howl's moving castle

I heard quite a few years back about Hayao Miyazaki's howl's moving castle and spirited away but wasn't really interested in anime which was quite silly because I'd never seen any!

So I rented howl's moving castle the other night and what an absolutely beautiful movie. It reminded me of a time when Disney did a really good cartoon back in the 90s! Except it was a bit more dark and interesting like a good fairytale should be.

The story is a bit hard to explain, but Sophie, an average teenage girl, gets turned into a 90 year old woman by the witch of the waste. As she journeys off into the hills she takes refuge in howl's moving castle and the story is about the adventures they have as the curse lifts. The backdrop is one of war and love etc.

Anyway, if you've never seen it before I highly recommend. It's a gorgeous little story with beautiful animations :)

animal orchestra

I'm very suprised that I only found this cafe on the last day of uni ever! Turns out we loved Tsubu bar at uni a bit too much...Music students don't like to walk far for their alcohol :)

Animal Orchestra has an awesome interior, a crazy waiter and magnificant paninis! My friend Joelene tells me they do an amazing brekkie, so I will have to make a trip back soon. The crazy waiter will even take a picture of you, then of himself and tell you it's part of his job description! It's also fully licenced which makes it a uni student's (or anyone's for that matter) heaven.

Big tick for Animal Orchestra - 163 Grattan Street Carlton.

Idee fixe(s): Deep frying parties
