I revisited these lovely illustrations recently, which Popman3580 first posted around the time that Mary and the Witch’s Flower, now a kind of forgotten movie, came out—and it certainly makes sense with that film’s similarity to Ghibli fare and the director’s relationship with the studio.

Cooler weather is coming to those of us in Texas, or as I like to call it, the Down Under of the US. A friend of mine, who hates hot weather, is always looking for the annual appearance of “pumpkin spice” products around this time. Since I enjoy hot weather but not pumpkin spice products… Read More Ask Sensei: Venti Skim Half-Caff Pumpkin Spice Latte With Extra Whip Edition
