Whisper of the Heart

i don't know what it is about Hayao Miyazaki films that make me so at peace with the world, but i figured i'd share. late last night i got home from watching a movie with laura... (Night Watch... awesome film by the way) and i had 2 disturbing phone calls on the way home... needless to say, both of these phonecalls put me in a very uptight mood... not angry persay, just in the need for a massage or something. anyway... i got home, made some hot cocoa, and started watching Whisper of the Heart, and i went to bed more contented and calm then i have in a long time. odd?? so, if you are stressed out after a long day or if you are just feeling lost or alone or sad, pop in one of studio ghibli's films and you'll probably feel better :)
