i can't help posting pics of my nephew. he is the cutest! here's his pouty model pose: also, having just watched miyazaki's castle in the sky (which, incidentally, i thought was my favorite of the 5 english-dubbed miyazaki movies i've seen ... remind me to borrow nausicaa from you, winnie), i was psyched to read about how in japan they have miyazaki stores. i ran across this blog that had a pic of a store's cat bus statue from totoro. here it is, with a drawing from the original so you can compare, heh heh: the blog also has some really cool pictures of (a?) sanrio puroland (i.e. hello kitty world) in japan. on his page click on japanese pics pages 6 through 8. funny.
