Howl's Moving Castle

I rented the movie version of Howl’s Moving Castle a few months ago, and it was a bit confusing but still quite fun. The book possibly makes less sense than the movie, which I didn’t think was really possible – how could anime come out as a logical story? But, it sort of happened.
At any rate, while some things were explained more clearly in the book, I didn’t really understand the last bit at all. Maybe someday when I’m not sitting in Jarom’s history class trying to ignore the professor talking about ancient geography, I’ll try reading the book again. Until then, I’m just a little too confused to really know if I liked it much or not. Although I think I did.

since then, jarom has been requesting “black & red fish.” we finally got the recipe from his mom last night, and I discovered it is, in fact, called blackened red snapper.
if you say it quickly, it does sound like “black & red” fish…
suffice it to say I feel rather silly.

we found a place to live! it is a fantastic apartment. about 3 blocks from besta and 2 blocks from quimberlee; pleasant nice-weather walking distance from campus; far enough away to have a feeling of quietness and escape from the crazed singles byu life. we love how spacious the place is, and it has tons of storage, a really large kitchen, only a few neighbors, plus a deck outside with reinforced hammock hooks. it’s well within our budget, pets are allowed, any repairs you do (including lightbulb replacements) can be deducted from the rent, and shoveling the walk in the winter gets an extra $25 off the rent as well. we filled out the application as soon as we got back from our “tour” and are trying to get it pushed through this morning.
so I am crossing my fingers as cross as they’ll go. with any luck we can sign the papers by the end of the week and have our official first apartment ready to go!
