, because it's demonstrating the shadow of Setsuko that the girl has become. <br /><br />I can't think of anymore right now, but I know they're on the tip of my tongue. By the way, do you have a rotation schedule for all these series you're doing?Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14895817735318693143noreply@blogger.com
