Daruma Doll

I want a Daruma Doll. They intrigue me. It's a Japanese doll modeled after Bodhidharma. You color in one eye when you make a wish/goal, and you fill in the other when it's complete or fulfilled.
When the Japanese play red-light, green-light, they don't say "lights". Instead they say "Daruma-san ga koronda", which means "The Daruma Doll fell over". Those funny little things.

Reading Earthsea

I think I killed myself reading for almost 5 hours straight. I thought my eyes were going to rot out of my head(like persimmons, ha!). Or maybe just black out like I was going blind. Now I'm trying to get some feeling into my neck...The book I read was 'A wizard of Earthsea' by Ursula K. Le Guin. Of course, I read it because of another Ghibli film; Tales From Earthsea/ or Gedo Senki, if you like it that way. Hmm, dragons yes.
