Back from a full day! The family and I (including Liz [livejournal.com profile] lizziethered) went up to Grapevine Mills mall (45 minute drive) to see Howl's Moving Castle this afternoon. We missed the first showing so decided to mall-stomp until the next showing. Well, we ended up in Books-a-Million (about 2/3 - 3/4 the footprint of a Barnes&Noble, I think), which has a itty-bitty science fiction/fantasy section and a HUGE Christian Fiction section. I'm not making this up; the scifi/fantasy section was 1 side of 1 row and the ChristianFic section was 4 whole rows. Aside from the Left Behind books, what the hell (::snerk::) is "Christian Fiction"? ANYwho, I picked up a photography book and a couple of puzzle mags.

Howl's Moving Castle was very good, as Miazaki films tend to be. I preferred Spirited Away over this one, but this was still a highly enjoyable flick. If you're a fan of good and original animation, go see it. Bring the kids too; they'll enjoy it!

Ah, but the thing about C.S. Lewis is that A) he can actually write and B) his stuff is almost completely allegorical, thereby requiring the reader to be able to grasp metaphor.

I almost never go to the Parks. The last time was earlier this month to get a birthday gift, but prior to that, I hadn't been there in more than 2 years. Besides, there's a B&N up here at I-30 and Collins that's much, much closer.
