Throwback on a lazy sunday

Today is so uneventful... and thats not always a bad thing. I enjoy laid back days as much as anyone else... probably more actually. While browsing Kodi on my Shield TV I decided that I would watch an oldie but goodie. 

On comes... Howl's Moving Castle. Its a Studio Ghibli movie for those of you who haven't seen it... and then of course shame on you for not watching. But I forgot how much I liked this movie. 1 part love store, 1 part adventure and 1 part magic and wonder... 

The story takes place in a world where wizards and witches exist and most of the vehicles seem steam powered. Our main character Sofie is a young girl working in a hat shop owned by her mom... you hear in the opening minutes about how wizards like to steal the hearts of young beautiful girls. Sofie doesn't believe shes pretty... A short time after, shes cursed by the Witch of the Waste and becomes and old woman. Afraid to face her mom she leaves home as an old woman only to run into the moving castle in the wastes. And so her time in Howl's castle begins. Along the way she falls in love with Howl, befriends a young boy names Marco and the fire demon running the castle, Calcifer. 

This is such a great story about War, love, self discovery and finding one's own way. I may have to watch a few more of these classic movies like Princess Mononoke or Spirited Away.

An Update of Sorts...

So the Super Bowl came and went... But definitely not how I imagined it. Carolina should've won but seemed like they couldn't get out of their own way. Lots of things went wrong but lets just forget about it because its over and done with...


We're about to end February and some things have been going on... or about to happen...

A new anime season is about to start... 

The WALKING DEAD is BACK!!!
I don't know if I've talked about it before but I am a big Walking Dead fan. I've read about 100 chapters of the comic and I'm current on the show. I do kind of want to watch the little mini series 'Fear the Walking Dead' and see what it's like. I've heard good things.

SuperBowl 50 is here!

So tonight the Carolina Panthers take on the Denver Broncos in what looks to be an epic battle. Broncos have a swarming defense and Cam Newton has been sensational this season despite having lost his big #1 receiver, Kelvin Benjamin.

Predictions? Expectations?

I thoroughly see this as Carolina's game to lose. The stars seemed to have aligned for Cam even though this is his first appearance at the big game... It is also, however, looking like this will be Peyton Manning's LAST trip to the bowl. A lot of people are saying that it should be Peyton because this is his last shot and father time is catching up to him but I'm not on that bandwagon. I think Cam deserves this on what seems like his comeback season after performing so poorly last year with injuries.

I'm rooting for the Panthers and will be watching tonight with my best friend and family.
