Okay, I get it...summer is over.  The only way to get this message through to me was for imdb.com to bombard me with articles summing up the summer blockbuster season.  (BTW, I love that website and check its entertainment news daily.)  For some reason, the website keeps using the word "beau" to describe women (it's masculine!  It's French!!!).
     I'm very excited about the next Miyazaki flick, "Ponyo On The Cliff By The Sea," which is about a goldfish princess/sort of mermaid.  I'm not sure what it looks like because no pictures are on the internet, but you had me at "goldfish princess!"
     Birthday plans are makin' me excited.
1) Ninja (restaurant with servers dressed as ninjas.  For real!)
2) Karaoke Birthday Funtime
3) Sushi of Gari with my sis
4) Food Fest
5) Shake Shack (birthday burgers, a grand tradition)
