I'd been meaning to get around to watching some Studio Ghibli films at some point
but it took my 14 year old to actually get me sat down to watch Spirited Away last night. Excellent film made all the more special by it being the first time I've been introduced to a film by one of my children.

I'm an hour into work and I've already done a days worth. I suppose I should be expanding my skills or summat now but I really can't be arsed. I'm a real fucken go-getter!

Alt: Dunno. Do I have to think of something really obscure to look cool? Cause I can't be arsed doing that either. I'll say In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, The Chain or I am The Resurrection.
