Neat! I saw this and I couldn't resist.

Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year.
March 28

3 events -
1930 - Constantinople and Angora change their names to Istanbul and Ankara.

2006 - At least 1 million union members, students and unemployed take to the streets in France in protest at the government's proposed First Employment Contract law.

2 births -
1970 - Vince Vaughn (10 years older than me!)

1 death - I can't just do one. I found two that were really interesting.

I am a total Miyazaki fangirl or whatever. I love his work. My favorite is Spirited Away. But they are all so great. I haven't seen My Neighbor Tortoru yet, but soon since it's being released on DVD soon. I have on DVD Kiki's Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke (which I saw opening night at our local art theatre), Spirited Away, and Nausicaa of the Wind. I didn't have any clue about Howl's Moving Castle until we went out to rent DVDs for my birthday last week. I'm going to buy it this weekend and enjoy the heck out of it.

I'm getting my husband hooked too. He's seen HMC and Spirted Away. I think next on our list is Princess Mononoke.

PS SQUEE!

O hyes. I'm a Miyazaki fangirl too. I have all that you listed but the My Neighbor Tortoru (for ovbious reasons xD) and Nausicaa of the Wind (i didnt know of that one till i saw the trailers on HMC).

I heard of HMC last year at the Anime Expo (AX!) when i went. It was in theaters there and we were going t ogo but i had to catch a flight so i missed it then. I was in Walmart one day and THERE IS WAS!! xD I squeed in the store, making people look at me oddly. I think they were going to take me and kick me out cus i walked around the store petting it for a while. *giggles* I told a friend about it in e-mail. I knew he would love it. He emaisl back saying "Sure, i'll give it a go. I loved the princess one" I told him to see Spirited away too. Next thing i know, 3 hours later he emails saying he loves HMC and is on his 2ed play. 3 hours after that he writes saying he's going out to get Spirited away. Next day he gives me a report on that too...

I love converting people to Miyazaki fans :D!!!!!!!!!

My dog is a Miyazaki fan. She loves his name. And she loves the part when Calcifer eats the eggshells. Oh and when Sophie sees herself in the mirror. She can be asleep, but when she hears that munching, she perks right up.

Nausicaa was my original foray into Miyazaki. I always loved it, but it was a friend's fan translation so of course I knew I had no hope of finding it. And I tried to figure out what it was years later (after we graduated and parted ways. I think she lives in Japan or lived there for a while.) so I'm glad to finally have it. Good movie. But then again it is Miyazaki. I don't remember why I first watched Spirited Away, but... LOVE! It's so awesome.

Your friend sounds awesome for rushing out and renting that. So cool.

Hopefully I can squee tomorrow when I buy my copy of HMC.
